Digital BW, The Print

Go over and join the Yahoo Epson printer group and you can search the archives for this topic.  A good resource to get is Art Entlich's Epson printer cleaning manual. (You have to email him directly to request a copy - his email address will be in the archives.)
Basically, Art recommends putting some kind of shallow catch tray and blotter (like newspaper) under your printer to contain any eventual ink overflow spill.  Also recommended as an alternative is re-routing the printer's waste ink tube from the pads to an external collection jar.  This requires drilling a hole in the printer case so the tube can get outside the printer.  Some have disassembled their printers to the point of being able to replace the pads with absorbent disposable diaper padding.  The difficulty level varies with the printer.  Some of the C series printers were apparently designed by Epson to never be able to be disassembled/reassembled.
Hope this helps.

Yes, it happened to me.  I'd guess at 1.5 x the Epson warning if the printer is carried and tipped too much -- like mine was.
