Digital BW, The Print

wipe out your printer with a damp paper towel, it's caused from blobs of
ink in the printer.  You may have to do the windex paper towel trick,
send the printheads to the left side of the printer, unplug the printer,
and put a 1x12 inch paper towel (fold it over and over on itself) in the
trough and drag the print heads over it. This plus wiping out the
printer, plus a couple head cleanings should do the trick.

I thought I'd post this solution justt received from MIS for the 
group's interest:

It is  caused by siphoning in the CFS unit.  It happens when there is 
not air
pocket at the top of the cartridge.   Read the solution on the our 
CFS FAQ page,
about half way down.

If my printer is spitting, how do I stop it ?  
http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/cobrafaq.html

After you do this, then soak a sheet of matte paper with rubbing 
alcohol, and
feed it through the printer about 10 times.  This will dry any loose 
ink that
may be on the rollers or feed mechanism.  Also wipe up any loose ink 
you can see
or touch with paper towel.

No, I know. you have dripping from excess ink. You need to do a thorough 
cleaning of the heads, the printer inside, and the
print head bottoms.
