I had overspray on an 1160 from a bad cart. Replaced the cart, & the
overspray went away completely. I think that the port had lost its seal,
allowing tiny amounts of air into the head.   -BK

Thanks for the input... thought about it for a while and decided it 
was probably lack of air in the carts, pumped some in the bottom, 
recirculated the ink and got to start printing at about midnight (why 
am I always working at the ragged edge?).

PS  I am fairly leary of the whole Windex thing since my friend's 
1280 totally crapped out after feeding it through the heads... I know 
people do this all the time... but...

Just a vote for you from a non-Windex person. I was warned against it by an
authorized Epson service center. He said warm water should do it even with
the pigments. So far I've had no problem with my 1160 since I followed his
advice using water occasionally. Sure cleans stuff up good! MIS-VM pigs.
