Are you using a CFS system? I've struggled with similar problems using
other MIS systems, and have discovered that doing the following seems
to fix the problem:
1) Suck out the foamy buildup from your cartridges using the bottom
ink extraction technique described on the MIS Web site. It's easier
than it sounds.
2) Ensure that you have a siphon break by taking the ends fo the tubes
out of the ink bottles and printing a purge chart until the tube is
empty, re-inser the tube into the ink. This creates an air gap that
prevents the ink from flowing too quicly into the print head, which
would cause the overspray and even ink dripping.
Hope this helps. I plan to do the above every 6 months or so as
preventative maintainance.

cleaned several times, used fantastic soak and run a lint free paper

after 3 or 5 inches of printing of an 11x14 image the some color
nozzles clog. Maybe the overspray or fog is a separate problem. I am
looking for some advice as to what to do.
