R2400 "drip" problem - need help

R2400 "drip" problem - need help

2006-12-17 by Scott Jones

I have been printing today with my R2400 with PK on EPSG paper 13x19" 
size and have noticed on two prints that there is a "drip" of black ink 
on the print a few mm in diameter. Luckily on the first print the drip 
was outside the image area on the border which I will trim. On the 
second print there were two drips right in the image area.

I have run nozzle checks which are perfect.

Never seen this before and am wondering what to do before I waste more 
ink and paper.

Thanks for any help you can give.

This happened to me on a 2000P and it continued to get worse and worse.
Needed a whole new print head, for what it's worth.

There is fibers built up on your head. Ink sprays, hits it ,and  
drips. Nozzle check will look fine anyway. Clean your heads surface,  
carefully.
