Drop of Ink

Note: A Drop of Ink refers to ink dripping onto the media.
Ink drips on the media come from two separate causes. The most common reason is a build up of ink on the nose of
the Print Head. The second reason is a leak in the ink delivery system, in the Print Head area.
Excessive ink build up on the Print Head Nozzle Plate is caused by problems with the Cap, Pump, Wiper Blades,
and Wiper Blade Cleaner.
Leaks in the ink delivery system (in the Print Head area), usually are caused by a bad connection between the Ink
Supply Tube and the Damper. Sometimes a leaking Damper will cause the issue.
