This problem could be caused by gravity: ink bottles too high in relation to
the printhead.  Try lowering the bottles just a bit and see if the problem
disappears.

Subject: Repeating Glob


Last week my 1270 w/ Niagara CIS (Gen 4 inks) began to print a black mark
(sometimes a "drop" approx 1/16in in size; other times a drop and a ¼" long
mark). The "mark" is 4 3/8" from the left paper edge and ¾" from the
beginning of the image area. The mark repeats every 5/8" , getting lighter
and lighter until it fades completely about halfway down the print.
If I print 2 images in succession, the mark will generally (but not always)
not appear on print 2.
?????????????? Test shows none of this; no head clogs, etc. The prints look
fine other than this. Paper is not an issue; it happens with HWM, Enhanced
Velvet, PSG.
Can anyone help?
