Hiya's.. I'm getting 'splodges' of ink on the front right-hand corner of the envelope (when looking down on printer from front). It's an ESC 3000. It only happens with envelopes.. although I havn't tried anything else thicker than 200gsm gloss cardboard. I heard something about it being related to the spunges under where the inkcartridge resting when in the 'home' possition, is this the case? .. if so how do you clean them? .. otherwise, any suggestions?:-) .. The ink 'splodges' appear about one in 20 envelopes, and for about 1/4 envelopes there is a small amount of ink spread along the very very edge of the envelope on the same corner.. mostly only visible when looking side-on to the envelope. Thanks for any help, Roger. =========================================== Roger Groom rog@omen.com.au http://www.omen.com.au/~rog * Graphic Art & Astro Photo pages =========================================== - Please do not include an entire message in your response.
