Yes--

The Epson tech told me to do 3 cleaning cycles in a row. That decreased the
amount of ink deposited about 85%, but the problem is still there. They
won't fix it under warranty because Epson doesn't pay repair shops enough to
do it. That's why they keep replacing the whole printer.

I might keep the printer in spite of this problem because all 3 that Epson
sent me in replacement were worse! And except for the slight ink on the
leading edge, this is a great printer: no banding, clean (no spray) inside,
quiet! and all parts move fluidly.

Or, if extra cleanings don't do the trick, I might return it for a complete
refund and go for a 1280 or ?
