[QUOTE="perkin-warbeck, post: 218754, member: 13461"] There is a spongy pad at the left end of the printer track. The pad is not mentioned in the P400 manual. During a head cleaning, the print head visits this area about three times. I have no idea what it's doing, but I'm sure it's causing the ink buildup that you see in the picture below. I should mention that my printer needs a LOT of head cleanings because I'm using third party carts and inks (Piezography). I hope that admission does not get me banned from this forum. After a head cleaning, I can see a pool of new ink on the pad, on top of the gunk. The ink just sits there on the surface. It is not being absorbed.[ATTACH type="full"]2085[/ATTACH] The pad itself is only about 1/3 inch thick and seems to be removable. It would be easy to clean and replace. I will do it unless advised not to. Can anyone explain the purpose of this pad, and why mine is overflowing like this? [/QUOTE]
