In your pics, the last one:
-The mist sponge needs to be replaced.
-The wipers are curled and need to be replaced (if you try to do anymore with these, take them off, clean them then reinstall...the gunk that is on there now is wiped across the heads every time the wipers make a pass, negating the cleaning you just did)
-The ink buildup on the metal cover is excess ink from the wipers being flung into the top...you will always have a little bit to clean there after every use
-I would replace the captops (they seal the bottom of the heads when they are parked)
Good to hear you are contacting a dealer for service...make sure you talk to a real "tech" and not a salesman who thinks he is a tech...ask me how I know.
Good luck, you will love it when youe get these few issues resolved.
