Hi, i currenlty own an Epson s40600 (just out of warranty), recently i started noticing ink accumulation on the media holders,
this morning when i did a manual cleaning, i noticed the print head dripping a small amount of black ink where the arrows are.
after cleaning it, it again started dripping.
any ideas?

thanks

Check first for air in the lines, dampers, o-rings and cartdridge rubber. Leaking means that air enters in any place. If ink doesnt return to the cartdridges while dripping on the printhead, check the rubber that connects the damper to the printhead. If still leaking, inside the printhead there is another rubber that usually shrinks with 4-5 years of use, and there is no replace (up to my knowledge). Sometimes the printhead manifold pins get a little broken too. But first check if the ink returns or not to the cartdridges
