Major overspray

[maynemag]

Hello all,
I have a FJ-50 and it seems as if my right printhead has gone haywire. It is dumping plenty of ink onto the media. The image at the top left is when I try to demo print and I just get a huge pool of ink. The image to the right is the test print after a head clean. What are your thoughts?????Replace printhead? Another problem?

your head is bad. mine just did the same thing and soon after set itself on fire. had been using the printer for 10 years and never seen a head go out like this. so beware and just stop using that head.

i attached a photo of my break down... so you can compare.

one other note... during the head replacement (which never happened). i think my power supply mysteriously went out in a strange way. not sure if they are related. i'm working on the printer early this week. the thread for that issue is:

Thanks artbot, I will replace the head and see if that fixes it!
