Two questions....

1. I am printing a 4x8 banner, and about halfway through the print job, i look at the banner and realize there are several decent size drops of ink on the banner...what could be causing this? before I printed, I performed a thorough cleaning, and then ran the general head cleaning all groups.
?????????

2. not really a pressing issue, but after loading media, i "setup sheet" and the head passes over the media, then comes back with a way off measurement example-i loaded 63" media, and it says it is 72.5...what would cause this?

A piece of banner fuzz stuck to the head is most likely causing the ink drops.

Left pinchwheel is probably not the LEFT-MOST pinchwheel

Make sure that the left pinchwheel that you are using is REALLY the left-most pinchwheel (with the reflective stripe)

I've made this mistake more than once... 30" media reads 54"...doh!

I agree, its actually called spitting. Sometimes even though not recommended you have to rub VERY gently the head.

 

[woolly]

normally cause for ink drops are the pumps not sucking the waist away completely and or the wipers poor condition.
the fact that you had just cleaned it is also a pointer to this.
