Hi all, I’ll admit right off the bat I don’t use it as much as I’d like. I put a new head in at the start of November last year as the other had overspray on black at around 90k shots to a paint it wasn’t useable anymore. I’ve not used it since then but it stays powered on and does it’s periodic cleans but I went to it a few weeks ago to print something and found out that the drain bottle was over flowing and gone everywhere. I put a 500ml bottle of blue and black in when I used it in November and then noticed they were both empty. Checked last week and the drain bottle was empty but I’ve come in today and could smell it, gone to check it and it’s full again and the 1/4 magenta and yellow are now both pretty much empty and it’s been over flowing again. Luckily after last time I put a box underneath to catch it just in case. I’ve noticed that when I’ve powered it up to do a test print every now and then because I never put the cover back on when I was doing the printhead swap that the cap stations are full of ink and I’ve got to have swabs to soak it all up. Both fill up exactly the same but I don’t know why or how it does it. The cap stations push up to the heads and it never comes out around them so I’m not sure if it is them that’s the problem or not. I should’ve got this sorted when I first noticed it building up the cap tops but like most things I put it to the back like it didn’t happen so has cost nearly £100 in wasted ink
