Seiko Nozzle Check Problem

[acothran]

I seem to be having a problem with my nozzle checks, mainly AFTER cap cleaning (see pic). This is mainly happening on the black head. When this happens, I run a Clean-Normal cycle and it fixes the problem. Could it be time to replace a cap? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Replace the cap (at least) or the entire capping station assembly you will see a huge improvement! Lots of wear parts in there.

The print head itself has some serious grime built up I'd guess. Replace the caps, and the wiper bar and sponge. Make sure the wiper sponge always stays moist with solvent. Make sure there is no ink built up on the edge gaurds.
