Artisan 837 leaking cyan (blobs everywhere)

[Russ Russell]

I have googled and searched for an answer/fix to this but haven't found one. My Epson 837 artisan printer that has worked great for over 2 years suddenly started putting blobs of cyan ink everywhere on any printed page. I've done all the various troubleshooting, nozzle cleaning, print alignment etc and it still spits cyan everywhere. I've changed the cartridges as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You're print head is probably leaking cyan. The only thing I can think of is to try to absorb as much of the cyan with paper towels positioned under the head when it's in mid position (pull the power cord with the head in the printing position).

Do the cyan carts empty quickly??
