Ink splattering across print on a 7900

[Martos]

I recently purchased a lightly used 7900 which recently started throwing out big splatters of light cyan ink. It seems like the ink is leaking out of the print head though I can’t tell if it’s a print head issue, or possibly something wrong a with the dampers, or something else? I’m hoping that this is something that can be resolved without a head replacement.

I’ve replaced the wiper blade and cleaned the capping station.

Attached is a picture exemplifying the issue.

Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Most likely you have a LOT of gunk on the head, cleaning pad, flush box, etc. time to take the right side cover off and do a big cleaning.
