C120 dumping ink out the bottom?

I went to move my printer and noticed I had a "pool" of black ink underneath. I think that either the printer was bad, or maybe a valve or something in the ink cartridge? Anyone have any ideas? :confused:

The C120 Printers don't have a maintenance tank all they have is a couple of layers of cotton in the bottom of them to absorb the ink that is dumped during head cleanings and start up. I would guess that the bottom of your printer is saturated with ink.

Yep, i used the printer for a few sheets of jetsetpro paper and then it sat..and today I noticed it had dumped a TON of ink underneath it. Any cause for this? :confused:

The printer was new (believe refurb? from Epson) and ink cartridges new

Here are some pics of the capping station and waste ink system on a C120. You see the little tube leading from the capping station. That is where all ink from cleanings, Charging, and start ups goes. This is what the inside of a never used refurb looks like. you can see that there is already a fair amount of ink stain on padding
