White spots on my prints?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I have an Epson Stylus Color 880 which has given me an excellent service
until recently I noticed white spots appearing on my prints.
Very obvious against a dark background.
Is there a requirement to clean the printer and if so how is it done?

Blair, please send me a scan of the problem print (a sample area about
2x2" would be fine, scanned at 300 dpi and jpegged to high quality).

If I can see the problem you are describing, I can more accurately
diagnose the likely cause and solution.

Hi Blair,

I did, and I replied to you privately with my opinion of the cause.
Hopefully, you have received that by now. I asked for a bit more
information as well.
