Greetings Ken,

Try reseating your print head.

Ken,

Some people have also successfully cleaned their print heads (if clogged) using distilled or de-ionized water (shallow bath). The print head doesn't have a bunch of moving parts, but remains delicate. I would not perform the cleaning unless you are prepared to purchased a replacement should it come to that.

Is the part available and, if so, how expensive? Can you point to a tutorial for cleaning?
