On my 1 month old printer ink is bleeding onto the black foam strip. 3 stripes on the left side and 1 stripe on the right.

What does this mean?

What do suggest I do?

Thank you.

Personally I would immediately ensure I had an account and registered the product at https://www.usa.canon.com/contact-us/support and call  the phone # from that page or 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).

Thank you for your suggestion. I had already registered product. I called support and they said the ink strips on the black foam strip was OK. Hope there'll be no problem in the future. Richard

Cotton balls and forceps are great for absorbing excessive ink.

I wonder why no one said that it's simple can be overspray because of borderless printing. Even if you don't do borderless often, small bits can be there still.
