    Epson Artisan 837 suddenly getting corrupted prints

    Epson 837 - black ink blobs appearing on prints

    Thanks for reading my question. I just bought a brand new Epson 837. When I print on regular paper, it prints clean 99% of the time. When I print on canvas paper, I get these "black ink blobs" ("smudges") appearing. Usually on the top right of the page. But often in other locations. Usually...
