� Have you/did you run a set of Lyson cleaning carts BEFORE you installed the CIS? � After running the head re-calibration routine, it is best to switch the 1160 off - thereby forcing the printer to store the settings. � WD40 is not a good idea, a single drop of sewing machine oil (3in1) is what you need. � Are you sure that the 1160 printer heads are running completely parrallel both sides of the paper? Inspection of a CMYK purge print with a lupe will show this.
