Since the printhead prints by squirting ink onto the media, a minute amount of ink mist is generated in the printing unit during printing. The ink mist is collected in

the printer by the airflow. However, uncollected ink mist may stain the platen unit, carriage unit, carriage shaft unit, external unit, or purge unit.

These stains may soil the print media or hands and clothes when servicing the printer, wipe them off carefully with a soft, well-wrung damp cloth.
