It's possible that after 30-60 minutes there is more than just the tip of 
the injector being filled with fuel...  I'd throw a FP guage on the fuel 
rail and see how far it drops after 30 minutes or so... Sounds like the 
injectors are leaking quite a bit more than they should to make it so rich 
it smokes... 5-10 drops won't do that!
I'd also aske the guy that cleaned them to show you documentation that they 
are "allowed" to drip a certain amount... All the service manuals I've 
looked at show that the pressure shouldn't drop more than 1-2 PSI after an 
hour and should still have pressure after sitting all night.
