Thanks

Since my capping station seems "relatively" clean I'll look closely at the wiper blade (there is only one for all six channels on the 1430 - I don't know the model number in Europe).

Without using a cleaning cycle, the second nozzle check test shows no "dark" line; I figure that this is a bit of an overflow when retorting the printer.

Sometimes the waste ink pump does not cope with the ink flow or the capping station seals are dirty and reduce the pump's sucking power. When cleaning ink from one channel flows into another channel if there is a difference in ink flow.  Another less ideal concept is one wiper for the total of all channel nozzles, wiping debris and excessive ink from one side to the other.

This was more air in the "pipes" than a blocked or dirty nozzle. On my last refilling, I had the same missing parts (cleared after 12 hours) but this time I saw a dark line in the "yellow" channel. It's now gone but can cause that?
