Re: [Digital BW] Eb6 in 1400 Yellow Position printing too dark

2015-08-25 by Bharat Patel

Among other things I ended up doing a head clean! That seems to have sorted the problem. I will probably have to do a proper clean at some point soon. But how/why the ink gets sucked into other passages is baffling!

    I've seen what might be called "cross-channel pollution" occasionally in nozzle checks, but it seems to clear with a cleaning or purge pattern print.  I'm not sure how the ink physically gets into the wrong place.  It might be leakage from the K cart that gets sucked into the Yellow cart-printer coupling or gets their via capillary action.

      Hi,
Yesterday I refilled only the Magenta and Cyan cartridges on my 1400 using Eb6 and then also checked inks in all other cartridges one by one.  
Now when I print, the yellow position prints too dark - almost like K ink which sits next to it! Easily seen by printing in Calibration Mode on QTR. What could be going wrong? Anyone had similar experience with 1400? Solution?
ThanksBharat
