Richard, Tim et all. 
I suppose you are right. I´ll follow your advise turn the machine 
off and shall be patient, although meanwhile I printed a CMYK 
purge image on a thick sheet of paper (310gsm) wich was 
soaked with Windex with print head in the 0 (zero) position, 
which was soaked with Windex . You can´t imagine how much 
sludge was rubbed off the print head. That gave a better - though 
not perfect nozzle check
Thanks to all.
