Digital BW, The Print

I don't know what exact inkset you're using, but with MIS quads the k
ink is more dense than the lighter greys. So it has more pigment
particles in it. The other positions are less clumpy and have less
pigment per carrier fluid.

It's well known that k ink usually gives problems first. Nothing to do
with your printer or configuration- relatively, k ink is plain old
gunkier.
