Thanks Paul,

Right I think it was a 1290.

Unfortunately not. Now it's a real fight against time.

Only 22%!

Maybe I should try to dilute the "new" Y-ink, 
when judging a purge file print the "new" Y 
appears to be between the LC and the real Y.
Think I have some hundred ml of cleaning fluid for the 7500.
Do you think I can use that instead of the simplified base?

>Good luck.
