Digital BW, The Print

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

Hi, I,m on a 1430 but it looks very close to a 1400

Here's my two cents : 

1-if you print a nozzle check, the "Yellow" pattern is almost black
2- You print a second one and the pattern shows less black lines.

It happened to me after refilling; I would check the wiper blade and clean the heads. There is a nice video about it from ink Jet Mall.

Good luck

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.

As the Yellow position (my 6% dilution) is physically right next to the K position (100% ink), is not this close physical proximity part of the problem?  What would happen if, through my QTR printing set-up I change the physical positions of the various ink dilution percentages, i.e., with, say, the 30% dilution (instead of the 6%) next to the 100% ink.  Would this possibly lessen the likelihood of such ink "leaking?"   In doing this, I would of course modify my QTR printing profile accordingly, to reflect this change of ink positions.
