Strange R2400 nozzle check

Strange R2400 nozzle check

2006-10-09 by inteldes

I got my new R2400 Friday and installed the MIS EZW-Y cartridge late
today. Tonight I'm consistently getting nearly half of the magenta
nozzles printing with what looks like the EZW-Y ink. It's the top-most
nozzles in the test print and the transition between the gray color
and the magenta is very gradual. Otherwise, the magenta nozzle check
is perfect. I don't understand how this could happen.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I haven't done much printing yet with the EZW-Y cart. Maybe it'll have
cleared up in the morning.

This morning, the first nozzle check showed only the top 1½ lines of
nozzles affected by the EZW-Y ink. Again, the transition to full
magenta was gradual, from top to bottom and from left to right. The
first head cleaning cleared it up completely, but now my EZW-Y isn't
looking too good. Hmmm. I still can't imagine how the EZW-Y could have
bled into the magenta.

Try looking in the parking station to see if it’s saturated with EZW-Y ink;
the cartridge might not be “sealing”, allowing ink to drain out overnight
and contaminate the other nozzles.

Thanks for the suggestion, John. I had checked that after letting the
printer sit overnight and saw no indication of the EZW-Y having
leaked. The problem hasn't recurred. So, hopefully, it was a one-time
event and I won't have to worry about it—other than continue to wonder
how it might have happened.
