Posterization with the K7 inks is almost always due to one or more 
carts not
working properly.   It's pretty easy of overlook a totally missing 
nozzle check
so I'd check that again.   With new carts that show no ink output its 
usually
because the vent hole is clogged.   When you pull the tab sometimes it
does not come completely off.

Sounds like you just have to turn it around -- upside down on top is 
the same
as rightside up on the bottom.
