"After all that, turns out the choke valve on the magenta line went bad. Waiting on a new part, but it's been bypassed for now. Prints are perfect again."
"We had a tech out and have determined it's a clog in the magenta line. The ink cartridges have been replaced with OEM inks. We have flushed the line between the cartridge and the top of the choke, we have disconnected and cleaned and flushed…"
"Try performing a flushing position adjustment just in case since you did replace the captop."
"So thinking several things but actually some things you need to see.
So who put in the damper? Check that it was placed in the same direction as the others. Dampers can go in either was - but as long as they are all the same way. As one ink…"
"The previous one was this morning test print. This was what followed. The latest test print is missing the magenta bars entirely, again."
"I'll take a look at the calibration test today, we did run that this weekend and do some correction already. Did an overnight head soak, got up this morning and had a reasonable test print, compared to the last one. Tried a print, and the…"
"Banding caused by missing nozzles, wrong calibration, improper profile. Your picture shows dark banding. So run the calibration test, your arrow should be under a pattern that is overlapping - the arrow needs to be moved to one that is just sitting…"

"Yes, third cap is there (more on that in a minute)
Ink is 3rd Party from US Cutter, Machine is well out of warranty. Been running it for over a year no issues.8th channel is cleaning fluid.Yes on the little spring. I'm terrified it's going…"
"under captop was the third opening capped
Is the ink 3rd party or oem
Guessing your 8th channel is a cleaning cartridge and you have is set up for 7 colors
Do you have the little spring on front"
"Nozzle test and the job where it stopped printing is attached.2 lines coming from laptop to pump connected, one line going to drain cup connected other side of the drain line T connection is capped like original.
Shook the cartridge plenty of ink"
"bottom of captop - 2 lines one stopper correct
Some nozzles - air in the lines or bad top
No nozzles - first step damper - one side can go bad - can be installed wrong in not primed - ink line tip needs trimming
Lets see that nozzle test, though -…"
