Do you see any drips on the nozzle plate of the printhead? Seems to me like there is some kind of leak affecting the siphon of the meniscus. When you put your finger on the end of a straw in a can of coke then pull it out you have a meniscus. If you have a leak the ink will follow the path of...

sounds weird I know, but acetone works perfectly and does not harm solvent printer tubing.

come to think of it I also know someone that is selling a fairly new HP 8000, pm me for details

I have worked with Seiko's for a long time. Has the machine been powered off for a long time? A possible way to clear the error is to hold the cancel and shift while powering up, then enter the maintenance mode by using shift, up, down, right then restart. Regardless it might be a good idea...

This version of flexi and your printer will never work quite right. I don't believe SAi supports that version of Flexi anymore, in any case your printer is newer than that program (current version is 8.6). Download a color test print to use as abenchmark for comparing different profiles then...
