1324 help

Hello all back again Question my nozzle check was not coming out right so I did a head soak over night
came home and all the ink was empty ( new ink) any ideas what could cause this new head maintenance station and dampers

I had that happen to me with a new magenta cartridge not too long ago. I think they call it the “siphon effect”. Search that on the forum, there’s some info on it.

If you didn't plug the waste tubes before doing the head soak it created a siphon and pulled all the ink out of the system.

You aren't the first and you won't be the last! Most newer models have a valve that prevents this from happening but the 1324 was made just before they started doing that.
