Best way to clear nozzles

[printimage]

I have a vj1204 and it is missing 1 dash in the cyan and 3 dash in the magenta. The rest are good. I did cleans and put some cleaning fluid in the capping station for a little while and it didn't clear up.when I go to print red I am getting a yellow line in it but you can only see it up close.
What can I do to get it printing with all the nozzles?

I would see if your machine has an option to 'wash' the heads. Basically just run a bunch of ink through. I'll usually wash several times and retest my nozzles. You might also check your lines for air, but with just 4 nozzles missing thats probably not an issue. As a last resort you can try soaking a swab with alcohol and holding it against the print head, but I stress thats a last resort since it may do more bad than good. I did have it help on my seiko-M before though.

That's not bad. Search the forum here for 'head soak' and 'head cleaning'. Been covered hundreds of times.

1. print red , come out yellow, means the printhead film open, need to repair or replace a new head.
Print head film is on the surface of the printhead, when it open, the color will mess up.
