Got a problem and need some help! I ran out of magenta ink. The ppl at fellers said this bordeaux ink would not hurt my machine. I only replaced the magenta cartridge. Didn't print for a few days, in the mean time the power was shut off while I was gone and now all colors print but you guessed it magenta. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The cleaning fluid can be mailed to you?
Mixing two brands of ink..doesn't sound reasonable to me.
Get a new magenta eco-sol cart.
I've never done it, but apparently, you can draw ink thru the line using a syringe, when it gets to the head ( or close) reconnect the hose.
Good luck...Ken
PS..when the machine tells you to change the cart...change the cart.

Just to let you all know, I took off last night and got some cleaning fluid and a swab and gently, very gently wiping the print head and it completely fixed my magenta!!! The print test shows 100% of the jets firing..Thanks you guys so much for your help and from now on GENUINE ROLAND for our shop!!

Don't be afraid of after market ink. I use Triangle and will never go back to OEM ink.
The after market stuff has more solvent and you need to keep your machines on. Not the front system power, but the power needs to be on at the back of the machine. Every few hours the machine will do a mini cleaning cycle to keep the heads fresh.
FYI.
Next time you just have to put some cleaning solution in the capping station for about 20 minutes and then do a manual cleaning and you'll be good to go.
NEVER EVER mix ink types or use a cleaning solution from another brand. EVER! You will blow your heads. I guarantee it.
