Dx7 printhead clogged

Hi everyone, it's been awhile, i just bought a DX7 printhead for my sinocolor printer, the thing was working fine for like two day till I noticed the a malfunction in one of the color production (black) I've tried using syringe to clear it, only for the Yellow to stop producing... I don't know what else to do, that stuff is too expensive and I don't have the money for a new one. Any idea is welcome.

Check the capping station. If it doesn't seal then the print head can dry out and clog. Also your dampers can get clogged and starve the print head/s leading to dropped nozzles. Rule of thumb in my book is if you lose more ink channels when running a cleaning, chances are it is a damper.

Thanks alot, I've tried replacing the dampers, there's improvements in nozzle output, thanks again. Just hope it gets better form here.

Is there any possibility bad ink could be cause?
