falcon outdoor 48 cyan in other colors

[laserman70]

I am getting cyan in my black and magenta dampers.
Any ideas on what is causing this?
I was thinking the printhead. I can pull it through the line and it clears it out of the damper and colors come back. When it sits it get blue back in the dampers..
Thanks for the help..

swolen sponges in your captops causing ink contamination and backflow would be my first guess

You can take a paper towel or better yet a lint free cloth and press it on the capping station to soak up some of the ink or even take the sponges out for a temporary fix.

Ultimately a I see a new capping station in your future.

I just bought a falcon outdoor and i am trying to get up and running again. Can you replace just the sponges in the capping stations? How long does a capping station last?
