This is a contamination issue.
Normally caused by the capping station either not sealing properly or something touching the head directly and allowing the ink to flow between all lines.
Firstly I would check the cap and that the pump is pulling through properly.
If not buy a new station.

I had this problem a month or so ago. Changed the capping station with one from china and it fixed the problem. Did a ton of cleanings and a printed solid squares of each color. Everything is back to normal now. I believe the problem with mine was the drain tubes from the capping station were dried up and clogged. May have just been able to clean the lines out but for $17 I decided to just replace the whole capping station.
