I'm hurtin bad in the printer world. I've intermitantly not been able to print random colors from time to time (CMYK X2) and normally if I do an ink fill or extended cleanings, I can always get them back. Monday I came in, and didn't have any magenta on one side, so did a bunch of cleanings, then I lost the other side. I did everything I knew to do, and couldn't get it. Did some research, and people suggested the cap top. Long story short, I've now overnighted two different days, to the tune of $100 in shipping, and I have $200 in parts, and still have the same issue.
I've replaced dampers, the pump, wiper, O-Rings, and the cap slider. I can pull ink with a syringe to the bottom of the damper if I open the ink valves, and it prints the other three colors perfect every time. I'm really hoping to not have to call a tech in, but I've not printed a single thing the entire week, and I'm gone on vacation all next week, so it'd be amazing if anyone has any tips to get me up and running.
I did get one side to fire magenta for a short period of time, a test print or two, then I did a hard cleaning from the cleaning menu, and I lost it again.
