Missing nozzles after severe humidity

[Murray]

Is it possible that severe humidity can be the cause of missing nozzles in my test prints? We had a flood where we had 2 or 3 inches of water in our shop and after things were all cleared up and dried out we had gone from two missing nozzles in the test print to about 7. There was water on the floor for about 48 hours in total. Im concerned about what effect the water might have had on the printer (a JV33) in general but the missing nozzles are certainly alarming. Ive tried every trick in the book to re-instate the nozzles but i fear they are gone for good. Anyone have any experience or knowledge about what I should expect?

Could be as simple as moisture collecting on the contact areas of the ribbon cables.

Was there loss of power for any significant time period during this flood? Could it be that the head dried while the power was out? These printers power on automatically and do a head clean according to the schedule settings in the printer.

Thanks for the replies. the power was never out and the auto cleaning was always on but the humidity was around 70% during the flooding so im just concerned that the humidity has somehow caused issues with the nozzles failing. The strips may also be affected. Should I perhaps remove them and clean them with alcohol?
