I have an Oce 318 that starts printing a dark blue color fine and then after about 5 inches just starts to get worse. Any sugestions on how to fix? Filters look good.

Can you define "worse"?
Do you have any photos you can share?

In the first picture you can see on the left how it starts off good and by the end it's bad. The second picture is the other end of the board and you can see how faded it looks. My nozzle checks all look good.

Hmm, this is a first for me. When your ink filters were changed last?
It kind of feels like the ink supply to the heads can't be maintained for very long.
Are you able to print some solid individual colour blocks as a test? Pure C, pure M, pure Y and pure K to see if we can isolate the issue to a single channel?
Maybe one of the ink pumps is on its way out.

Some ideas:
Ink filters need changed, meniscus vacuum is too high, pump is bad, or ink line is pinched.
