RJ 900 DRAFSTATION promblems

Hi,

Some problems with an 7 year old Draftstation.

First: I haven't used original inks from day one. Only dyes from third-party.

Second: I am not able to print yellow at all and magenta most of it.

in the last days yellow and magenta cased problems in printing, missing nozzles here and there. A normal clean move the missing nozzles from yellow to magenta and vice versa. I was only able to bring the printer back to print only performing a small ink charge.

Today I have massive ink starvation on magenta channel after a half a meter no matter how I have cleaned or ink charged the printer.

So I perform a dumper replacement for all channels.

Blacks and cyan are OK.

But I cannot print nor magenta, nor yellow. Magenta lines are OK, filled with ink and a nozzle-check shows some results but after a normal clean all nozzles are empty.

Yellow is worst: one line keeps loosing ink from the head to the cart after the ink refill procedure, the other is filled with ink but no results on paper whatsoever.

Some help, please?
