    ET-7750 Ink pool at hub causing ink smearing?

    Given all of the above, I would say you have an issue with the waste ink removal system after the "parking pad". Either a clog in that system, or a poorly operating pump.

    yellow position in my 1430's nozzle check contains some black

    I have seen black "mixed" with yellow with frequency. I suspect some cross-contamination within the print head, but never confirmed it. A cleaning cycle always cleared it up.

    Suddenly Photo cyan nozzle check fail i9950
