I see... is there any reason why the darker shades of cyan work though?
Hobbicolors UW-8/Pigment Black

Did it work if you did a deep clean? It almost seems as if if I left the printer inactive for a couple of hours, it would revert back to the problem.
Hrm... well like I've said, it appears that the darkest shade of cyan worked, but not so much the lighter shades, leading me to believe it might be the printhead rather than the cartridge. Unfortunately, I don't have any more cyan cartridges, and I refill using the OEM cartridges.
