epson 1430 nozzle check

[retro1]

I picked up a used EPSON 1430 in good working order but it's not printing any of the darker gray colors correctly. There's a weird shade of bright orange showing up. I printed out a nozzle check and on the last two squares on the pattern (magenta and cyan) the line separating the two squares is curved to the left and two of the lines in the cyan are magenta. I have another 1430 and a 1400 for a few years now and have never encounter this kind of problem before. Does anyone out there know what's going on, and, or how to remedy the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated

and what happens when you run a nozzle cleaning cycle - or two ? Do the missing nozzles come back ?
