Got a clog on photocyan only

Ah... I suddenly understand what you are saying. Gees, that's very smart to collect and reuse the waste ink. The waste ink is a mix of all colors of ink so it is as back as it should be. That's an excellent idea. But you do know that the waste ink is a mix of dye and pigmented ink, not 100% pigmented? It sure will work in a PG cartridge.

Any way, back to the original problem. I had actually seen a printer that each color channel took turn to stop printing. When I saw your thread it sounded very familiar to me. It turned out that it was a really typical leaking problem often happened when ink cartridges are refilled. There was too much ink in the sponge.

I fill with vacuum by turning cartridge upside down and using vent hole to fill. Then I squeeze it to remove ink from maze part.
I tried to fill using the exit port and that gets good results, you do not need to squeeze it to remove ink.

So it could be overfilling

I placed a drop of ammonia and ran cleaning cycles and printed nozzle patterns and cyan purge pages. When I look at the service print is the same as last one I posted. The nozzles work but spray ink in wrong place.

I was thinking to use scotch tape (magic tape) that leaves no trace to try and remove something that misdirects the flow?

test digital ph meter and in most case you probably must have alkaline cyan that.
must respond to alkaline solution . refer Arthur's entlitch .

something else you must make acidic solution if your cyan ph ink be under x<7.
that was easy , if you buy ph meter and test it all ink set alone in little container for test first
