It's brand spanking new with less than 50 prints and 3 power cleans (priming routines) to its name so it doesn't get much newer.I assume the L800 is a pretty new one, out of the box - or already running for a while ?
I've seen de-lamination failures before and while this presents that way in part it's not consistent enough in the way you mentioned. This should be affecting the cyan in the same way but there's no evidence that that's happening which is odd.I'm wondering what Epson has done to the printheads since the R265 and similar starting with the Claria inks, I have used up a few printers, but never with this type of failure.
Obviously swapping around the buffers is a non starter as it's solid block but I hadn't considered changing things at the reservoir end... Good idea and exactly the sort of out of the box thinking I was looking for. Thanks!If there is a connection between the ink channels in the printhead it should work both directions. Contamination in a darker color with a lighter color may not be visible, but when you swap the two colors assumed to be affected it should become visible. Or you fill cleaner instead of inks into the reservoirs - into all but one to test the effect.
