I have a 2-3 year old printer which appears to be failing the nozzle check. All of the colors are fine except cyan.
The test patters is darker cyan over the top half and lighter cyan on the bottom half. There are no streaks, just the light /dark split pattern
Have tried cleaning the print head numerous cycles and done repeated deep cleanings. did not help.
Removed the print head, soaked it in distilled water plus Windex. Sprayed with with alcohol to remove water and dried it under a fan for several hours.
Returned the print head to the machine, did 2 deep cleaning cycles after the print head was prepared by the software. Still have the split cyan test pattern on the nozzle check All others are fine.
Time for a new print head? Anything else to try? If so, any recommended vendors?
Thx
