    It could be that your pump is not working efficiently and running a powerful clean has not actually done much pulling through for that particular head. Try looking in the damper and along the ink line to see how far back the brown looking ink runs back. Also, if this is the case, you could try printing a large block of just magenta and that would force the ink through a little without the need of the pump.

    Best of luck, let us know the results….
