    Do the heads share capping stations on that machine?

    If the ink level’s really low in that one…might have siphoned.

    You checked the feed tube for colour?

    ps. sorry if this is all ‘teaching granny to suck eggs’ Fred!

    With 1/2 the printer dismantled to get to the tubes they seem the proper colours inside!!
