[QUOTE="Jonzjob, post: 217966, member: 10907"] I have had the printer for several years now with no problems. Just recently there was a problem with the printer after I had changed the cartridge for a non OEM carttridge. It wouldn't recognise it. I contacted The Cartridge People who I had got it from and as I had bought a couple of them they suggested that I try another one which was then recognised. I went on to use the printer and the quality was all over the place. So I did a head clean. From there on it went down hill and after a couple more head cleans I started searching around for a solution. I found a site that recommended flushing the heads through with a cleaning fluid, but not to use the ones with ammonia or IPA as they could cause damage, so I got a JETlifetech kit. I followed their instructions and it didn't make any difference, so I thought about removing the print head and seeing if I could find the problem. I washed the head through on all colours with the cleaning fluid and refitted it. The yellow cartridge was very low so I slotted a new OEM one in. Another head clean to flush the cleaner out and tried a test page. It came out near perfect except that the yellow is totally missing. This morning I wondered if it could be an airlock? So I flushed it through with the cleaner and left it for an hour or so and this afternoon I thought that rather than more head cleans and possible problems I would print of solid blocks of yellow, just over 1/2 a page of it. After numerous pages the yellow is still not printing. But when I checked the ink levels the yellow content has gone down by about 1/6th. I have no idea where the ink has gone but it isn't on the paper! Has anyone any ideas on this one please? [/QUOTE]
