Bad cyan test print on Roland 540

[solantis]

My cyan test print is very fuzzy.. I've tried normal to heavy cleaning, manual cleaning, used a syringe and replaced cap top but still the same.. Any ideas what's up?

seems like your black is as well. Would make sense since cyan and black are on the same head on the sp540v. When was the last time you did the full maintenance? (wipers, cap tops, dampers etc.) Did this just start happening? Might want to also take a look at your bi-directional settings?

Also make sure the ink isn't expired or near expiry. If that is good and you've changed the dampers, caps, wipers I would suspect the head may be getting to end of life, when was the last time it was replaced?

My guess is your black and cyan need replacing. Black you could probably get away with for a while.
