Print Headprint Nozzle Check

[craigwojo]

I’m getting an uneven Cyan/Magenta print pattern on Printhead 2 of my Epson S80600. What’s odd is that everything seems to print fine overall, even though the cyan side of the nozzle check shows no ink at all.

I’ve already performed a deep cleaning on that C/M pad, but the cyan channel still isn’t firing. I also noticed a missing or empty nozzle on the magenta side.

I’ve checked the dampers, but I’m not entirely sure how to verify whether there’s air in the cyan ink line.

I've had this happen before, heavy clean on selected color works, but I've also done ink purge. You need service program for that, it will cycle the whole line of ink thru the head. Takes some time, and you waste ink but that works too. Then again, you might just have a dead part of your head and cyan won't come back, would need replacing. Switch machine to 1 head mode, you can at least use 1 head until you get it sorted out.
