You need to clean your magenta head(from the little I can see on the test print on the bottom of your picture)

I will post a print test shortly.. here is another picture... its looks like there is serious deviation. Is there any solution I could try, or is the head gone?!

 

[vance]

here is the print test. I have also changed the manifold by the way, could this be a calibration error?

I have also done a manual head cleaning, with very little preassure not to brake anything inside... I could see the spray deviated.

Use the search option on here and find out how to do a head soak.

You're not supposed to touch the heads. Is that how you clean them?

 

[vance]

yes I know, this is always last resort before buying a new head.

Could it be the head height? I have also changed the datacables and print head fuses.

Anybody has some information on how to calibrate the head height.

thanks

It's not the head height, you need to soak the magenta.

magenta head soak seems to be working, will give some more time.

Head soak then print blocks of magenta

Touching the heads can pack the clogs even further... I recommend you don't do it.
