I had major issues with my printer and thanks to advice here I changed the 3 long ribbon cables and that fixed the issue. But now I have a new issue happening. The machine was printing perfectly for a few days. (I did not print much with it, but the test prints were perfect.) Then the magenta showed a really deflected bar on the test print. So I soaked and cleaned it, and then it got worse. It went to 5 deflected bars. I changed the wipers, cleaned the scraper, and did another head soak. I have also changed the caps. The magenta head came back quite a bit, but there are still some deflections. But now the black is getting deflections. It was perfect, then for no reason (I know of) it is getting deflections and it looks like maybe 10 of them. I am soaking, and doing medium cleans, but it is not helping.
What is going on? What can cause this, and more important how do I stop this and reverse it?
I will post some pictures soon, although they will just be test prints with deflections...
