Been out of action in the sun.... for over 12 months

Popped some full cartridges in

1. Nozzle check....as expected not great!
2. Standard clean .... better.
3. Power clean.
4. Initiate fill

Now all are good EXCEPT the third one from the left (Light Magenta?) which shows nothing.

Appears to be ink in the tube without bubbles.

Now a bit of background when I used it for sub it would drift colour wise and have a greenish tinge. Looking at this if there was a problem with magenta that could explain why.

It didn't appear to drift when using ordinary inks (generic something from ebay), but it wasn't used anywhere near as much.

So I guess some tissue under the head at some point with cleaning fluid, and see what happens. Then damper next?

Don't need it so only playing (like I haven't enough to do!)

Really I should just put it on eBay as I really haven't got a use for it.

Whilst drinking my coffee I have popped some "Magic Bullet" under the head on a cloth.
Will now leave it alone for a few hours. Away tonight and all weekend for a wedding....really should have just left it alone. but where would the fun in that be?
