If you still see missing ink in this Print Quality Check Sheet, repeat the cleaning and test print procedures at least five times. If ink is still missing after the fifth cleaning and test print, replace the ink cartridge for the clogged colour. (Perhaps the ink cartridge was in your machine over six months or the expiration date written on the cartridge package has passed. Or, the ink may not have been stored properly before use.)

After replacing the ink cartridge, check it by printing another Print Quality Check Sheet. If the problem still exists, repeat the cleaning and test print procedures at least five times for the new ink cartridge. If ink is still missing, call Brother dealer.

Caution

Do NOT touch the print head. Touching the print heads may cause permanent damage and may void the print head’s warranty.
