NOTE 2: The symptoms of this problem could be easily confused with dirty service station, autowipe feature activation, servo motor failure or firmware related problems. Please verify by checking all ‘Microbanding’ and ‘Horizontal banding’ causes first.

Color Test Problems

Symptom: After initiating the Color Test in a 2 pass mode one or more of the printed colors suffers ink starvation (Refer to ‘Ink Starvation’). If the starvation stops and starts as the color test progresses (i.e. the first swath starts to print then starves, the second swath prints and then also starves) then the cartridge most likely does not have enough ink inside (typically the cartridge should have between 15 and 30 ml of ink; cartridge ink level will eventually stabilize at 19 ml). Refer to ‘Cartridge Ink Level Check’. For all other color test printing failures please refer to the troubleshooting failure check below.
