The second sheet had been having head strikes where the non flat areas were touching the nozzles and disturbing the ink nozzles.
In so doing it has wicked ink from the nozzle holes and thereby printing chamber causing an absence of ink in the nozzle and no printing. The rightmost bar on the printed chart seems to be indicative of that showing a really odd shade.

Perform some more head cleans. I doubt the dampers from the 800 are shot. After the above, assuming your printer was working fine previously, it should be restored.
