I bought an Epson Stylus Photo PX720 WD, old model but in very good condition. I asked specialist here if he have some CISS for it, and i was very happy to find one. He changed my cartridges to this one. Many mouths i can’t use it because it doesn’t work good, i haven’t time to resolve his problem. I thought that it was just some air in system or that i must to clean it. Today with the problem of Coronovirus(I’m home for long days, like alot of you, think and hope you are fine in these terrible days )), I decided to repair it. After long time: cleaning and adjusting, i decided to see if the heads are quite in place, and i was chocked because CISS was from an other printer(the coulours are in other places). Mine with(from the left) Cyan/Yellow/Light Cyan/Black/Magenta/Light Magenta.
In this CISS: (from the left of course) Yellow/Black/Light Cyan/Light Magenta/Magenta/Cyan.
My two questions, the first:
Can i use the printer further? What can i do to/can i clear heads from the inappropriate colours?
Can i change the place of tanks in this CISS?/ what will happen if i will take off the electronic plate from tanks? Can i do this? Or can i change just the place of tubes like it must to be in my PX 720WD.
If i can not, did the coulours by mistake damage the printer? Thanks alot and sorry for my bad english.

I would take out the CISS as the first step and install the correct cartridges for this printer - either Epson or 3rd party, run a cleaning cycle and print a nozzle check and post it here. Did you get any error messages from the printer/driver - wrong cartridge , wrong color ?

Thanks a lot for the answer. No, no error messages from the printer and the driver, the CISS is looking like his original/real part, even on ebay it is sold for this model with the colors in the same order(of this CISS).
It will be write and logical step if the printer is not damaged. I will do soon (when this apocalypse and “all closed” will finish)).
