Okay, before I did anything, I did another nozzle test, and the yellow is coming out more yellow again. I wasn't thinking right (and kind of misinterpreted what you said) and I did one cleaning cycle. The results are basically the same as the first pages you saw in my earlier thread.
I didn't take the printer apart, but I looked with a flashlight inside the printer. I looked inside the printer for leaks, but could not find any. I'm not exactly sure what a leak would look like. Would it be bold, like the colour of the ink, or black-ish, if it were on that foamy thing underneath the print head?
I do see some ink residue on what I'm guesssing is the waste ink reservoir, but it's not all that heavy, and I can see some of the original foam colour around that. There are some very small bits of yellow and cyan on the plastic near that, but not a lot.
Is it possible to get your hand in through the front of the printer to remove the waste ink pad to clean it, or do you have to take the printer apart?
I will do that next, if necessary, but need to be pointed to a HOWTO or similar to learn how.
