Pro 10s magenta

[palombian]

I whach constant to take air out.
Moust air acumulates in CO cart.
If i cant take it out i use siringe and pull out all ink and foam.Then i rotate al and i push back only ink.When it comes to foam i do stop and drim what is need to be full.

I seldom had problems with air when I refill by dripping.
In a "good" cart it is very fast.

If you mean by syringe, yes a blunt needle (dremel off a standard needle) mounted on a flexible bottle from where I drip the ink on the inlet of the cartridge.

Maybe not related to this case, but I had also clog problems with magenta in my Pro10s. That was after starting to refill OEM carts with Octoinkjet. The problem disappeared for a while cleaning the printhead out of the printer but it reappeared in a few days, although to a lesser degree. Switching back to OEM ink and, later, to Precision colors PGI-72 magenta fixed totally the issue. I reckon it was an occasional batch of faulty ink because all the olther Octoinkjet inks never gave me the slightest trouble.

I think this is the case by me also. Am gona tried OEM magenta next days.

I observed this today (after about 100 prints, most A4, some A3 and A3+ without any issue).
Went away after 1 cleaning.

Your magenta strip looks like mine from last year when I had problems with this color. Not massive clogs but something not quite right. Goes away with cleaning but returns in a few days, specially after printing in a row several photos with plenty of red-magenta colors.
If this is regular Octoinkjet magenta I start to see a pattern. You, @Borut, me..

It is PGI-72M, first refill of an OEM cart (that was never refillled and emptied of remaining ink).
There is something with it.
Ordered a PGI-29M, good for 3 refills.
Will receive it on Monday, stop printing for now.

The positive is the 9 other inks (also the red) seem to behave normally (although see the banding in the dark blue elsewhere).
These things remind me of the early days of the PRO-9500 .
