This is the strange part, After I installed the print head and started to put back in the cartridges, I noticed none of the red LEDs on the carts were lighting up. I tried removing and replacing the carts but still the LEDs would not light. So I removed the carts and then removed the print head. I checked it over and found nothing wrong so I placed the head back into the printer and made sure this time that it was seated properly and then pulled down the latch. I then started putting in the carts one at a time and all the LEDs were lighting up so now all was AOK. I ran one clean cycle and then printed a nozzle check. It came out perfect. Well I had seen this before. So I printed my test print which had a magenta stripe on the top and then one on the bottom with black yellow and cyan in the middle. This print came out perfect also. No signs of magenta ink starvation. I printed this test again but this time I made the magenta stripes a lot wider to really stress out the printhead. It too came out perfect. Well I have two other test prints one which The Hat gave me and another one that I had found on another site. I printed each one twice and they all came out perfect. So for now it looks like the problem has been solved. Probably a plugged channel in the printhead all along causing the ink starvation. I have decided to give it a day, cross all my fingers, and then repeat these test prints. Stay tuned……
