If your capping station and sneeze tank look like A your problem is most likely hardware related.
- Using your ink syringe; pull from the waste ink lines until the ink in the syringe is a light greyish/green color. This step may need to be repeated several times.
- Perform a head clean to remove excess ink from the bottom of the print head.
