We bought 3 months ago this printer everything went fine untill now , recently we changed the ink pump assy ( the whole capping station ) after that everything went fine again until i changed the dampers , my white wont want to print , the head is 100% not blocked because after ink charges the whites come back but after a half a3 sheet the white will be dosappear again , we changed back the old dampers but still same issue , the colors on nozzle check is 100% so i dont think its a capping station problem , but i dont know what can be the problem any ideas ?

Sounds like you changed the dampers too late and sucked white ink sludge into the printhead. It’s not easy to fully remove. It causes the exact issues you describe.

My machines only work with OEM dampers, anything else you can't get a good nozzle check.
