Epson 4900 Nozzle Check Color Order

[Remo Nonaz]

I have a used 4900 that I am attempting to resurrect for black and white printing. Presently all of the cartridges (Cone) are loaded with Cone piezoflush. Using a 10-color purge page I can see that only orange, yellow and green are printing. When I run a nozzle check only one color prints. Since I am only printing piezoflush, I have no way of knowing which colors are printing in the nozzle check - anything that prints is piezoflush pink.

Can anyone tell me what the correct order of the inks is when a nozzle check is printed? How is this read - i.e. which is left and right? I am assuming the sheet comes out top down, so if I turn it around so that the print out is along the top, the box on the left would be #1, but what color? (Note that no blacks are printing, so any lettering on the page is not getting printed at all.)

Reading from left to right, the nozzle check printout is as follows:

Cyan
Vivid Magenta
Photo/Matte Black
Light Black
Orange
Green
Light light Black
Yellow
Vivid Light Magenta
Light Cyan

Thank's Mark. That clears that up. Now I now that yellow is printing a stripe in the purge page and prints a clean nozzle check. Orange and green print fine on a purge page but don't print anything in a nozzle check. All the other colors print nothing at all... work to be done!
