The entire procedure is in the manual, and you have to follow it to the letter to achieve desired results, including waiting 10 minutes after a flush before running another test pattern. You have to have patience with this ink beast. I don't think I have ever had a service call on it that took less than an hour, sometimes more. Also, get on TSRC and find the bulletin that deals with "early printhead replacement." It has a set of SP's to change that schedules the machine to automatically clean the printheads. It does help a lot.
