Might be solved by waiting overnight, or you may have a leak at the
elbow or too much air in cart/tubing. Perhaps you didn't get a good
pinch on the tubing when charging...in this event you'd have lots of
air in cart.

I'm going to suggest an easy trick that will mean buying an MIS bottom
fill adapter and a 20-60cc syringe. Cheap. Insert the adapter into
bottom of cart be sure not to push too hard or you'll run a slight
risk of damaging screen filter. You draw ink out of the Magenta and
deposit it back in bottle, and repeat until the ink no longer looks
foamy, but "solid" liquid. MIS says you need to get about 60cc drawn
out, the time or two I had this issue, I needed only 10 or 20 drawn out.

But check for leak at elbow since above technique won't help you if
you're seeping in air here. And if my trick still doesn't cut it with
a good elbow/tube seal, time to recharge a new cart.
