Steve,

I have not used the EZN inks. But......

The "N" of EZ inks is produced by adding similar amounts of cyan + 
magenta = blue to the otherwise warm carbon inks. So, imagine if the 
pigments in your ink settled over time and the amount of settling was 
different for cyan and magenta. Now you may have filled the inks with 
a cyan-rich (or maganta-defient) fraction from the bottle.

So, I would try shaking the bottle thorougly before extracting ink 
from it. You may already have removed enough ink to throw the entire 
bottle off-kilter.

Good luck.

Shilesh
