Make sure that it is sealing properly on the cap top. I had a similar issue happen to my SG-300 a few years back, turned out the head wasn't sealing to the cap top. Did end up needing a new head due to actual damage making it not sit well, but I don't really see damage. I don't see any issues...

That might have done it. As mentioned, you could try work arounds until you can get a new head.

Most likely a head strike.

Yes it is. As you can see, in the black there is a bit more damage showing in the small bars. You might be able to get away with it for the time being playing around with profiles and not using pure black, rather using a combination of the other colors (CMY). However it does appear that you...

As mentioned by Roland Tech, go into the service menu and print a test strip, it will do a more detailed one with some smaller bars that might give more insight. However, based on your first photos, it could be simply that you need to play around with the profiles. Is this a new media or is it...

You have a bunch of deflection there. Looks like you may have had a head strike recently? As far as I know, that printer can only use Eco-Sol Max inks. What kind of issues is it giving you? These machines love to be used and aren't meant to sit around. If you aren't using it much, you should...

Did you do the limit initialization after the cable change?

TO me it looks like oversaturation. Have you played with different profiles to see if it helps improve?

Have you tried saving as a PDF instead of EPS? I know the EPS format is outdated and sometimes certain things don't print quite as planned in this format.

Don't pre-fill, you will fill once you have everything back together and turned back on. In the service menu, in the ink menu, I think it's called fill or something like that.

One question, did you power it on after you did that wrong crisscross of the ribbons? If so, my guess is that you blew something. Those ribbon cables shouldn't stop it from turning on unless it fried something when you put power through them incorrectly.

I'd recommend getting your hands on the service manual, it gives you the steps to follow. I'm sure someone could share it with you, it might even already be available somewhere on this forum.

If it keeps blowing fuses, there means there is a short somewhere causing it. If you're certain all the cables are good and connected properly, my best guest is something is wrong with the main board or the head itself, but I'd probably be leaning more towards the main board. Maybe someone with...

A tech doesn't have to rep[lace, but if you're not comfortable, it might be best to have one come in, as these can be easy to fry if done incorrectly or cause more issues. I'm not aware of a how to video for replacement.

You have some sort of electrical issue. Make sure that all the cables are plugged in correctly. Might be good to check the transistors on the main board to make sure all is good there as well.
