    Perhaps your capping tops are dirty and clogging your heads when they rest on them. have you tried replacing the caps?
  2. No cartridge recognition 10600

    Hi all, I have an Epson 10600 and can't get the printer to recognize cartridges. I have another 10600 running and I swapped out the working cartridges and it still didn't read. I just sent the main board out to be repaired and now I have the cartridge recognition problem. I have a feeling it is...
  3. Black lines JV4, anyone see this before?

    Hi, I can not rid my JV4 of these faint blk lines. They print at intervals of about 10 inches and go all across the 64" paper. I have tried using only front heads and only back heads. Same issue. I have cleaned heads underneath with swab, ran strong clean but can not get rid of them. I included...
  4. Odd JV4 Behavior

    I recently had this problem on my JV4 and I was told to replace the heads one by one with a head that is electrically sound. On the first one I replaced (black) the other colors fired. I had a bad head!
  5. Epson conectivity problem

    Hi All, I have an issue with my 10600 printer. I can not get a computer to see it. I have 2 10600's and one is working fine so it's not the driver or the computer, I actually tested it on a another desktop and same issue. it seems the computer will not see this printer at all. I have tried the...
  6. Help! Need Mimaki JV4 advice.

    Sorry I was going to post pics. I still have the issue. I cleaned the slider board with alcohol and a Flux brush. Looks new now. Cleaned ends of cables. Cleaned encoder strip. Cleaned main board. I don't believe it's the slider since I replaced it with one from my other jv4 and still had...
  7. Help! Need Mimaki JV4 advice.

    Thanks guys!! Much appreciation! I will start by cleaning off the slider board and re-seating the cables. I did not do the data swap correctly. I did not swap in pairs. Will keep you posted once I have the board cleaned. Have a great weekend everyone!

    Artbot, when you say data swap do you mean switching data cables on the slider board with the known good channels?
  12. Help! Need Mimaki JV4 advice.

    Thanks guys!! I have replaced dampers no change. I don't see how it could be the pump since I can draw ink out from tube underneath capping station then immediately run a test. No print. Since the head has ink in it from the syringe draw I wouldn't think it's the pump. During a print how does...
  13. Help! Need Mimaki JV4 advice.

    Hi All, If anyone knows JV4 I have a situation for ya: 4 heads not firing, only the LC and LM on front and back are working. If the printer sits a while (hour or so) they fire great on a test. Run another test right after and I lose them. Clean does nothing. I have changed damper and I can draw...
  14. DX5 epson print head locked?

    I never did the decoder to work. i moved on to an Epson 10600. I bought 2 used for great price. I have one set for sublimation and it has been working fine until recently. I had a blocked Blk/Cyn capping station . tried to fix but ended up replacing it with the one from the other machine. Fired...
  15. DX5 epson print head locked?

    Thanks everyone for responding. I believe it is a locked head as I have installed the r1900 head and the original 2 times each. the original head works fine and the r1900 head pulls a code each time. The problem with the original is that the head is clogged about 70%. I have two DX5 heads (now 3...
  16. DX5 epson print head locked?

    Hello All, I just pulled a DX5 head out of a r1900 and put it in my 7880. Getting an error code 0001001B. Is this a locked print head and will not work in my 7880? I checked everything else out including putting old head back in and it worked (except for the usual clog). My 4880 and 7880 heads...
