print head duration latex 260

[juf1an]

Hello everyone,
I have a hp latex 260 and I want to know how many milliliters it is the duration of the print head.
My printer damage 4 print head and he says it is because of edge holders, (the print head car, crash to edge holders) the media (polyester) push up the edge holders (thats my printer says)

whats your opinion?

Too many variables. I've had some heads last way too long, some not long enough. If you have a head strike, because of edge guards (I've had it happen) it most often only trashed head no 1, a C/Lc head. So Keep extras of those on hand. I've had to replace one with maybe 1 hour of printing on it, got trashed in a head strike. Presently my usage is this:

1 - Cyan-Light cyan	false	false	2440 ml	245%
2 - Cyan-Light cyan	false	false	3740 ml	375%
3 - Yellow-Black	false	false	2930 ml	295%
4 - Yellow-Black	false	false	3120 ml	315%
5 - Magenta-Light magenta	false	false	1170 ml	120%
6 - Magenta-Light magenta	false	false	1140 ml	115%

I have had a few that went in to the 4500+ area.... so you never know.

We have a L26500 and usually get about 1500 - 2000ml. If nozzles don't drop by then, the colour shift is noticeable.

Our 260 is dedicated to jobs that aren't vital with the colour. I recently changed a light magenta because the grey point was getting just a touch green. Over 19,000mL. They last for ages so long as you don't get head strikes, but colour shift is the decisive factor for when to change them, not physical damage.

We are averaging 10,000ml before noticeable color shift from ours

yeap, mine have 5000ml until the damage. But, it is the operator´s fault? He crash the printhead car to the edge holders because it were released and he said its because the media.

Usually 5-10L per head from ours.
