  2. Vanguard VR6D Ink problems

    I've also been told that the "zero" point could be wrong over time. Not sure how that happens. Put your guage on it a see what it reads. You could also have ink in the negative pressure manifold or the in the small tanks mounted on the carriage. We took the whole system apart, cleaned evything...
  3. Vanguard VR6D Ink problems

    Crank up the negative pressure. We had the same problem and chased it for 6 months. The only thing that too much negative pressure will effect is lack of ink to the head which will be obvious when you run tests.
