hp/ seiko pump tubing Hello Artbot, Thanks for your reply. I would like to know if you have purchased pump tubing for the hp 9000 or seiko 4s. a while back I ordered from a china suppier some 8mm x 4mm pump tubing but the hardness was too much for the single pump motor for the capping station...

Shortly after purchasing my HP9000 back in 2005, I did some research and found DCA04 NDI cleaning solution by Lyson which is sold by NAZDAR, I was told that this solution is used for cleaning true solvent grand format printers. I used this solution since then on the wipers and caps. However, I...

clogged KM 512 print heads Hello artbot, I recently acquired 3 hp9000s printers that's been sitting for a few years. can you shed a little more light on how exactly you used the NMP solvent? Did you flush, ultrasound or just expose the orifice surface to the solution? I do have butyl...

Montroy is a dealer for Mimaki and ordered the $4 plate for me.

The printer was using 6 color and 3 printheads. I am converting to 4 PH to run CMYK 4 color for fast production work.

Hello all, I am expanding my JV3 160SP to use 4 printheads. I purchased the PH but it did not come with the steel plate required to mount the PH to the carriage. I was told by MImaki that only OEM printheads from Mimaki come with the steel plate, part # M 504020 S. Does anyone out there have one...

Is there a particular way to assemble pump rollers? Hi everyone, I just purchased a JV3 160sp and I am refurbishing it with new heads, caps and just got the new tubing for the pump. I believe that the pumps were worked on since one of the pumps has two different tubes, one is clear and the...

Hello MachServTech, It's veen a while since we last spoke. I'm wondering if you have run across any suppliers that carry parastaltic tubing for the HP 9000s. Thanks, csc

Make sure the plastic shields on both sides of the printhead carriage are seated down properly. A friend had his shield up higher than they should be and excessive air was getting in between the head and media causing ink to drift instead of dropping like it supposed to. Also when not printing...

If your prime pumps have a lot of hours then the pump tubing may be flat and not pump enough ink. you might have to replace the tubing in all the pumps. Check your capping station caps for tears or hardness, they should be soft and pliable. Make sure print heads don't have built up dry ink as...

Has anyone ever adjusted the line pitch in the Roland PC 60? I read the user manual and it was not quite clear on the procedure. Also, does anyone have a service manual for this printer? I would like to correct the line pitch so that I may make cut labels. Thanks

Are any of the fingers on the spools that hold the media broken off? I was having problems a few years ago and found that missings tabs on the spool can cause the media to feed to one side or the other. I replaced both spools since they each had at least one broken tab. Never had that issue...

Read through manual and still cannot find anything relating to that pause while outputting a large job. Does anybody have an idea on how to handle this problem? I do maintenance on a daily basis, even on weekends when not in use. Please help! Thanks

I am printing an 8ft banner. It stopped at 16 in. before end of job to do an auto clean. When it started up again it left a gap approx 1/32". Is there an option that I can set to do auto clean after an 8ft job. I rests after 40 cycles but I don't think this reflects on the auto clean cycle. Any...
