  1. Mutoh MS31 ink changeover problem

    This is a common issue with the new black MS-31 cartridge. 220 and 440. The tab on the bottom that pops out and hits the ink end switch is not coming out Mutoh is aware and should be addressing it.
  2. Mutoh VJ1324 Not Printing

    I went through a similar situation on a 1638UH. Customer moved machine from California. When I arrived it printed a nozzle check with very little printing. The pallette printed but I knew it was not perfect. When I pulled the dampers out of the first head, the the damper space was filled with...
  3. Discussion Does anyone know Mutoh Vertelith RIP?

    I have been using it for a couple of days. Doing testing with it on a VJ-1638X. Seems pretty intuitive. Rips quick and generic profiles are printing nice. I have had a couple issues with it locking up after I play with it and make some changes. After restart it comes back.
  4. Mutoh 1624X acting like its printing but no ink coming out.

    check the fuses on the main board. there is one that blows if you have electrical issue with the head (pull cables while power in machine)
  5. Mutoh 1641 SR stopping halfway

    Try reloading the media. If there was something printed on the media before you loaded it, It will think that is the edge of the media.
  6. not turn on the mutoh 1624x

    I have had a power supply go on a 1624. It was by no fault of the printer. I would urn the machine on and it would die at almost the same spot every time. I went through all of my normal diagnostics and noting. Then I realized that if I put the paper handle in the up position, powered the...
  7. Need Help Help! We have a Mutoh Value Jet VJ-1324

    Are those lines in the feed direction or the print direction? if they are the feed, check the rollers. clean with alcohol only, not cleaning fluid.
  8. Question how many different hybrids did mutoh make?

    They have several. 1608,1617,1627,1626,1638. I have been working on Mutoh's for a long time. You will have your hands full with your plan. It might even cost you more in the long run. This could be a great time to take Dave up on that offer. There are a lot of systems going on in the machine...
  9. Mutoh 1204 Head Gap

    That looks like it is sitting up too high. Make sure it is all the way down. You will have to pull it forward and back, I bet it is hanging up. You also need to make sure that the plastic pins on the back side of the hold down go in the carriage. then put the screws in and tighten. the head...
  10. 1324 damper issue

    DId you get an original Mutoh maintenance station? I have had a couple customers purchase generic stations lately that did not work properly.
  11. 1324 dampers

    I do not suggest it. I have been doing this for many years and I am very comfortable around the printhead. I still pull the head. you can not have any ink drop on the outside of head or cables.
  12. Need Help Mutoh VJ1324 printhead/cap top adjustment

    I would also check the line that has no resistance. I have seen them fall off the bottom of the cap.
  13. Need Help release printhead vj-1324

    Open middle cover. Press down on the screw on top of the solenoid attached to the cutter.
  14. DIY Inkjet Upgrade.. that you'll wish you'd done sooner! (LED Platen Lights)

    The new Muto 1641-SR has lights inside. what a difference.
  15. Start clogging magenta vj1324

    Just because it is all new, does not say it is working properly. when black or magenta start dropping out, you need to check the cap is sealing properly. They are at the end of the head and are usually the first to show signs.
