  1. Black streaks??? WTH?

    Interesting! I actually have a humidifier in a closet somewhere in my house. Definitely will try this
  2. Black streaks??? WTH?

    This has recently started happening. Mutoh 1624x machine. From the rollers to where the platen it's perfectly clean, but then where the printhead is working back and forth it begins doing this random streaking effect. It's sometimes the direction of the rollers and sometimes the direction of the...
  3. Mutoh 1000ML ink adapters?

    Hey guys, wondering if I can get any input from any of you have or are currently using the ink adapters to convert to the 1000ML ink bags on your Mutoh printer like in the photo i've attached? My fellers tech who installed my printer (Mutoh 1624X) a few years ago advised me not to do it due to...
  4. Graphtec FC7000 vs FC8600

    I currently have a 40" Roland but have been desperately needing a bigger plotter for a while now. With that being said a 54" graphtec FC-7000 MK2-130 just appeared for sale in my area and i'm thinking about pulling the trigger. New to them so was wondering if there are any major differences in...
  5. Mutoh 1624x cyan nozzles missing after autocleanings only

    Thank you! I just spoke with a Mutoh technician today and he advised me to go to Carriage Maintenance function on the printer, pour some solvent in the cap top and press the down arrow to clean out the pump. He feels it may be the pump causing the issue. Solventinkjet, i'm with you, i think it...
  6. Mutoh 1624x cyan nozzles missing after autocleanings only

    They are the 440ml EnduraInk cartridges, not refillable or anything. May need to switch back to OEM asap if this is the case. After multiple cleanings all nozzles came back once again last night and test print looks brand new. Just annoying. Seems like it's something to do with the "short" auto...
  7. Mutoh 1624x cyan nozzles missing after autocleanings only

    I have exactly a one year old Mutoh 1624x printer and it's driving me crazy because I feel it's way too new to be doing this. I've noticed that only after it does an auto cleaning cycle it begins missing the middle portion of all cyan nozzles. Usually after 20 or 30 cleanings I can get them all...
  8. JV33 print discoloration

    I've recently encountered this problem only at the very start of anything that I print involving the color blue. After the first few centimeters it clears up and prints perfectly though. Any ideas on what could be causing this for me? As soon as it started this last week i ordered a maintenance...
  9. Enduralam Laminator Speed Issues

    After replacing the speed control potentiometer, it was still doing the same thing, zero or full blast. I then popped the speed control module off and took the plastic cover off and part of it was burnt where it got hot/shorted out or whatever. It wasn't damaged too terribly so I soldered the...
  10. Enduralam Laminator Speed Issues

    Thank you, i pulled the side of the laminator off and got some info off of the potentiometer and ordered a new one, i guess if that doesn't fix it, it'll have to be the speed control modue pictured in hitechsignny's image he posted above. Thank you for the help so far on this issue

    I was led to one of your old posts on here regarding your UST laminator. My dog chewed some wires and i guess they shorted out and blew the fuse. So when i wired everything back up together and put a new fuse in it, my speed adjustment goes from zero to full blast, there is no adjustment. Do you...
  13. Enduralam Laminator Speed Issues

    I'm having the same exact problem with my enduralam 54" model. Any input or suggestions on what you did to fix it? 3 nights ago mine was working perfectly until the new puppy living in my shop got a hold of some the exposed wires. The next day i tried using without knowing the wires were messed...
  14. Jv33 Black Lines In Yellow, Help Please

    Thanks so much Vander, i appreciate the response! t\The wiper is out of the way when printing and the ink doesn't drain instantly after a cleaning but it does fully drain after 30 seconds or so. The inkcicle thing you're talking about might be possible, i'll move it to the left side and check...
  15. Jv33 Black Lines In Yellow, Help Please

    I have a JV33 and just recently i started noticing my print quality in yellow go downhill. It starts out pure yellow and then about 6 inches into the print black streaks start appearing in the scan direction like banding. I just changed my cap top in effort to fix this but it didn't. Do you guys...
