I am using OEM inks, but I know the previous owner used after market inks in the past. Just another update, I now realize that this IS something wrong with my capping station. When I manually pull up the rubber seal with my tweezers, so that it sits just a hair taller than it normally does, I...

Thanks for all the input guys. I just wanted to update everyone on my situation. Ever since the DEEP cleaning I did on my machine, it has been firing all heads like a charm. It seems to only get clogged if I miss a day of printing. So I make it a habit to print at least one thing a day. I...

Well, from watching your video, I think you might have the same settings as I do already. If you don't, I went to "Auto Reg. Mark" in the menu, then in "Auto Scan", I set it to "OFF". It was turned on by default on my machine with caused it to do a goffy search all over the media trying to...

Thanks for the suggestion guys. But I really want to be 100% sure before I throw money at the situation. The more I open up and play with the machine the more I understand it. Tonight I was able to syringe ink from the tubes leading out of the pump, which means (correct me if I'm wrong) there...

I have found that turning off the auto sensor on my graphtec 5000-60 has helped a great deal in recognizing the registration marks. Instead of watching the electronic eye search everywhere for the fist registration mark, (moving he eye in an L pattern over and over again while it moves the...

Hello All, First off I just want to thank everyone who has posted here. This forum has been a BIG help to me in learning how to service my own machine. I have recently purchased my first solvent printer in the form of a used Mutoh 1204 Valuejet. I have had problems with it since I got it...
