Check all the lines and joints anyway as partly clogged ones can cause problems. If you get the service manual it will tell you how to make sure the cap top is properly aligned. Did you also change the wipers as these should be done at the same time as the captop

Check the ink lines are clear from the bottom of the captop through the pump and into the drain bottle. Normally when you are getting this it is a failed or failing ink pump not pulling the ink through from the captop so it sits there. Also check the alignment of the captop and make sure it is...

Did you also change the cap top? If it isnt sealing properly against the head this can cause problems. Did you also change the o-ring to the ink line nut as this can leak air and cause ink starvation. What you need to do is work out step by step why ink is not getting to the head. Start at the...

Tell them to buy the backing paper, you will supply on your normal vinyl then they can peel them off and stick them to the wax paper themselves ( before they peel them off, stick them on and throw away the backing ! )

Is most likely the thermistor or the heater power board. The printer isn't reading the bed temperature so doesn't know when it has reached the correct temp to print automatically. You can get both pretty cheap on ebay

Its very unusual for that to effect all channels, normally it would be one side failing

If the customer isn't in a rush, this is the sort of thing I would quote a week to do, and just do an odd hour a day in spare time

It depends what you charge for your time really. Removing the old and fitting is probably a half day ish if you take your time. There is no real production time as its a vinyl wrap, so you just cut it and fit as you go. If you are mega busy, then maybe $800, if its something you can fit in on a...

The fuses are on the main board in the back of the machine. You need to remove the cover on the rear where the main power cable goes in. The two ( or one depending on the exact model you have ) are tiny surface mounted ones. You will need a multimeter to test them for continuity. If you search...

Did you do anything to the printer before it stopped printing? My first thought would be an electrical fault has blown your fuses on the main board. If these blow the head will think its printing and no error codes, but no ink will come out. The other option could be a failed main board or...

Ah I remember the cinema well! saw loads of films there in my youth. I was in Colne most of the time ( went to school in Bluntisham ) so not far from you

Do the manual test with the cleaning solution first as I suggested. Without moving the pump it should sit in the captop, and only get sucked out when you turn the pump by hand.This will let you know what the next thing to look at is

Yes the tops should be at an angle, that is how they work as it pushes the ink off more effectively than if they were just straight. Have you also cleaned the wiper plastic blade and the inside of the metal cover that covers over the wipers? These can build up ink on them as well. If your...

Don't put the head in cleaning solution or use syringes on it ! that is a really good way of killing a recoverable head. Both of those are last resorts if normal cleaning can't recover it, and in most cases if a head has got to that point, it won't be fixable. The Epson heads are very delicate...

Before doing the flushing, change the consumable parts like cap tops, wipers etc... and also manually clean the heads to remove an build ups of dried ink. Just flushing isn't really worth doing without changing these first. It is a bit of a pain they need to be left on, but its a lot cheaper...

Agreed, putting any kind of decal onto a corrugated surface never really looks good, and looks worse the deeper the corrugations are. You really need to fit some sort of substrate onto the tower and put the decal onto that to get a decent result. This will also solve any problems about having to...

Welcome Rob. One of the problems is these printers are designed to be used all the time, they really arent suitable for occasional use as they don't like being left standing, or even worse, not plugged in so they don't run the automated cleaning cycles !

If you move the head out of the way and turn the machine off, fill each captop with cleaning fluid, then turn the pump manually by hand and make sure the cleaning solution is sucked out of the captap fully and evenly on both sides. If the lines to the pump get clogged at all, or the y-piece...

I have used Corel Draw for over 20 years for design. Any vector software is fine for what you need, although I find Corel more intuitive mainly because I learned on that in the first place. I actually still use X3 as my main design program, you dont need a really new version of a vector design...

Are you doing it with the subpower off ? it should be plugged in and turned on at the wall, but not turned on from the front panel. Press the 3 direction keys together then while holding them press the power button on and it should work
