Welcome, let me know if you need any consumables or tech advise on that Mutoh, they are very nice machines! What shop? Ryan

Most likely you do have air trapped above the subtanks. The way I remove the air is a little different than pulling ink through the whole system. If you take the back covers off around the ink cartridges (there is an upper and lower cover), you will see a series of 4 valves under the small...

VPi - Proven track record. CJV- Lots of moving parts, unknown reliability.

It still seems you have an ink delivery problem of some kind. In general, printheads either work, or they don't. Your problem seems more related to how the ink is being delivered to the head. Have you pulled ink through the head and capping station using a syringe? This is a great way to find...

So a nozzle check before you start printing yields good results. If you cancel a job once the printer starts to fade colors, what does this nozzle check look like?

OEM Ink?

In each damper there is a micro filter, if you look closely it will be round and about a 1/4" in diameter. I have always been told never to squeeze a damper, not sure why? Personally, I think you have an ink delivery problem. We have not seen ANY bad printheads on the VJ series of printers.

I say clogged damper filters (unlikely if OEM Epson ink has been in use) or bad damper o-rings.

Welcome from NC! Guess they don't let you touch the 3360's down there?

To test for starvation: Run the machine in banner 4 mode for a few feet until the problem occours. Open the cover, this will pause the machine. Let it sit for 30 or so seconds (lets the ink fill back into the head if this is the problem). Close the cover and see what the results are once the...

Ink starvation? How old is the machine? This only happens in banner 4 mode?

Just re-introducing myself! I was formally ryanthig, we now have a new name and a new position on signs101. My company, Southeastern Sign Supply, is a wholesale sign/equipment supplier in Apex, North Carolina. We are looking forward to providing new and used digital equipment, sign...

Easy to setup on the machine. Leave the software alone. On the machine under menu, set over write count to 2, then over write weight to .5.

Been working on the VJ series for over a year and have NEVER replaced a printhead. What problems are you having?

Lets start from the beginning: How does the nozzle check look? High or low head hight? What media/profile?

Abnormal condition in head driver 1. FFC may be inserted obliquely or mistakenly. Check connection of head cable connector on CR board assembly side and head side. • Is head cable inserted obliquely? • Is it locked securely? 2. CR board may be faulty. 3. Head may be faulty. 4. Main board may...

Current 54" valuejet pricing is $14,995 OR LESS from any Mutoh distributor. This includes software (Mutoh Flexi Print SE),take-up and 1 year onsite.

No banner 4 mode, drops the top speed from 145+- to around 120 sfph.

Glad things are better but I just can't see how this is a heat issue. Are you saying the problem goes away when the heaters are OFF? On the intial heat-up of a valuejet the heat is very non-uniform. As the metal warms up the heat should even out. If this is not happening it is possible that...
