you'll be amazed at how essential the stethoscope is for diagnosis. for the longest time i would hold a 1/2" poly tube to my ear (if you have a tube laying around..?). with that alone you could hear exactly where the leak is at. when you zoom in on the exact spot it's about 20x louder then...

okay so officially the price is $710 @ 20. and the list of 20 starts NOW. (i am not purchasing from this quantity. my supplier is already close enough to that price.)

@fieldcenter, so what is the unit price at 20? we need to start this off with price per unit @ 20 method of payment ship date i really think the best way to start this off clean is for fieldcenter to state his terms. then we start the list after he has given us the details. there will...

regardless of how the checks/payments are escrowed, i do believe the simplest way is to just mail separate checks or paypal to fieldcenter. i doubt he wants to get on the phone 12 times to get his deal done. also, would they be shipped separately? i commit to two as well. so we are...

thanks for the reply fieldcenter. after the list is assembled, are you okay with receiving multiple payments/checks? i'd figure a single purchase would rather be done with minimal paperwork. but each buyer will probably want a receipt/deduction for his individual purchase.

is there any shadow on the printer's platen? also, is your reader sitting flat/facing down? they are not attached very well. incidentally, the media reader is what is responsible for head crashes, not the heads. i've taken my reader bracket off and attached the reader directly to the carriage...

hey mikepro! first off drink a beer. then go to autozone and buy an automotive stethoscope. you need to pin point the hiss to it's exact location. they only cost $9 and are a must. as far a eliminating the pumps, just to a pump tube swap and see if the issue migrates. as for the manifold...

the green light lighting up with no boot is common when you have this problem. i assume the power supply turns on, the board checks for proper voltage and if it senses an issue it turns off. i've had this with no damage. can be a drip on ink somewhere, a data ribbon upside down, etc. and yes...

each day, before i shut down, whether i've printed or not, i wipe the edge of my capping station with butyl carbitol (a solvent/glycol ether that just will not evaporate ever) and wipe off my wiper. every few days i dump a little solution down the caps/cap for jv33 to really loosen up the...

looks to me like an air leak at the front of the cap, also, i'd check to make sure that head is still installed nice and solid. it might be coming loose at the front and the cap springs pressure is being absorbed. also, the cap springs maybe getting weak. do you have your carriage set to low...

@mustafade it was one of my few math moments. other then that, i'm cutting things the wrong size and cussing.

@se sign supply. so there's a 10% chance that one is dead (i'd bet more like 1%). but even with those odds, i'd rather buy three at $375 for $1125 and be guaranteed at least tow if not three good ones.

you might have a drip of ink inside one of the ports. i'd be very careful. the printer is attempting to protect itself.

yeah the factory coatings on your material is designed to be somewhat "non" stick. you could try to flame treat it with a big propane torch (the kind you melt driveway ice or melt roof tar). that will alter the surface energy. there are many adhesion promoters but i don't they'd succeed in...

on thing about data swaps.... you also need to do a data swap making sure the cable ends and swapped. a basic data swap changes the data to the head. but if the same end of the cable is still in the same port of the print head because the switch was made at the carriage board, then you still...

not sure "what to do" but there are a couple different reasons for over spray all diagnosable by switching this or that. there's head height, and sometimes switching inks, and also some kind of issue where the printer can not print the smaller variable dots. in that case, our test print will...

do a print using non-variable dot. see if there's a difference. ...that does look really bad. usually a single head will do that when it's about to blow. that looks like all the heads are really bad. whatever's causing it, it's not cleaning fluid. that is bad data. when you say the...

@fieldcenter i predict by tomorrow there will be demand for 50 or more dx4's at $375. no telling how many printer there are out there with "iffy" heads that just aren't getting replaced due to high cost. i wish there was some way to package purchases that worked out so that you could get a...

i've busted one of these dx4's to see if gold and diamonds fell out. it didn't look like i could cost more than $50-$75 to manufacture. the worst thing that epson can do is sell them at a reasonable price. my jv3 is still a very very strong tight printer. i'd have no reason to upgrade if...

i'm in. need at least one. who's the supplier? just put in two at $800, and i'm dreading getting the last questionable one replaced.
