I'd probably run an air purge. If the nozzles are 100%, it must be an ink flow issues and air purge is a good place to start. It could still be a worn out head as well but you want to rule out all possibilities first!

How does your nozzle check look? Missing any nozzles?

This is how I entered the sign industry. Went to the head professor of graphic design at my school looking for an internship. He sent my info to a sign shop in town and they ended up hiring me FT.

Technically it should work. The two main differences between the machines is the firmware adds a faster motor speed and the dampers have been changed to keep up with the stronger ink flow required for the faster speed. All other parts are the same. Maybe your 1614 board is damaged too? You could...

If ink is flowing and the same nozzles don't fire, usually that means they are clogged or damaged unfortunately.

When you pull with a syringe from the Cyan cap while the head is capped, does ink flow into the syringe?

It will be fine. Check your accessories for a yellow piece of metal. That is the official head lock and it screws into the Y Bar next to the head so it holds it on the capping station. If you don't have that, tape a piece of foam down to the platen and butt it up against the head carriage. That...

There's nothing inherently wrong with after market parts as long as you trust your supplier to choose the best quality ones. Some after market parts simply don't work but any supplier worth their salt will test them before releasing them into the field. As for where they are getting their parts...

The palette in the printer is more of a test print to make sure nozzles are firing correctly etc. It's not meant as a color matching tool. It also doesn't print with color correction which would be why it looks so different to anything you print out of Flexi.

I agree with above. Also, flush the tubes from the cap top through the pump. It's possible they are partially clogged and creating a siphon effect once you turn it off.

The fuses you're looking for are the 1.6 amp fuses on the main board. We have them here.

I'll be installing one next week as well. The screenshot looks pretty much like 6 but I hear the RIP engine has been upgraded to RIP faster. Been waiting to see if it's true!

Take a look in the settings of FineCut for a check box simply called, "Sort." If you turn it on, it will override the order you designed in and optimize it for quicker cuts!

That's a scam site. We stock them here in the US and you can talk to us over the phone. Right now I have the original head straight from Mimaki USA for $1895 which is $1020 off list price. If you want to save even more, we also carry the head without the head memory board and you just used the...

They also have custom spot colors added as well such as brown and green. At least on the Mutoh version anyway.

Sounds like the cap top or pump might be bad. If you got 3rd party cap tops, I would start by trying OEM. I've used tons of 3rd party dx4 caps and none of them worked as well as the OEM for whatever reason. If the caps are OEM, I would try flushing the pump tubes with cleaning solution. Make...

Usually when transparencies do this in a file it's because the rendering intents are conflicting. A lot of RIPs default to rendering a vector and bitmap with different rendering intents. If your bitmap is above a vector background or something like that, that's probably the case. You can fix it...

Buy the parts from us and we'll talk to you over the phone if you get stuck or have any questions. The SP series is one of the easiest machines to work on. As long as you unplug the machine and wait 5 minutes before working on it, there isn't much damage you can do that can't be reversed. Also...

Swap the yellow and black damper positions, run a cleaning cycle, and then print another nozzle test. This will give you more information on where the problem is. For example, if the yellow prints in the black position and the black won't print in the yellow position still, the head most likely...

Depending on the resolution, passes, dithering method, variable dot or not, and rendering intent, different profiles will require more or less processing. Your banner profile is probably low resolution, low pass count, non-variable dot which is much faster to process.
