The RIP will override the printer settings. So make sure the RIP is set up for Overwrite Cnt You will want an Overwrite Wait to allow the ink time to dry before putting down the second pass. 0.5 sec is a good place to start. Your actual time will vary depending on media and environmental...

If head soaks are getting you any more nozzles: Are you getting ink into the waste tank when you are cleaning? If not, you may need a new maintenance station. If yes, you may need a new head.

You should be able to get firmware for your version at www.mutoh.be

These inks are 2 years from date of manufacture. So yours have not expired. The issue over time is settling, so they all should be "gently shaken" before use. These are all degassed and sealed, so there should be no air issues. If you are going to stock carts for long periods of times...

Hoping this isnt over the line, but I think it defines it best. http://www.despair.com/government.html

:ROFLMAO: It is all about politics.

dampers are fairly cheap and should be replaced periodically, every 18 months or so. They most likely should get changed whenever you change a head. The dampers may not be leaking, they may be plugging up. If you have changed the head 3 times, the seal between the damper may be compromized.

How long since the dampers were changed? If it comes and goes, probably dampers or air leak.

As mentioned, there are flag sensors to detect the tab that sticks out of the cartridge when the cartridge is empty. Check to see that the flag does pop out when the cartidge is empty. If not, then it is a problem with the cartridges. If the flag does pop out, there could be issues with...

There is probably always room for improvement in profiles. A profile is a calibration between a particular printer and media (in a particular environment). So the printer used for the profile wasnt yours, even if it was the same model (there are variances, even as the printer ages), the...

We have 'scored' magnets and then broke them out. Slow the cutter way down, acceleration way down, and increase the presure. Stay with fairly small sheets as it is easy for the material to 'drift' during scoring because of the weight. The thinner mag material is easier.

Probably once it is rasterized it is printing rich black (+CMY) and filling in.

I would expect cables to give you the error at boot, sounds like head.

There are basically two reason nozzles get misdirected. 1. Ink drying on the nozzle opening, in which case it may take some extended soaking to soften up enough for the wiper to remove. 2. Damaged nozzle openings. You can see in the photo that some black nozzles are not lined up in the...

Looks like misdirected nozzles. See if head soak helps.

What does your nozzle check look like?

Often times there is too much light for the paper sensor to read correctly. You can try to put a shade or cover over the printer to test this out.

While it is possible you may have some issue with the ink delivery system for these two colors, these are the most used inks typically, of course, depending on what you are printing.
