doesn't that printer have a designated black print head, how many dampers feed the black? if you let the damper hang, unplugged in to the head adapter, how long does it take before the ink recedes? first take the damper off and make sure the o-ring is seated straight in the brass fitting...

switched to triangle a month ago. the ink dries a little slower than SS2 and the smell is a bit stronger. that said, i think it will be less troublesome in the machine as far as maintenance goes. when you clean the heads at the cleaning station, i've noticed less pronounced "cap rings" from...

with all this discussion of how long these inks last outdoors, is there every any data on indoor longevity? i've switched from archival dye with my work to triangle and am sending out projects without any idea of what kind lifespan these pigments have.

solventinkonline.com has some really cheap non-chip clear cartridges that are good for cleaning solution. you can also put your oem chip on a clear cartridges with the knockout for a chip if you want to bypass some colors and just run clear. the machine will be none the wiser. if you're just...

hmmm... at first glance, that does look like a vacuum related missing nozzle check. vacuum related ones have very big cleaned out areas, surrounded but pristine nozzles. have you had the chance to push the heads over to the maintenance station and with a flash light look at the bottom of the...

can you cut off the test draw and scan it so it will be in perfect focus? it's very important to see almost microscopically what the test draw looks like in order to tell what and how bad it is. ...if you have bad caps they might be leaking air in the middle and not drawing ink into the...

is that the generation that uses dx2's? if so here's a pump rebuild tutorial. might be very similar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrKUsYMXjdQ

yes, you need to pull ink into the damper so that it fills at least passed the screen. here is a video i found that will illustrate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cySWf9E6V4 and ink fill cycle made from the printers panel should be able to pull ink all the way from the cartridges to the...

i'd wait just a minute. that machine is a bit different than most. in that machine you've got some limitations for damper swapping. doesn't it have the metal damper tubes? in that you've got just two caps. and from the one cap you are getting M and C but no Y... it seems that the cap is...

shipping can be a mixed bag. i got my parts in 3 days for $100. i thought it was a bit high. recently on the mimaki/yahoo forum, adam yang of INKMED INKJET TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. mentioned that he's set up to ship to the USA every week and parcels under one kg are $32! i have an ebon catalog...

$67!!!! holy crap, around damper are like paper towels! i started a thread to discuss reputable chinese suppliers. but it was closed because it would attract too many actual suppliers. the discussion of reputability should between customers only. maybe there's a better way of discussing it...

hey miguelon! saying howdy from houston texas.

boo! maybe it's late. i've seen at least five or six supplier vouched for but didn't write the name down. so give this thread some time! the ebon company is searchable under BONJET OR E-BON. both the same company. also, has anyone dealt with Shenzhen Brightness Electronics Technology...

you need to start an isolation protocol. in order to fix it do each thing methodically and you will end up with a short list of possibilities. we need to know the model/machine and the inkset you are using. it will tell us the capping station color order. such as KKMMCCYY, or KMCYlmlc, or...

started a new thread. in digital printing. (i was considering special color for one particular part.)

This thread is for posting aftermarket suppliers (most likely Chinese or other Asian countries) that are trustworthy. please, if possible, list the supplier, type of parts you ordered, the contact name, and the language in with which you communicated. to start the list, i ordered a whole box...

we should put together a list of chinese suppliers that we have had good experiences with. i've bought from ebon (no problems at all).. i know inkmed has a great rep'... maybe a new thread should be started for this one though.

???? i'm seeing dx4 heads as low as $580 from china. i think parts in a bit will go the way the other outdated printers. you can buy a dx2 head for around $100 now. these heads are priced at what the market will bear. and used printers are owned by shallower pockets, and a dollar is a...

congratulations! did the head dry out while waiting for the tech? keep us posted.
