i've bought twice from ebon. the shipping was a bit high, so load up like crazy on the low priced parts when you do order. anny speaks/types excellent english, so the language factor isn't too bad at all. in fact, i'm needing some experimental parts (only about $20 worth, i'd be willing to...

if the printer has been sitting for a while not doing routine cycles, the ink in the cap may have leached over to the damper... so i'd just pull the damper to see if it has color contamination. i know this is frustrating. and broken printers can usually get worse as they sit idle and dry and...

first have you isolated it to a single color or a single head? and when you do a cleaning cycle, what do your caps look like? two latent colors as they should be, dry, only one color, overly wet with ink, filled with ink, also pull off the cap top and look under it. is it very wet with ink or...

the white sticky is most likely moisture entrapped thus fogging and coagulating with the resins in the ink. ....have i seen this before in a printer? no. but i've seen it in stored polyesters, epoxies, etc.

so, it's every color dropping out equally? you can diagnose bad cap seals by damper swaps (if some colors work while others don't). or... to judge if the cap isn't sealing to the head, pull the cap tube off running to the pump and pull some ink, observe if you get bubbles running down the line...

if you swapped a non printing yellow damper/line to a printing magenta damper/line. and the magenta line would not print at the yellow position, but the yellow started printing at the magenta position. and your cap shares yellow/magenta (which i believe it does). and you switched heads to the...

the fade/starvation... is it universal? put together a file: a square of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. to see which actual color/s is dropping. also, do a damper swap with failing colors over to print head positions that are not failing. that will tell you if the issue remains at the...

i have a jv3 160sp and to me it looks like a machine, if maintained properly would last forever. as far as the rip, i'm sure insignia is right about the perfect rip. but the jv3 should come with rasterlink, it gets a bad rap by most. but if on a budget and investing as you go, i'd work with...

sepiax aren't latex. as far as conversions.... there are youtube videos of a guy using a halogen light, i'd go with silicone heating blankets for pre and post for printers without heat. also there's an entire critique of the ink available through largformatprinters.org i'm going experiment...

in my experience, when you replace the data cables, and boot, get nothing, first beware. turn it off immediately. don't keep retrying. that is a sign of serious damage being done. double check to make sure your cables are sorted in the right order, and set the right direction, and seated...

if you pull the head when doing the syringe clean, you can view the bottom of it while gently pushing the fluid through it. thus allowing for you to monitor any progress. also, you can get a loop and view the actual tiny holes that are causing the bad test print.... to see if something is...

yes, filling up from the menu, rather than manually with a syringe. well, when you are getting air, you are pulling way harder than the pump is able to pull, thus producing the air. i'd say that you have an air leak. but an air leak will also let the ink drift back toward the cartridges...

when you say, not filling up correctly... are you filling the dampers with syringe, or via the pump/ink fill? it's difficult to isolate on your machine because of the metal tubing. if you can somehow, you need to plug that light magenta damper/inkline into a functioning color position to see...

as an artist, i'd bet ansel adams is perturbed from the grave. artists have thousands of "rejects", studies, test pieces, sketches that all don't make the cut as a piece worth producing. now it looks like these negatives that ansel himself deemed as not up to par will be sold as "lost...

@steath ryder.... 42 years old, incorporated since 20, self employed entire life since 12 years old (doing what i do today). i'm not old or young. but i can say "i've been working here for 30 years...." heh heh heh... goo goo ga ga...

kid? i'm almost 43.

none of these printers actually have high performance tubing on them. factory tubing is standard grade tubing. because the solvent resistance needed is so low. we aren't printing dichloromethane here. sorry if i offended.

a tube is a tube, and a damper is a damper.
