You should be able to recover the head with a soak and a few cleanings. I would double check the the maintenance station is't clogged first to be sure that it can pull the ink down through the head properly. Changing the damper may help but it is probably going to be a maintenance station issue...

Max is 21pl and min is 1.5pl not sure what increment they go in between.

Take the right side cover off and you should see a gear that the motor and drive belt connect to. The gear will have a wider part and a thinner part. Sometimes on the 7000s the thinner part of the gear broke from the wider part and would cause the gear to spin out when the motor tried to move...

The fact that it broke off it very concerning as it should never be close enough to something to actually break. I would do a good inspection of the head area with the covers off and try to see what it might of hit and if there is any more damage. The tab just holds the sticker but if it hit...

It could be as simple as the cap trying out when it was off for 3 days. Wet the cap top with some cleaning solution to help it seal better and try another cleaning. When no ink comes through the maintenance station there is either a clog or the cap top is not sealing with the head properly.

You want to figure out if ink is flowing through first, then you can have a better understanding of what is going on. First check the ink line and dampers. The ink lines should have no air bubbles in them and the dampers should be about half full give or take. If everything looks good, you need...

The ink possibly made it to the cable but the sponge should have caught it. When you changed the cap top make sure you put the blue rubber stopper on the third hole under the cap top. The cap should have 2 clear tubes connected to it going to the pump and then the third hole should be plugged...

I am willing to bet your encoder strip looks "cloudy' and not clear. I've seen it a million times and a new encoder strip always fixes the issue.

The drop position correct alignment in the service mode allows you to select the motor speed and resolution to align. You can go through and align each mode and that will set a base line for the user mode drop position correct. Once the service mode alignments are done, run the user alignment...

A data swap will isolate weather the problem is coming from deeper in the machine or the print head itself. What you do is keep the head cables plugged in on the slider board but disconnect them from the magenta and yellow heads and swap them. This makes it so that the magenta head is actually...

You may have bumped or loosened the magenta head cable when you were putting the cyan head in. I would start by re-seating the magenta head cables and see what happens. While you're in there, check for any ink or debris that may have gotten on the print head, cables, and/or terminals. Other than...

The circle part of the dampers should be half full. Running a simple cleaning cycle should get rid of the contamination. If it doesn't get any better after a cleaning usually it's a bad damper, cap top, or pump. Take a look at the bottom of the head. Does it look really dirty or have any ink...

Make sure the waste tubes are not submerged in the ink in the waste bottle. It can cause a siphon effect that can cause the contamination. Did the contamination come back right away after you changed those parts or did it take a while to come back?

At Solventinkjet.com we stock a mix of OEM and after market parts. The main reason is that some after market parts are not up to par with the OEM. We test all of our parts and do not sell them if they do not perform. We don't just sell parts but our techs also use the parts on machines in the...

Double check that your default profile isn't some type of paper. When you use a paper profile instead of a vinyl profile in Versaworks it prevents you from cutting because paper doesn't have a backer like vinyl does.

You are correct. For the most part when you run this alignment you will notice that every other pattern has the same, or close to the same, value. If they are extremely different, something is either wrong or the distance between the head and media is inconsistent(buckling). They just do eight...

Uninstall then re-install the Mimaki USB driver (get the latest one on Mimaki's website). Clean up space on your hard drive and if that doesn't work, try using a different USB port on your computer and then a new cable. If that doesn't work, you could have a dmaged USB port on the printer or...

The drop pos. correct patterns are related to the nozzles and not the resolutions. When an ink drop leaves the head while printing bi-directional, it is going to be moving in the direction that the head is. This means that when the print head is moving to the right, the firing timing will be...

You essentially reset the machine back to factory default and it thinks you are turning the machine on for the first time. There is a way to trick the machine back into thinking it is not new but unfortunately I cannot remember off the top of my head and we just sold our demo machine and can't...

You should be able to just send the print job to the 640 and then after lam, send the cut job to the 540. What software are you using?
