I just checked and I discovered I have a couple of extra cap top, but it's been so long since I replaced one I forgot how to do it. The old one looks perfect but it's worth a try.

I noticed my yellow started fading and then quit completely. I did a cleaning and noticed the wiper was totally clean so that tells me no ink is getting pumped out of the head while it does the cleaning cycle. Can anyone advise me on the steps to trouble shoot this? I replaced the maintenance...

Thanks for the clarification.

Oh thanks, I did not see that before. I am going to try to increase that and re-calibrate the blade depth.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I believe the overcut adjustment is only available if using the drag blade holder. I am using the tangential holder. I could be wrong but I am not seeing overcut as an available option in the cutter configuration settings. I was normally cutting 2 and 3 Mil...

Any kind of a sharp corner of 30 degrees or less is not cutting through. As I try to peel off the sticker or weed the outside tight corners like that will still be attached and the sticker will tear before it pulls apart.

I am contour cutting some 6 Mil bumper sticker vinyl and the sharp corners are not cutting well. I would like to know if I should be using the 60 degree blade instead of the 36 degree blade, or is there something else I should be looking at? I am using the Tangential blade holder.

Yes, but only during cleaning cycles because of a bad seal or a dead pump.

That's long time without a new station. Besides the automated machine cleanings have you been following the regular maintenance using swabs with solvent and cleaning the wiper and parking seal etc after every use?

In retrospect... after I replaced the head I probably should have just performed a "Flush" which is what happens when you get a new printer. They have cleaning solution in the lines and the flush uses ink to flush the cleaner out of the lines and prime the head with ink. It probably uses about...

Well, last time I replaced my head all the ink siphoned back to the cartridges, so I pulled the tubes off the dampers and used a large syringe to suck the ink back into the lines. It's a bit tricky since it splits into two lines so you must plug the one that's not connected to the syringe. Then...

This might be a dumb question, but a head wash uses a considerable amount of ink as opposed to a simple cleaning. Are you sure your black cartridge wasn't near empty and you just sucked it dry?

As a printer you must know layout and design it's part of your business. For years I have used WYSIWYG web builder. You don't need to know code, and it works just like Flexi or Corel, or any other graphical interface software. You design and layout your pages with the wide range of available...

How could I forget? 9/11 was all about creating a crisis to jam through the unpatriotic Patriot Act which had already been fully written waiting for the crisis necessary to pass it. This essentially destroyed governmental protection of several of our most important God given rights. Bush killed...

My experience is that Alibaba is mainly for bulk commercial purchases, except when it comes to high end items like a two thousand dollar print head, at that price they will sell just one. Aliexpress on the other hand is like the retail version of Alibaba where you can purchase a single item of...

Alibaba is a crap shoot. They present a great price and either very low or free shipping. That is great of nothing goes wrong. If you happen to get the wrong item or a defective item you'll have a heart attack when you see the cost of return shipping. That happened to me with a maintenance...

That will depend on the model printer. What printer are you using? For the 1204, 1304,1604 and 1614, I found these instructions: https://premiercolour.wordpress.com/2014/07/17/instruction-process-for-ink-level-reset-on-mutoh-vj-1204-1304-1604-and-1614/

Wow, what a great idea, thanks.

I was doing a few jobs and I noticed my reds were looking a bit orangie. At first I though I messed up my color management but then I did a nozzle check and discovered an entire section of the two magenta sections was blank. I have experienced nozzles getting clogged or failing but never an...

Yes, me too, same printer. My printer is wasting at least 20% of the ink telling me it's empty when it's not.
