There is an ink flush feature, but you need the service software to access it. The only flush you can do without it is on the white/silver channel. With the software, you can do a full flush on all colours, don't even need the cleaning cart for it.

We don't use Onyx, we use Colorgate for our rip. Used Onyx in the past, Colorgate is a better rip. I have 5 printers running off the same rip with no issues.

Only time I ever see this is with nozzle outs. Do a good manual clean, and double check that there is nothing that might be nicking the cyan or yellow area. I've had it where there was a small hair on media guide causing the issue, or something on the pre-spray pad. Nozzle check might look...

Has anyone come across this before, I have 3 S80600's, and for some reason 2 of them when I print stock that is inside print the machine will feed out like 5 to 6 feet of material and then just stop with an out of stock error. Doesn't happen on my other one, and it only happens on stock that is...

Last time I had something like this happen it was a problem with the damper. It is something easy enough to replace, and wont break the bank. If you have access to the service program, you can try an ink purge, can't remember the exact wording, but it will run a cycle across all head and push a...

I use both 18pass and 32pass, depending on what I'm printing. I always use High Contrast White when printing with white.

I've seen this on mine, I have this happen when ink makes it way up along the side of the print head, small seam along the outside of the head. Take a swab and place it in the area where you are missing nozzles, and hold it there. If there's ink build up, it will be drawn out by the swab. Might...

How you save files makes a big difference, but also the rip you're using. The rip, if its a cheap one, will not render gradients properly. Check your rip, there are sometimes extra settings that help with gradients.

I had this too when replacing someones head, after replacing the main board got a new error. Don't remember the exact wording of the error, but it has to do with the front heater. Now waiting on replacement sub-board to correct that problem.

I have .5" gap, and mine is controlled by my rip.

If your pre-heat is too high for that type of media, and roller pressure is high as well, then it would cause this. Don't run pre-heat higher then 30, I run it off for some of my media's. Give that a try.

I've used these guys for some parts, good price.https://www.primeparts.ca/epson.html

If it's under warranty, there's no problem, but all 3 of mine are off warranty and we have no local techs to work on them, so I got the service tool and manuals and have a supplier that will order me the parts I need and do the work myself. Most of the things you might need to replace/repair are...

All custom profiles. Never trust generic profiles, plus the rip I use encourages you to make your own.

If you see issues with nozzles missing and they keep moving around, it's most likely something either on the capping station or the wiper that is moving a small hair or fluff. Do a thorough clean of all parts. Also make sure your platen is clean. Ink might be there, but dust and fine debris...

Ink starvation, didn't matter how much bright or dark the image was, machine never would keep up ink supply. Plus, the white channel was hit and miss. Sometimes it printed, most times 90% of nozzles were missing. I don't miss that machine.

We had an LED 1600 several years ago, worst printer I've ever used. Fought with Fuji for almost 2 years telling them the machine was a lemon, I would suggest telling them to take it back and refund your money. We switched over to Epson solvent printers, now have 3 running almost all day every...

This can happen at the start of a roll, or every foot. No consistency in where it's happening, happens on think vinyl and thicker banner stocks.

I never liked the rip that came with mine, we use ColorGate for our rip and the colours we get is insane even using cmyk. Plus I made my own profiles using i1 tool, that could also help. If you can replace the software and make custom profile.

I have 2 S80600 and both now seem to love getting head strikes. The media will ripple along the length of the media so when the print carriage travels I get strikes. Ran a long time with the same settings with zero issues, then it just started out of no where. Had Epson in to look at it and...
