That's what they are set at in the picture. Don't know if they may have reset themselves some how because I don't know how you good have ever gotten decent prints with the heaters being set at least close to where they need to be. In the picture the room temperture is higher than the heater is...

I would do a head soak as I described in post 6 for about a hour then run a cleaning cycle. Make sure you are getting ink flow to the waste lines since you weren't earlier. If you are not getting ink you may need to pull the pump and check all your lines for blockage. This should take care of...

No problem, I have got a lot of help from this forum and like to give it back when I can. I have also been through a lot of what your going through. In fact I have to replace my black print head on my printer tomorrow.

Not sure why the damper would fail at that time. Good be a coincidence. The one print head looks like there is only one nozzle missing on the magenta side of the second head. I think it has something to do with no ink flowing through the waste lines. You could try hooking the syringe directly to...

I would take the line off coming to the damper and use the syringe to draw ink if you get ink then try replacing the damper. If you don't get ink you have a blockage or broken line.

I would check the black damper but you should still be should able to pull some ink from the other colors on that head. How much ink is in the other two dampers on that head? I don't think you could have messed the head up to completely wipe out the black.

Try pulling a suction on the black drain line without the head on the cap station. If you get the same results you have a blockage some where between the cap and the waste tank. If it pulls air you have a problem with the head or damper probably.

The fixer heater is right under the print path and the front heater is in front of the print path. The s on each setting is the temperature setting the r is the actuall temp. We run both of ours at 50. You just want to make sure you don't get to hot or it will make the media buckle and cause a...

The pump lines are not hooked to the capping station. That is why there is no ink in the waste tank. That is why your heads our getting worse. There are two nipples at the front side of each cap that should have a hose coming off the pump.

We run our heaters at 50 for most of our media.

Have you run a cleaning cycle yet? To soak the heads you have to use a lint free cloth on the cap station wet with cleaning solvent. You have to re wet it about every 30 minutes because it will dry out. From what you have said and the test prints you showed the other day you don't need to soak...

You have to replace the entire cap station. I would check with solventinkjet.com. They are merchant members here and have the best prices I have found for the falcon printers.

You need to get one of the new cap stations with the wire mesh to keep the pads from swelling. It sucks when this happens, I come home from vacation last year to the same problem except is sucked all three color cartridge dry two of which were brand new. Haven't had any problems since they added...

Hopefuly this will push to the east some and you will not take a direct hit. Living on the Gulf Coast I feel for you and everyone in the Carolina's and the Eastern coast. You are difinitly doing the right thing by being prepaired for it. Take care and be safe.

I have found that I get the best colors if I send them a jpeg file instead of a ps file. Not sure why but the colors come back vibrant and exactly what I want them to look like.
