A rip processes the job and sends it to your printer, so in essence once a job starts printing that will be the soonest timing it can process the next printjob. Send a few of the more complicated/large jobs with lots of detail or data to your rip, then time its processing time and check if any...

I do both, albeit only with quality papers, never tried it on vinyl. But maybe my bit of information can help out: Hotfoil with a windmill is typically applied with a temperature round about 90° Celcius. Hotfoil needs a magnesium or copper stamps and a lot of pressure (you need a windmill or a...

Thanks balstestrat, that explains why im finding some printers that use printheads for 1-2years and found it hard to believe the 1litre rule

Hi all you Latexguru’s, I’m a longtime Epson pigment print user and i was wondering if a 260 Latex: - would be able to print in a resolution approaching an Epson 720x720dpi pigment print for canvas and photo/posterpaper? - would it be a good budget solution even in 2022 (knowing to revert to...

Hi Guys, just wondering how long a printhead lasts? I read 1litres per color, is that correct? Does the type of media or job also influence the printhead lifetime?

Here you'll find a video how to rebuild the cleaning cassette. Didn't try this myself but i thought this might be helpful. HTH T.

If all dampers are full than the head should at least spit some ink, more so when your flush test is pitting cleaninsolution with a syringe. My guess: fuse is broken if no ink flow whatsoever... Thierry

Hi KenMan, Maybe a fuse is broken due to attaching the printhead cables not firmly? if no ink at all is flowing that could be the case? I don't know with Mimaki's but at least with Mutoh's that's most likely the case. if you have a service manual, you can check where this fuse is located and...

HI R2prints, I was wondering if you got your ink problem solved? I have exactly the same issue going on right now. new manifold, other printhead (with decoder card), new dampers/o-rings and still no decent nozzle check printing even if i can flush cleaning fluid fairly good through each ink...

Hi Sean, Again, many thanks for your info. I have included a picture of the current nozzlecheck status (CYM= perfect, K channels: one has maybe 20%, the other more like 70% of it's nozzles; previous owner claims he did a nozzlecheck every week from end of production (october) till beginning of...

Sean/FatCat, I see you also had a VJ-1304. Q: how did you do such a 'flush' while leaving the printhead in-place? I cannot seem to see how hard i'm pressing the syringe when leaving the head parked on the capping station? Also then setting the head in CR maintenance (so placing the head midway)...

hi Sean/FatCat, Thx for your input. No the head is like this since 1,5 months, doing only nozzle cleans each week wasn't enough to keep the head clean it seems. Syringe: yes that i tried but it seems i did it a bit too gentle, since even on perfectly working colors which give 100% fine...

well i think one of the black ink channels' nozzles are ca. 30-40% clogged, i tried soaking the capping top but even after several soaking-nights and power cleans she's still clogged, so i was wondering in how far putting such a cart and printing some feet of pure black would help... Thx FatCat...

maybe you could swap colors and their dampers on the printhead (i mean: put your two magenta ink tubes and their dampers on another color that prints and vice-versa), then see what happens. If the problem follows the change then you know that you have an ink feed problem, if it doesn't it could...

Nobody ever used the Mutoh Eco Solvent Cleaning carts? Grtz, T.

hi all, Since i'm new to VJ's i was windering if there is a procedure to install solvent cleaning carts? Do i need to empty the inklines or simply install the cleaningcarts and do some powercleanings? Ps: i think the cleaningcarts dont have any smartcards with them(sorry they haven't arrived...

Try with a capsure device? This will lrt you read each color patch you print so you can measure exactly your color levels and you will know exactly which channel to adjust? Hth Thierry

Hi VanderJ, Yes, read that too: any head more recent than 2012. But: R800's and R1800 are from before this period? Grtz, T. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Sean/FatCat, Thx for your input. yes indeed, i have a hard time figuring this out. It would be a good idea to build some sort of list for known print heads that do work? As far as i can see in this forum removed heads from Epson R2000's and Epson 9800's seem to work just fine (off course...

As far as i can figure out the R800 has a DX5 printhead with reference F152000. Anyone any experience with these heads on a wide printer? Thx, Thierry
