When the head was replaced was a new head cable fitted? If not I would probably suspect the cable but print heads can throw some dangerous errors. The big issue is that if their is a fault with the head it could damage the main board. Maybe a good idea to get a new head, flush the old one and...

I would be changing the head also if I was you. How old is the head? SC

Head Cable and possibly Print head. Ink contaminates the cable and circuitry of the head and causes shorts. SC

Our Valuejet did exactly the same as yours about 2 years ago. Changed F2 fuse replaced print head and printhead cable (use an original Mutoh cable) and has ran sweet ever since. It is probably shutting down as it can sense their is something else wrong. Remember fuses are there as a protection...

As I am in the UK I used Digiprint supplies who are in Belgium. But if you look on their website they do have a supplier in the US http://www.digiprint-supplies.com SC

See my previous thread:- http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?59169-VJ1604-E071-error-code The fix is fit a new encoder disk and their is an update for a white plastic insert that fits into the shaft that holds the encoder disc assembly. This plastic insert keeps the disc central to...

Surely it is some sort of standard ethernet socket? It is definitlety a faulty part in the socket and their is nothing wrong with the board. I can't believe you would have to replace the main board for a simple component and one that wears out so easily! It's like having to change your car...

I understand it is on the board as I have had it out to replace the F2 fuse before. Do you know what Ethernet socket needs to be used and where can I buy one? Thanks SC

I guess I am asking..... Has anyone ever replaced the Ethernet port on a Valuejet? If so what and where do I buy? SC

I have had an issue with our valuejet 1604 disconnecting of the network. I thought I had traced this to a suspect ethernet cable. I had the network cable taped up against the power cables supporting it. Last week we had the print room re-floored and had everything disconnected. This was a good...

For starters change the complete maintenance station for new, even a non original one is fine as it is pointless trying to clean it as it works hard and is key to long print head life. In fact my last two maintenance stations have not been original items and have lasted longer than the originals...

I have found also that some RIPs heat setting are too high for some banner material. Turn the heat settings down in the RIP and run at high head height. SC

I haven't looked on my vehicle outline but I reckon the rear panel is probably too wide for your average printer to print as one piece vertically. I only print horizontally vehicle wraps if it leaves unsightly joins mid panel. This is a pet hate of mine and maybe I am being picky but I have seen...

So if I read this right as long as their is a rank number in the machine their is no need to change it? SC

Replace the maintenance station. This has to be the first thing you do. Also make sure around the print head is clean as dried ink and debris can affect the seal. By the looks it is not sealing properly or the head is touching something in the cap and is wicking. This causes the inks to mix...

I agree that is probably how I would be laying this wrap. It is typical of a lot of commercial vehicles that really their are no level straights on the vehicle and no line is parralel to the previous! SC

I have read your post three times now and think I can roughly work out what your saying. Could you post a picture of the nozzle test? You can reset the lifetimes for the pump, head and maintenance station in the service menus but I do not think this is part of your problem. But maybe a good...

As far as I am aware the rank number is just too fine tune the head, or it could be something more. An error 7 message can mean an expired head. Have you swapped out with a diffent head just to check it is not the cables or slider board? SC

Ivan I think you are going to have to contact your customer and explain the issues. Also stating that greys printed on any CMYK printer can shift due to the lighting used. In our print room which has daylight fluorescent tube lighting it seems to show a lot more green but when taken into the...

That is awful it looks like it has been set on fire or been parked in the dessert under a magnifying glass. I hope the customer realises the paintwork underneath is going to be trashed also. I personally would send it to a paint shop and have it resprayed, even then I reckon they wouldn't touch...
