This maybe a damaged head release which is easily bent back. Or maybe a faulty axis motor. I would be also checking all the sensors to see they are reading material and position. Also I would be looking for something simple other than the mainboard, Panel Unit and power supply. In my experience...

My question would be, was the head cable changed when the print head was fitted? Also a slight drop of ink into the head cable plug would cause a short. And maybe lastly you were just unlucky. I have found that the Mutoh Valuejets like all solvent printers thrive on being used a lot. If this is...

If the machine has been left for a long time and did not have the cleaning cartridges left in the head is clogged and is unserviceable. Fit a new print head, head cable and complete maintenance and provided it was running prior to the machine being last used this should get you up and printing...

I am struggling to understand. If I remember you can plug any cleaning cartridge into any slot they are not colour defined. If the cartridge is not being read the reason maybe that the chip on the cartridge is broken. In my opinion the only reason to use the cleaning cartridges is to flush the...

Sounds like the F2 fuse on the board has blown. This will need replaced and probably a new print head and cable also. Just remember that fuses only blow for a reason and are a protection for the motherboard. SC

Thank You so much SC

This can be a whole load of things. But with the yellow dropping out I would suspect a leak/crack from the manifold as these get brittle over time and can snap causing the ink to leak back during print even though it pulls ink through. As for the thin line on the black it could be just a...

I guess either vance got this fixed or he is running around like a headless chicken. How did you get on? SC

It looks like Bodini Bold but it isn't. Cheers SC

OMG I didn't realise where this person was!!! I can be over there by tea time today, with a head and a cable but to be honest I think it has blown a lot more! I guess Samurai_Screwdriver is running around like a headless chicken! I just hope he has took my advise and farmed the job out. SC

Maybe, is the answer to your question! I re-read your post but no where does it state exactly what make and model your machine is. So what make and model of machine do you have? I believe that earlier DX5 print heads are interchangeable with other machines but the later ones are coded and...

This is a number of easily fixed problems or one expensive one. 1. Head cable swap with new OEM ones. 2. Ink contaminant on the ribbon cable or on the print head circuit and cable socket remove print head and clean thouroughly. 3. Slider Board, Swap cables to check that your problem remains...

Hi Image Print. I think you will find the card readers inside the machine are damaged with sliding in and out cartridges. I have had to change them all twice on my 1604! Here is a link to the supplier I get them from:- http://www.digiprint-supplies.com/rj-8000-ink-id-board-assy-my-35048.html SC

I would hope a print head would last longer than 14 months! Unless it runs 24-7. Always a good idea to change the cable when fitting a new print head. SC

When did the machine last have a print head and cable fitted? That looks to me as if the head cable is failing or the print head is failing or maybe both. SC

The price is unbelievable and it probably will be! I like the wording "Packaging should be the same as what is found in a retail store"....LOL I know not of any retail that sells DX5 print heads! AVOID SC

Interesting! I am not so sure whether the extra weight of this device may cause extra wear on carriage bearing, motors and pulleys. Also I am not too sure that fitting this device will maybe cause air leaks in the lines as the one sure way to make sure of no leaks is not to have any joins...

The fuse on the main board is very very small and a pain to replace it may have blown and is only showing it is working due to a return circuit. But realise that the fuse has blown for a reason and it is there to protect the main board so something is not right. You probably have a faulty head...

I have noticed a fault which I have no idea whether it is a RIP problem or a machine issue. These GB stickers were stacked up to my printer with a 0.03mm gap. Yet when it prints them out the gap can vary up to about 1mm. The issue is if you reset the job the gap is always spaced out differently...

Hi I tried a double pass test print last night laminated it and it is now on our side window. Looks the business :) Thanks All SC
