  5. Mutoh 1204

    This happened exactly to my Mutoh VJ 1604. The magenta color print better as it travels further from the station. Initially diagnosed as ink starvation.

    I followed Artbot's suggestion. Did a Magenta to Cyan damper swap. So now Cyan nozzle is shooting Magenta and vise versa. Funny, now all prints are fine. No more vertical banding cause from magenta ink-starvation!?!?! But when switched back, Magenta bands again. This rules out pump problem...

    This is exactly happening to my mutoh 1604 the past few weeks. I printed CMYK separately. CYK are okay, only Magenta is having this one sided banding problem. Right side to be precise, looks like ink feeding problem. I cleaned all nozzle and did nozzle check, all nozzle firing okay. Changed...
