  3. Broken card reader circuit inside Mutoh 1204

    Hello, I have read error when I insert a Magenta ink cart in my Mutoh 1204.

    The printer was turned off when I replaced the maintenance station but I did not unplug the cord. I have a second printer, I will try to switch the main board between them to see if it makes a difference.

  10. 1 black nozzle missing, nozzle check Mutoh 1204, damper empty

    I bought it from SignWarehouse.com and yes I did contacted them but it's impossible to talk to them on the phone, you always get a dispatcher on the line. They opened a ticket, asked me to send pictures, I did and now I'm just waiting for one of their tech to call me back. Does anybody know how...

    The printer is about 6 months old. I just noticed that when I do a cleaning or a little charge nothing go in the waste tray. I can hear the noise of the maintenance station but it looks like it's not pumping any ink. Is it the pump? the seal? or should I just replace the maintenance station...

  16. Mutoh 1204 horizontal banding / bad nozzle check

    Yes, the SW support tech told me that, however I think it's hypocritical since SW is also selling 3rd party ink for the ValueJet called EnduraInk... So it's fine to use 3rd party ink as long as you buy from them. Also it is illegal under U.S. Federal antitrust laws. Manufacturers are legally...

    Signwarehouse finally called me back, they told me that I need to replace the maintenance station, that I can buy the part from them for $600 and that it's not covered by the warranty because they said I did not maintain my printer properly based on the pictures I sent them. I would not...
