  3. KCMY not original in VJ-1304

    I know this is quite common issue and using search function proves that but let me explain... Some time ago i bought this machine for parts from a guy who knew nothing about history of the machine. He let it stand for months, to completely dry out. 2 weeks ago a decided to bring this machine...
  4. Problem with printing black

    Your machine is Rockhopper 1 aka Falcon Outdoor or Rockhopper 38 aka Falcon Junior? I suspect cracked plastic tubing for K channel. Air gets in and ink goes quickly back to cart. I've seen this a couple of times. Or bad seal in K part of capping station in case you have Rockhopper 38.
  5. Spotty Prints... Mutoh VJ1204

    Spotty prints +1 for media: - oily/dirty spots or touched by fingers - ink does not adhere properly
  6. VJ1614 Nozzle check ok / banding in K&C

    Hi everyone, i fight with annoying banding in K and C channels while M + Y is alright. See pictures and compare nozzle check vs. nozzle pattern printed in service mode. Printhead is about 1 year old, used daily printing mild volumes. Cleaning does not help, using I2 interweaving makes things...
  7. Nozzle drop outs on Falcon Outdoor

    Why should an auto mechanic be involved in ink spill bizz?
  8. Nozzle drop outs on Falcon Outdoor

    Well, might be, but why is it happening only when the printer is off? If i leave it on during the day or overnight all nozzles are there. Question for electric gurus: Is there 42V voltage on the heads even when the ones are parked in home position?
  9. Nozzle drop outs on Falcon Outdoor

    Nozzles tend to drop from full to to almost none within few hours on certain color channels (C, Lm, Lc). New heads, dampers (double reseated & retightened nuts to make sure there is no air leak). Ink level in dampers is correct - halfway full. No air bubbles in ink lines. All the oem carts with...
  10. Need Transistors for Mutoh Falcon Jr. Main Board

    Maybe silly question but have you checked the black head fuse?
  11. Need Transistors for Mutoh Falcon Jr. Main Board

    I think the only way is going china: C3746 http://www.satistronics.com/10-pcs-c3746-transistor_p380.html A1469 http://w01.ic-trade.com/eparts/A1469.html Voltage, power etc. is easy to find as datasheets are still available.
  12. I need Mutoh falcon outdoor jr ultra , computer driver

    Maybe he's just looking for a system device driver e.g. windows printer driver which was available for Falcon 4x00/6x00 series a few years ago. It is still possible to find it and download. But there is no current Mac or Windows Vista/7 device support for Falcons as far as i know. RIP and its...
  13. Anybody here using Wincom inks?

    I'm just wandering if anybody else is using Wincom inks and how happy you feel to use it. My recent troubles make me think quite bad: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61980
  14. Falcon 6100 & cyan nozzles dropping

    Recent update: I removed cyan cartridge (wincom), clean the line and primed with mutoh oem and problem is gone. BUT... exactly the same issue now appeared on adjacent channel - light magenta !!!
  15. Falcon 6100 & cyan nozzles dropping

    No luck either. I suspect bad ink (Wincom is in). I've already heard of some bad batch issues. Not very likely but nothing else comes to my mind after all that i've been thru.
  16. Should i buy Mutoh Falcon Outdoor or Not

    If you learn how to use it and take a good care of it, then go for it. It is easy to maintain. Used FO38 (or Rockhopper 38) are sold for 2K USD here in europe. The only drawback is the speed...
  17. Falcon jr lcd readout is gibberish

    Replace the ribbon cable. http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52792
  18. display screen showing wierd letters

    Not sure about VJ (or PrismJet) but good old Falcon shows weird letters and characters when lcd cable is not properly inserted. Mine missed one side contact and it caused to display nothing but UFO messages.

    Ok, i will give it a try. Thanks.
  20. Falcon 6100 & cyan nozzles dropping

    With printheads disconnected from the headboard. There is no other electric contact between head and machine.
