Thank you, I appreciate the idea. I actually did try that I was thinking along the same lines and still no luck. :-/

Man, I am really hoping that the head is not damaged and I am out 700 bucks :-/ I was hoping that it was because it was a new print head.

Thank you all for the help by the way! Here is another photo

Ink is pulling with any cap I have used. I tried an amazon one, an oem, and swapped one from magenta. When it prints it is always the exact same lines that are dropped out.

Man, I hope not. Nothing appears damaged on it. There isn't any marking or anything on it.

They are OEM caps. Originally they weren't, So I bought OEM and nothing changed.

So I have done several powerful cleaning. Tried pulling ink threw and a head soak. And still have the exact same results. Any more ideas on what I can try?

I have tried the syringe and a head soak for a few hours. Maybe a 24hr soak? This is my first machine so I far from an expert. I found it odd that the dropped lines are ALWAYS exactly the same on a test print. So I thought maybe I was missing something.

Man, I stumped. Any suggestions at all out there?

I just replaced all the heads, caps, and dampers on this. But I can not get blue to print correctly. I have changed out the damper again to see if that would help. I tried adjusting the head some. It is always the same tho.. Any ideas?

That was the problem. Just have to figure out the next problem. Why the colors are dropping. Yellow is perfect.

I do. Just waiting on the transistor to arrive. Hopefully, it will resolve everything.

I did I pulled the board yesterday and c4131 is bad.

Ribbon replacement did not correct the problem. It is still popping the fuse on power-up. I also removed the ribbons and put a new fuse in and powered it on and the fuse blew on power-up.

Perhaps the transistor or printhead?

I did not :-/ If changing the ribbons do nothing. What would be my next step? I build my own pcb boards and all. I am just not familiar with these machines. I have the equipment and capabilities to replace anything on the boards. I am just trying to save myself time and money coming to experts...

Thank you for the help! I will give it a try.

They did still fire.

About 6 months ago the printer was working okay. I bought it used and the previous owner told me the heads would need to be replaced soon but it should be fine for the things I do because I would not be using it as much as they did. I did a couple of prints and then it sat for a while. During...
