capping station

This capping station station was purchased as a spare for my Oki ColorPainter M-64s. At the time, it was my main printer. I have since sold the printer and no longer need to have a spare. The replacement assembly is expensive new, $3-4000, but if the cheap plastic gear breaks like mine did...

Normally error 1439 pops up when the capping station of the Direct Color Systems 7200z needs replacement, however, the capping station I was printing with popped this error at 2 months instead of its normal 3-4 month life span. I replaced the capping station and the error repeated. I replaced...

Hi Everyone, Just recently our Mimaki CJV150 has not been capping properly. We noticed this last weekend as we had some missing nozzles when we arrived in the office Monday morning. At first I didn't think much of it and just did the usually procedure we do to get them back. None of them come...

Hello all in a bit of trouble with my sp540i. Long story short I starved the MY channels when installing new cartridges and after breaking the manifold nipple when pulling some ink through I got it working again for then the CK channels went bad overnight, got worse and then nothing thereafter...

If black ink is slightly dropping out while printing but the test patterns are perfect would you say it is because of the dampers? How often should I change Roland VP-540 dampers? I just replaced the Wipers and Caps are all new. Here is the pictures of an image I printed in versaworks with...

I sent my Roland VP-540 mainboard in for service but when I got my mainboard back and everything is working now except I can’t figure out why the printer carriage is going to far to the right and is lightly hitting the capping station and making a hitting noise at every pass during printing...

I seem to have lost the pressure between my head and my capping station. Each time I try to suck under the capping station, there is no pressure or suction at all, now my printer has stopped printing completely, should this be happening?

Coming here from Luminous Landscapes. I hear this is where the printing pros hang out. I'm looking for a printer diagnosis based, if possible, from nozzle check patterns. I'm attaching a photo of two from dates one month apart. As you can see, the yellow and LLK are getting worse. These two...

I've got a VP540 that has had very little use as a printer since it was bought in 2008. The dealer I bought it from went out of business, and the dealers here seem to prefer to service machines they sold first, so I've had to teach myself about the maintenance of the printer. My question is...

First post, long-time lurker. I recently purchased a JV3-160SP and the Cyan capping station would not drain. After several nozzle washes, the person I purchased it from told me to remove the capping station top and push solution through the line. I did and it corrected the clogged line. It...

I am currently running a Mutoh Prismjet Extra 48" printer bought from signwarehouse. I attended a training session last week and the printers were left dormant all day friday and the following weekend. I normally have to take some time to recover all nozzles and get a good nozzle check after the...

Hello, We have a Mutoh Valujet 1204. Normally when we replace the waste ink tray, rather than buy a new one each time we clean out the old one and tell the machine that there is a new one in there. When we went to replace the full waste ink tray today we noticed that there was a white sticky...

lately i've noticed a puddle of ink in the black/magenta cap. figured it was just a mild clog. so i went to cleaning the line. but still nothing after a lot of cleaning. i've got a new pump here (from ebon for $45!) but don't want to put it on unless i'm sure the one i've got is dead, rather...

What would make the printer leak all the ink out overnight / with all new cartridges? Is it over capping? Thanks Sean
