maintenance

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has found a good alternative to the liquid gold.... eh, i mean lubrication oil DB2-68 which HP supplies in 10ml doses to lubricate the printhead axis? I must admit i love this oil as its perfect and doesn't drip like chain/sewingmachine oil. Did anyone has found...

Hello! I apologize in advance for how long this post is; I just want to include as much info as may be helpful. SO, I've been an engraver for about 15 years. I also run multiple lasers, screenprint, make photopolymer signs, rubber stamps, etc-basically every single thing but printing. About a...

Hello, This is my first post here! Thanks to everyone for all the helpful information I've found. Ghosting I recently did a head replacement on a VP-540 (it was the black head), and after the replacement, there was some 'ghosting' (that's the only word I can think of that makes sense). I'll...

There are a lot of print maintenance tests and I'm confused as to which ones I should run and when. Is printhead status plot the same as printhead alignment? The manual says that I need at least 24" wide media for printhead status plot and color calibration. I have some 27" roll media (cut in...

I'm not very comfortable performing maintenance on the machine outside what's in the user manual. We're in a rural community 5 hours from the nearest distributor, so having a tech come help with stuff is too expensive. Does anybody have a link to a ho- to video for changing an encoder strip? Or...

Hello, First time posting here, hopefully I'm in the right section. We've had several issues with our Agfa Anapurna M2050 Flatbed Printer on and off since we got it, and usually solve issues but encounter another soon after anyway. I was wondering if anyone knows of a company within the GTA or...

Hello, I'm Greg. I'm new here and I hope I'm posting in the right place. I'm trying to start up a new business. I came across what I thought was a good deal on a second-hand printer (Epson SureColor S50675). The guy who sold it to me told me said it would need some maintenance, possibly...

I wonder if I can ask for some help... HP latex 260. I keep getting this "Maintenance #3 contact support" message and it won't print what the RIP sends. It is waiting to be fixed. I can to a head test print ok. Looks good. The funnel is now clean. The waste bucket is new . The air filter and...

We have a Mutoh 628 X that we purchased a few years back to get our feet "wet" in the digital printing world. (Cut vinyl for years). We are now purchasing a larger machine this week, but want to use the small Mutoh for decals etc. Does anyone know where 1. we can get parts for it and 2. where we...

Apologies for the lengthy post but I know there have been a few posts on the Y Position Error on Graphtec plotters from time to time and I wanted to share this hoping it may help some of you that encounter this problem. I feel your frustration! Good news is, your plotter might just be dirty and...

Hey all - we have a laminating table from CWT that's a pretty heft piece of equipment and are looking for materials regarding maintenance. Not so much an issue as possibly the start of one - the rolling arm of this beast is gradually getting harder to push and pull as well as making more...

Has anyone ever seen this before? Check out the attached picture. The nozzles are stuck ON. Things that have been done so far. 1. Head verified clean and clog free. 2. Both head cables replaced 3. There are no errors on printer 4. Maintenance Station works great. No leak issues or pump issues...

Does anybody know of or can recommend a Mimaki engineer in the Stoke-on-Trent/Staffordshire, West Midlands region. We had some issues with our printer, the tpc-1000 very similar to the cjv30-100, just before the Christmas/holiday season and just before we closed up for new years our test...

Hi guys, My family just started this business on sublimation printing to print sublimated jerseys. They bought the JV33 -160 printer. I am wondering what type of cleaning solution could help the clean the printer head. I am guessing is using Isopropyl alcohol? am i right? because i am having...

Hi I have a Mutoh VJ 1204 and our computer crashed and we lost all of our manuals. Can someone email me a .PDF of the Mutoh Service manual? Also any tips on possibly calibrating media comp would be spectacular! Thanks a bunch!

Hey everyone, coming from a primarily roll to roll solvent printer and a hybrid flatbed owner of two years, it's time to upgrade. I'm in the market for a true flatbed printer and I haven't been able to find a basic piece of info regarding maintenance. It seems to me that there are a general set...
