printhead

Was printing like normal today, media loaded, media clamps installed, and something very weird happened. The print heads crashed into the media clamps. My only guess is that somehow the semi rigid media (thick-ISH paper) pushed the clamps up into the print heads and they collided. It crashed...

I need help from you wonderful guys! My Galaxy printer (UD161LC) is about 6months old and has been printing excellently well until recently. Actually I didn't know how to set the "Auto cleaning" until the problems arrived as the printhead began to overspray. In other to correct this problem, I...

Hello, we have a ecosolvent printer Oce CS 9160 and we are thinking of buying a new printhead. The problem is that when I looked online for a oce CS9160 printhead, I can't find one ! When the machine starts, it says MUTOH Valuejet 1614, so I suppose the head is DX5 (at least it looks like). I...

Anyone know how to get the Printhead usage, hours/minutes. I am using Omega 2.0 and there is nothing on the web page for my FX that has anything with printhead. Thanks for any help.

Not sure where to go with this and Grimco is a bit slow responding. This pic is on Avery 1005 but it happens on all vinyl medias. (Only really see it on dark heavy coverage though) We have: Replaced all printheads Increased vacume in profile Increased heat Tried other profiles Printhead...

WOuld like to know if the print head should be in the down position when placing the printer into sleep mode. I know it will go through cleaning cycles during the night, but my concern is the print head drying in the upward position. I always turn the printer off when finished at the end of the...

So our aging L25500 has decided to start having some gremlins and I didn't know if anyone had some suggestions to hold us over till we spring for a new printer. Essentially what happens is after the printer sits for a length of time, say overnight, a variable amount of PH#3 will decide to not...

I've got an issue with my Y printhead (assuming its the damper in the head), I've tried soaking it for a couple hours in NMP fluid and my Y ink is still dropping out. It started with Air in the Y line, replaced multiple "o"rings and have finally got the line sealed up and still having issues...

Hi everyone. You will probably think I'm a bit weird because I'm using the L26500 just for a bit of a hobby rather than a serious business. Mainly because it came up at an ok price and I took a gamble that it would work ok. I replaced a couple of printheads to get the machine working when I...

Hey guys, I was hoping to gather some insight and get some advice on exactly what I should look for before purchasing a used solvent printer. I first got into the sign making industry to create my own custom signage for my food concession business. I started with and still have only a cutter...

Hey everyone, We have a used L25500 that we've been using for a short while and had a couple of questions: 1) How do you know when a printhead needs to be replaced? The status is listed as "OK" for all printheads, but we've been getting some inconsistent prints lately (i.e. colors not printing...

Hi folks, I had an engineer replace the cyan head as it was banding. In the process he showed me the cable connecting to the head one of the end pins was bent. He said it wont be an issue though and continued the process. The head was in and firing perfect for about 10metres. Then Group A...

Hi Folks, I have had this fault for quite a while now. It was only really noticeable on particular shades of blue but now it is over the fill range of colours and greys. It's as if the printhead isnt putting out enough of ink. It tends to happen on equal intervals such as 6.5cm apart. When it...

Right folks, I've been a silly boy, Wasnt 4 using machine for a week or so, so cleaned printhead and then left it sitting in solvent cleaner for 2 days. Ended up there was a tilt where it was sitting and have solvent cleaner into the data connections. Sprayed with electrical contact cleaner...

I did notice that some people mix their own has anyone done this? I can make a purchase request for actual printhead cleaner but I was wondering if we could make our own.

Hello everyone, need help with a strange issue I can't seem to diagnose. I have a Roland SP-300v Versacamm. Our blue and black print head stopped working so we did diagnostics. After many tests of continuity on ribbons and syringing for clogs, we finally figured out it was a motherboard...

Hi Folks, I've just added a split brand new dx7 printhead and set of data cables to my printer. It prints great though I initially noticed the magenta and yellow lines as if just firing up. I've added images if anyone knows or has any idea on how to solve the problem. I had heard about coded...

Hi Guys I recently purchased a used Mimaki JV3-160SP and have it working well apart from a few issues. The main one is when printing black text with a white background I get a yellow edge to the right of the black print ? I have aligned the printheads to the best of my ability and after...
