printheads

I watched a video where someone appeared to be able to service the printhead from the top of their Epson Stylus Pro 3800 printer instead of having to remove all of the panels and other parts. I was excited to see this was an option because that would cut a lot of steps and risk out of the entire...

I have a Latex 360 issue that keeps on repeating for a while now. Latex ink keeps on building on printheads. Usually it builds on top and bottom of printheads, but it also gets on the sides of the printhead. This is a very thick and hard residue, that can be sracthed away only using stronger...

HP 315 latex 54" printer. I’m having banding issues with my HP 315 It started happening on a few recent prints, I ran cleanings, alignment, test plots, nozzle tests, and color calibrations. All seemed normal. I printed solid CMYK squares and they printed with very little banding. So I...

Hi all I have a Roland SC545ex I purchased with clogged dx4 heads. I cleaned the heads with a sonic cleaner using Branson EC Electronic Solution (circuit card sonic cleaning solution). Although it seems it was a success, the ser. no. was cleaned off. Will versa-works tell me the ser. no. of the...

We all know HP will no longer make inks for the HP Latex 260. I am so angry especially since it is a great printer!! What am I supposed to do with this printer? Use it as a coffee table? Question, I know on eBay you can buy 3rd party inks, but what about 3rd party printheads?

Hello all and happy holidays, Im looking to see if there is any place out there that sells print heads that they take out of machines on trade ins or for any reason at all. What do you guys all do with your heads when you change them out? If it’s something you pitch to the trash I would be more...

OK, being 'cheap' here. Just replaced my HP Designjet 5500 with and HP360. No issues with 5500, just needed an upgrade. Going to sell, inexpensively, but it needs a K printhead and don't want to spend $200 + on a new head. Won't be selling the machine for much more than that, so not worth the...

Hi all, We're in the market for new printers. Trying to upgrade our current fleet after looking at some things at ISA this year. One thing I did not love is that when you're at shows like that, of course each vendor is trying to convince you that their technology is superior to the other...

Strange request, but after deciding not to upgrade my l25500 for a new HP I decided to buy two more l25500's on ebay. Part of the purchase resulted in receiving extra printheads with the machines(expiration dates of 2017&2018) My problem is i have 5 M/LM, 4 Y/K and 1 C,LC Anyone out...

Hello Forum, Long time reader, first time poster. I have 2 Mimaki printers that were purchased almost 18 months apart. The print quality between the two is very close. However, the wear and tear of usage on the first printer is causing the quality to deteriorate and differentiate from the newer...

Hey all, I have two issues with my Soljet XJ-740. Issue 1 First is that the material sensor will not sense the right edge of the material. The Roland XJ-740 will no longer sense the RIGHT edge of the media. It constantly picks the exact same position on the RIGHT side no matter where I put...

Hello, Yesterday I replaced 12 dampers on my Roland SC-545EX for the first time by myself. I took the time and did everything very clean and carefully. When I was ready I did a test print and many of the LightCyan nozzles didn't print. I did a cleaning on the C group and got some nozzles back...

here we go, am new to signs 101, and this is my first thread as well...I own an HP 9000s never had a single problem with it, the print quality has always been sharp and clear. Two days ago when i was doing the daily maintenance I noticed that around the printheads there was some build up of...

To be honest, I wasn't sure if I should include this in a post I just made, but I figured other people might be looking for this same type of thing. I'm looking for a new printer and 90% of my business is printing on rigid substrates - MDO (Vinyl) and Sintra. We do a lot of things that...
