Falcon Outdoor 48 printing on one head it seems

fixed yet?

did you get your problem fixed? I have a manual if you want it. I have the same problem on my falcon outdoor, I let is sit unused for a couple of months and now one of my heads won't print anything.

The syringe thing usally works great for me. I'll walk you through that if you would like.

Have you done a headwash cycle? If you have and had no joy, try soaking the head in wash solution, you can do this by doing the following:

1) manually move the carriage away from the capping assembly

2) squirt wash solution into the cap unit until it is about to overflow

3) quickly return the carriage back to home position before the solution has flowed down into the waste ink tube.

4) let head soak for a few hours, the longer the better, then do a powerful clean, repeat as required.


If a nozzle(s) appear permanently blocked, you can flush the head manually by using a syringe as a last resort:

1) fill the syringe with wash solution,

2) connect a suitably sized plastic or rubber tube between the syringe and the printhead nipple,

2) gently squirt the solution through the head until all the nozzles are cleared, hopefully.

 

This actually works...

 

About every 15-30 minutes I would add more cleaning solution.
If the problem is the capping station and its seal against the head, the cleaning solution could drain and dry out.

I do the same thing when doing a head soak with a cloth.
