Question HP L25500 Maintenance Kit 2

[DERI]

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for reading this post in advance and hope you can guide a newbie kindly with some help.

Can someone tell me how long can I keep using my printer(HP l25500) after a maintenance kit 2 has popped up? I bought this printer using all the money I had and now I have to source all these parts and also an engineer. Also does anyone know of a good technician who is willing to fly out of the country( to the caribbean) to replace the worn out parts? for a good price of course. You will be well taken care of
Thanks & Regards,
Deri

Go here for information on that kit: HP Designjet L25500 – Service Maintenance Kits – John E Wright Technical

Do you have a Service Manual or any basic technical skills? You can order all the parts and perform the service yourself if you are confident enough to try it, it's really not difficult. Let me know if you need the Service Manual, it can be time consuming to follow it but it is essential to tell you things you would never know about otherwise.

how long you can continue to operate after the maintenance message shows is entirely dependent how how much you are printing.

Thanks Josh. I appreciate your help!

Thanks for the Response. I normally do around 3 hours use with the machine a day. Not sure how you measure that in terms of needing urgent maintenance.

Thanks for the response GB2! I do have a manual and also a technician who is "somewhat" OK at fixing these machines but I am not entirely confident that he could complete the job successfully but after you mentioning that its not actually a hard task makes me feel a whole lot better at giving him a shot at replacing the parts.

Service Maintenance Kit # 2: [COLOR=rgb(3.921600%, 25.098000%, 78.039000%)]
• [/COLOR]Aerosol Filter (see page 371)

• Service Station (see page 362)
  
• Color Sensor (see page 488)
  
• Line Sensor (see page 486)
  
• Paper Jam sensor (see page 411)
  
• Spittoon Assembly (see page 374)

hmmm...Id maybe just do a smk3 and leave the other stuff alone. A lot of cost in that colour sensor that doesn't get used anyway.


I would love to do the job..but flying out from Australia will cost more

Im thinking of just doing the Service Station and Spittoon Assembly. What sort of cost would I be looking at.
