Alright .... first of all my apology to the once that have been waiting updates from me..... I have been involved in a relationship with a crazy pretty girl that went down the drain ...but now I'm back on track
... ..... I haven't done much since my last posts and this week I resumed work on this prokect.
Where I left off was I received the replacement printhead board from Wit-Color.... changed that and it looked like I had the same issues with print head # 2 .... all in all I did change prinheads around and it apears that print head # 2 turned out to be bad ..... it's just sprying a 1" think black line when I try to print with it.... hooked up the print head #1 to both connectors on the new board and it it prints fine......
What I did discover while doing this is that the ink lines for print head # 2 were chocking at the point where they were coming out of the rail....so ink would not go thorugh.... didn't see that till I started taking stuff apart...... so I think that if from the beginning those lines would have been curving properly and not choke.... eveything would have run properly.... I always looked at the ribbons to make sure I connect them properly...so I'm not sure if connecting and disconnecting them cause the board and then print head # 2 to go bad.... but somehow it did.... I will ship them (the old board and print head # 2) to Witcolor and see if they can provide me a second print head..... either way the entire problem appears to have started with ink lines of printhead #2 choking......if if anyone ordered this ...check that too....
Ok so now I have replaced the dampers with DX5 dampers from DX4 which were originally included and they fit in better.,..stay straight and seem to work perfect with printhead #1...... While I get the issue with printhead # 2 solved I have setup the machine to work with just one printhead and it working perfect now........ just batteling the color profiles at the moment....and I almost got the 13oz glossy banner and Oracal 3621m pretty good....
I will post pics and more updated in the coming days.....
Cheers!
