This happen all if a sudden? Possible loose printhead cable. ??

It started about 2 weeks ago,
nothing has changed

 

[knabbie]

we haven't replaced or changed any parts
I can check to see if a cable has come loose from the print head

Ink issue with Mutoh? Mutoh has never heard of such a thing.

I had the same thing happen to me on my Mutoh... Just had to change the printer data cable... It's not that exspensive... I would buy 4 a change all of them why u have it apart.

Good luck

is that the ribbon cable for the print head

Would you know where the best place to get the data cables from?
We have gotten parts from Lave Ink and they have sent the wrong parts.

I always get electronic parts from a Mutoh dealer

I have seen that a few times, most likely you are going to need a new head.

However, since you are doing alignments did you just replace the head?

 

[knabbie]

I 'm not sure if it is adjusting the heads,
we checked the uni and bi- directional for the heads and adjusted them

we put a band aid on the issue, we have the printer printing a cyan boarder, which prints the blue line just past the image.
It doesn't seam to do this when we print banners on the lower quality settings

we will probably change out the data cables,
