Mutoh 1624x Printing problems

[shanevibes]

Hello, my Mutoh 1624x is not printing as should. I get no nozzle check (only a few cyan lines). I’ve done several cleans, used a syringe at maintenance station etc. I only get some sort of print when I try to print the pallet. See attached file

Seems like extremely dirty, properly clean capping station, wiper blade, printhead side plates without touching the head surface. Flush the capping station and make sure it flows perfectly. Run deep cleaning cycle, then most probably it will work perfectly.

I tried all of that. Do you think the head cables would cause this?

Need some answers first.
Was the printer in storage or sitting without use for a long time? If so everything in the ink train is probably clogged/dryed. Time to figure out if it's worth saving. I would say no, since a new Xpert Jet is around 10 grand delivered.

Was the printer in continuous heavy use and did this on the next job? If so it could be the ribbon cables.(not likely)

When cleaning you could have wiggled something loose. Make sure all cables are seated correctly.

Was the printer in continuous use and did this on the next job? If so it could be the head. My 1624x had exactly half the yellow channel die and it needed a head replacement.

That yellow printing on the right side indicates an electrical issue but I also agree with the guys above that the nozzles also seem to be badly clogged. The cyan seems to be deflecting pretty badly as well. You could try doing some head soaks, and/or manually flush the head with a syringe but that looks like it's going to need a new one unfortunately. Probably needs head cables and a maintenance station as well.

Thanks for the replys. I just purchased a set of cable and captop (from solventinkjet) since the maintenance station was recently replaced. I will also be changing the dampers and O rings etc.

Has it been solved ?

Yes. Bought a new printhead, new dampers, new cap top. Worked like a charm. Thanks again
