I usually tought that years ago... But, there are more things... Wiper gears in the pump break and wiper doesnt extend completely, silicone tubes become soft and they stretch themself instead of making negative pressure in the cap... And the most important, the metal finally bends and its difficult to make it work like a new one. I have done all that many times and now i always dismantle the non working one, fix all, and if it still doesnt suck, i replace it... And works always lol most problems.on this machines are caused for an unhealthy cleaning station, unreplaced wipers, silicone tubes (specially with some inks) etc. I always buy the aftermarket ones and all work perfect. There are different models... Last time i bought the cheaper one and still working for years taking care of it... Cleaning the wiper every day and replacing when is not perfect and sucking cleaning liquid (no alcohol/isopropil etc) from the cap (sucking from the pump) when u see the colours mixed in the cap.
No problem with the help hahaha i like to do it... I really know how do you feel with the machine right now and are no beautiful moments hahaha thiese mutohs are easy to mantain and have partes, but they have lots of minor tricks where u can save or break the machine more, like any other machine... At least this ones are fast and easy to dissasemble, not like hps/Epson. I have thrown to the bin like 3 hps and 2 or 3 epsons just for the bad thinked they are for maintenance... Tired of mantain them and tired of their stupid sensors, plastics and number of pieces and different screws lol mutohs are A-B-C... Looks like designed from people that have to use them
