Mutoh VJ-1324 head issue.

[Xtreme Signs FL]

Hoping someone had this issue, had to replace the printhead and ribbon cables, when installing I had the ribbons flipped by mistake so the top pins were at the bottom and bottom at top. When turning on all was good but don't print nothing, I pulled ink through printhead from caping station. I did check the 3 fuses and are there good, then I replaced them just to make sure. There are no codes, works like normal but no ink. I'm out $2000 on the printhead. Does anyone have an old printhead they be willing to let go so I can test to see if it is just the printhead, don't care if a lot of nozzles are clogged. I believe the vj-1324 and vj-1624 use same head.Thanks

are damper with ink? after head install did you an ink fill-up?

Yes, dampers have ink, I did pull ink through first. Everything tells me it's a blown printhead but not 100 percent sure, and to buy another new printhead without knowing that's the problem, I really need a used cheap printhead so I can test, then I will get another. Thanks
