Not printing yellow?

[RSR571]

I am waitning for Mutoh to call me back but I figued I'd see if anyone knows what I should try next. I have not prited anything in a couple of days when I turned the machine on and ran a nozel check it was not printing any yellow, I did a mannual clean and aslo a couple of machine cleanings I tryed to print something maybe thinking the nozels are clogged or something. Any help would be great. I have a Mutoh Toucan LT running Mutoh eco-sol inks.

Check to see if there is yellow in:

a. The dampers
b. The ink lines
c. The cartidge

Forgot what It's called, but fill your capping station with solvent cleaner and let your heads soak for 10 minutes or so then do a test print. Should open it up.

There's a little tab on the cartridge that slides over to flip a switch when
the cartridge is almost empty. Sometimes this tab will get stuck and not
do it's job. Same thing happened to me just yesterday with light cyan. It's
not the first time it's happened. You could have an empty cartridge.

Thats hapened to me a couple of times. It would be first on my list to check since its the easyest thing to do.

I was told not to turn off my printer, it's been on since dec 2007.

Is that true, leave it on for ever??

You keep the main power on but turn off your machine on the front panel.
