problem printing test -CJV30 160-

[ironchef]

Thanks. I been using the swabs to clean the printhead. I just dab on it(soaked in cleaning solution), not swipe or brush. It comes back everyday. Ink drops. What could cause the ink dropping? They have replaced the cap station and pump already. Ill send the cap station pic shortly.thanks

remove right sponge in cap station(next to the captop)... this was solution for me to stop the drops in the printhead and made the print look like nozzles were clogged.

I see. Thanks. Ill try it. But i don't think that is the correct solution. If mimaki put it there. Its important... right?

They also put a peice of metal that rubs on the wash tube eventually wearing a hole in it. That is also important.... :Big Laugh

All kidding aside I doubt it will really hurt the machine to remove that small ink spit pad to the right of the cap but I'd suggest keeping it or at minimum replacing it if it is clogged up with ink.

This is how mine looks like and I changed the sponge couple months ago.

 

[Masseria]

so the sponge still there, did you solved it without taking it out?

 

[ironchef]

No, i took it as is so you can see the sponge is like-new. Also. I had a perfect test print today

 

[Masseria]

you dont need to replace it... i just leave a hole there... and test print are perfect.

If your dampers have blistered it will cause ink drops onto the print.
