Shop heat died... printer very cold

[formanek]

So this am I discover my heater in the shop died that houses my Mutoh printer. Some water bottles in the shop froze but the spare inks I have laying around did not. The printer however is saying low inks and post heater errors. I shut it down and the heater is now heating back up the shop.

In a total panic on what may have happened. Once the heat catches up in the shop I am going to start up the printer again. Any advice besides praying?

Allow your inks to come back to room temp before your start printing, so they get back to the correct physical properties for good jetting.

Eco-solvent is made from glycol ethers, relatives of antifreeze.
I would gently shake all your ink, which you should do periodically if you keep stock.

I got everything warmed up but then received a wiper error. After searching the error code here on 101 I found that it was stuck. I rolled the gear back to get the wiper in the back position and proceeded to clean the huge amount of thick black goo that was in the way. Test printed and also cleaned and seems to be working. It was -15 degrees last night so I am sure it got below zero in there.

I am looking at a trailer to buy , pop pop died and the son is selling ... INside They had 4 of those liquid radiator heaters in the joint . Maybe get some as a backup set on like 50 degrees in a corner ?

Actually the issue turned out to be someone left the garage door open for over 10 hours. That meant the heater ran all night but the heater couldn't keep up. Now I have to figure out why the damn door was open.

Sounds like an expensive utility bill is on its way.....
