Yellow Ink won't fire!

[ncastrellon]

Hi there all.



Here's the crisis..... I performed a nozzle wash on my JV3-160 on monday and after a few hard cleanings, I did a test draw and the yellow head printed green… obviously a cross-contamination with the Cyan head. I used a syringe to sucked out the contaminated ink and now the yellow head won't fire at all! I've replaced the damper, performed several Fill-Up Ink cycles, and did a few disway washed and no luck! I do not have a cleaning cart for this machine so that's out of the question for now. Anyone have a remedy for this?



*UPDATE* - Now the Cyan head won't print. What else is gonna go wrong?

I just went through about a week of bad printing. Try lowering your tanks to about 34-35". standard height is 36, but when winter hits the atmos. pressure changes and you may need to drop. I changed dampers, and a head and all it was tank height.

You can get this head primed again by attaching a syringe to the hose coming from the center cap. Draw on the syringe until you see ink in the syringe or hear an air leak coming from the center cap. replace cap and/or check carriage height and capping alignment if you do hear air leaking.
