Does it look like the damper burst? It seems to have dumped ink all over back and forth inside the printer.

Hello, unfortunately we had a snafu. Ink is now leaking out everywhere. I've pulled the top off the printer. Here is what we are seeing now:

Folks, need a bit of help. Today one of my printers started making a strange grinding type of noise. The printing looks fine, but it has me quite concerned because I've never had this issue before. I uploaded a video onto vimeo here: Anyone seen this before? It seems to be coming from...

Hi yannb - just to confirm. Are there any special settings that need to be activated in Flexi to make sure it converts to 9 colors? For example, do I need to somehow activate this "half tone module" for the full suite of colors to print? I want to make sure that if I have it on CMYK, it won't...

Folks I’m looking for a Graphtec cutter 54 or 64 inches. Preferably an FC9000 but would also consider the 8600. Please let me know of any good deals on new or used.

Folks, need some help. I have a Roland SP300i. I've been printing and cutting stickers and decals. Today I printed an order of die cut stickers using the same settings I've been using - and none of the stickers on the left side of the media are cut through. Its like the blade is losing...

Many thanks, my friend. What do you use to try to pull ink through? Do you use a syringe or something of that nature? I have put cleaning fluid on the cap tops, and it seems to go down the tubes, is this what it should be doing, or should it sit?

Folks, the new cap tops came in yesterday and I replaced them last night. It does definitely look better than it did before, though Black still seems to have a lot of deflections. I’m going to try printing some Decals and stuff tomorrow to see what they look like. Below is a test print I just...

Thanks all, your guidance is very much appreciated. I ran a cleaning cycle while holding the bottle - the ink did seem to come out pretty consistently and a decent amount. So I think the pump is good, thank the Lord. I'm ordering cap tops from Solventinkjet - so I will provide an update...

Thank you folks, this is helpful to know. I will see how the ink comes out during a cleaning cycle. I may try putting in new cap tops as they don’t seem that expensive. Are there any specific brands to buy? So on the black, is it likely that I’d need a new head to overcome the deflection...

Folks I’m just trying to get into printing. And I just bought a used SP-300i. The seller claimed this has been in use with no issues. I’ve set it up and the test print looks quite bad. Picture below. I ran multiple cleaning functions, did a head soak overnight. And did manual cleaning per the...
