Thanks Bob. I'll experiment. Someone told me the exact opposite, but I guess best just to play around and find out what works the best. ta Simon

Hi Subysti. Sounds great!. With the expense of these new it would be worth me taking a punt on it. Happy to pay for postage and a little extra for your time removing from the printer. Do you take paypal? Feel free to email me direct. Here is my website. www.haysom.co.nz. thanks Simon

Hi Bob. Thanks for the advice. I am getting some marking on the sheets where the roller is missing (I think this is called head strike? Fyi. new to signage, commercial print background). It does help if I print with the head high but this tends not to print as nice. thanks Simon

All good. I expected you head is stuffed if it's been sitting there for 3 years. I could be interested in purchasing the head if it had been flushed out thoroughly before going in storage, but a bit of a risk. ta Simon

Hi there. I can't see away of replacing this without pulling the whole machine apart. A major?. See attached photos. As you can see the plastic holder is broken. I tried glueing (It lasted about a week). Any tricks or thoughts much appreciated. thanks Simon

Thanks Damon Yes it is in the same direction as the head movement. I'll have a look. ta Simon

Hi there. Any thoughts as to what is causing this. See attached. Mostly magenta but there is some on yellow and cyan. Old VJ -1324. Head height low. printed on PVC towards the end of a two meter print. Probably something really obvious, I don't have a huge amount of experience with signage...

Hi Humberto. Yes Genuine Mutoh head and ink. I have just noticed that the ink is way past it's expiry date. (talking years not months) . So going to try some fresh ink. It cant hurt and could potential be an easy fix. thanks Simon

Thanks I'lll do this- Change dampers, replace cap top, flush pump lines and replace the cap top. Here hoping. ta Simon

Thanks Guys. Might be time for a new printer (shame as it was not long ago I put a new head in and has not done a lot of work) Just wondering why it might have packed in so soon?. Machine is never turned off (regular cleaning cycles) I have recently being putting thick paper through (rather than...

Hi Umateria Thanks for the advice. I can't seem to find how to get into the "printhead signals" option but here is a nozzle check. As you can see the cyan print is not good. ta Simon

Hi Unmateria Not sure if this is what you mean by a "full nozzle check" see attached. If it is? I can post a higher resolution image if it helps. thanks Simon

Thanks Clemento. Head was only replaced about 6months ago. So hopefully still ok. ta Simon

Hi there. Constantly getting a bad test print (on the cyan) but it's not just missing it's also coming out the wrong colour (very dirty cyan). Done endless cleans, Little charge etc.. The things that gets me is it's not consistent. It will come 95% right! last like that for a few prints and...

Hi there. My old Mutoh is getting a bit long in the tooth. Thinking about an upgrade. My issue is I don't use it a lot. (but of course when I do I need it to perform well). I realise that solvent printers need to be used. (this could be one of the reason I have quite a few issues with my...
