Hello, What is the best and easiest way to setup a through cut job without having the job fall out off the sheet before it's completed? We are getting a job with several stickers and one cut will be a contour cut and the second will be a trim around the job. I have found that if the pressure is...

Onestringer, were able to determine the cause the vertical banding and tiny ink drops? I'm having similar issues with a VJ1618. Thanks.

Turn off the machine and try reseating the ribbon cables.

Thanks for the follow-up. Well done.

Also, make sure that the proper brackets are holding the maintenance assembly correctly. This may require taking brackets off the old one and placing them on the new one. Glad it's working though.

It might be worth just shutting down the machine, unplug, hit the power button on and then off again. They try plugging it back in and see if anything changes.

The head might not be seated properly over the cap.

Thanks for the info Henry. Yes, all parts and ink are original Mutohs. I am suspecting a partial ink block in the Y connector or tubing between main ink line and damper. Maybe the damper is just not refilling on one side due to a clog. Although I am able to draw ink from damper.

It's a strange one. When the issue happens, I'll shut down the machine. Manually draw ink through the damper, power machine up and do a normal cleaning and all fine. Then, anytime from 2 days to a week, one full cyan channel goes missing. There are no kinks in the ink lines, the solenoid fires...

dampers Thanks d fleming. Yeah, I changed o-rings and fittings along with damper. I'm going to check for kinks in the line, however, I didn't see any issues before.

Do the dampeners on a vj1614 need to be completely full? The reason I ask, is that I'm losing a full block of Cyan in my nozzle check intermittently. I have already replaced the dampener several times. After replacement it works for like a week and then same issue returns. In comparing the cyan...

Abnormal condition in wiper sensor. • Wiper sensor assembly may be faulty. • Maintenance assembly may be damaged. • Main board assembly may be faulty. 1. Check connection of wiper sensor connector. 2. Replace wiper sensor. 3. Replace wiper origin cable assembly. 4. Replace pump cap assembly. 5...

Also, check your heater settings. If the temp is too high, it can cause media lifting.

Thanks for that Randy. I've just heard that VJ-1604 pads don't last as long with the VJ-1608 MP Inks. Anyone know where I could order just the 1608 pads without the plastic holder? Thanks again.

Is the spit absorbent pad that sits to the right of the platen the same on both a VJ1608 with MP Ink as say a VJ1604 with eco solvent ink? Or are the pads made of different material. Thanks.

Thanks for the info Randy. When I do a nozzle check, I'm missing the entire left head nozzles. But when I send a print through, I don't have any issues with quality on my print. Shouldn't I have severe banding? Just a thought.

How do you determine which head is firing on a VJ1618? I'm assuming that it's determined by the print mode you are printing from the rip. The issue I am having is keeping the nozzles clear on one of the print heads (left one). Because I usually print Quality 2, Wave 1, I don't think I'm using...

The head rank should be provided with the new print head. These parameters need to be updated after the head is replaced.

I believe it's 2 amps.

Might be the CR belt. Apply a little grease. That might help if it's not the carriage itself. I've had that happen before.
