Looks like the magenta head was misfiring

With the 1625, make sure you keep a copy of the cfg file someplace other than on that Pc. This will help prevent issues if you have computer issues. It wouldn’t be the first time a windows update went sideways.

Clean your wiper and do another purge. Looks like residual ink from the wi

What sort of help do you need?

Try lowering the lamp intensity, keep in mind once the ink starts to cure it will eventually fully cure. By lowering the intensity you’ll be working with a soft cure (partially cured) as opposed to a hard curr

Failed to connect to print head is commonly caused by a firewall being inadvertently turned on by windows

Running a jig through it won’t be a problem, I have several clients that do that. The 16h will discover the print height at the beginning of the job and adjust accordingly

The 16h and 1625 are very similar. The 16h is faster, it uses the Ricoh gen 5 head, the 1625 uses the toshiba tec head. The 16h has a number of improvements in it, built on a proven platform. I’d recommend getting your sample files printed and comparing.

6 color to 8 color, 2 additional ink lines need to be run. Add 4 jets with supply lines, secondary tanks, etc Replace capper assembly Power lines for lamps (disassemble , restuff igus) Entire carriage plumbing needs to be redone. Computer won’t handle the load needs to be replaced Servos are the...

Is it possible? Yes it is, why would you tho? Apart from the ink consumption there’s no upside to this, the printer won’t be any faster and print quality will suffer. If you choose to do this, make sure you flush the jets with long term storage solution or you’ll be replacing jets when you...

I used triangle inks for years and found them extremely reliable. That being said, having worked with vutek for years, I can tell you first hand they don’t care for aftermarket inks. I’ve performed ink conversions on multiple printers to bring them back in line. From temperature to negative...

Check your negative pressure, the ink drop is an indicator that it could probably be a bit higher. Also you have significant nozzles out in multiple channels, if you haven’t in the past 6-8 months, I’d recommend changing your primary ink filters, for the light cyan, try this 10 second empty...

45087874 HANDLE,ADJUSTABLE,EFI-WF Is the part number, you can buy them from EFI

This actually depends. I know our print heads, once they’ve had ink in them get stored with solution in them. Again depending on what ink you have ( we have 2, solvent, and storage solution) anything with a solvent component should be removed, but this can be problematic getting it all out. Once...

in my experience, I've found that this can be caused by a couple things. 1) dirty encoder, clean with isopropyl alcohol, bit the strip and the encidervread head. 2) faulty encoder, if some attempted to clean with a harsh chemical it can lead to corrupted data getting through to the head. 3) bad...

for giggles, look under your carriage, it looks like you have trash stuck under there. Additionally, once a printhead starts to go, you can get some odd results. This could also be the case, but the picture isn't big enough to be able to look at the edge to see if it's just one color or all...

That loupe will be fine, you won't need to get that tight into the dot to see it. As for a couple days, shouldn't be an issue, it's a closed system, do a nozzle wash, fill the cap station with cleaning solution, then power off the unit in the back, that will keep the heads nice and wet. Check...

in flexi it is called ink layers, I'm almost 100% positive about that. The problem with that is, it will shift everything much darker, so it will require a rework of all the art if you are color sensitive.

You CAN reset the timer, but I'd recommend against it, there's a reason why it's there in the first place. Granted there's a little play in the counter, but the next step for that printer is, it will error out, and you'll need to replace it. It's a counter, it keeps track of the number of times...

typically in the past, when I have seen a printer veer to one side or the other, it's a bad encoder, or encoder reader. From time to time it will be caused by a dirty encoder strip, but if after you clean it, the problem persists, it's time to suck it up and buy another encoder strip. As for...
