Here are some extra pictures of the printer.

Artbot I really appreciate your time. Here is a picture of the "micro diaphragm pumps" that I believe you are referring to. The one on the far left seems to be the one that pumps air. From what I can tell it has a filter attached to it. Where would you think that this adjustment dial would...

This is sort of a duplicate thread of the one I posted in "digital printing" but I have learned that the issue we have is in a system that is designed just like a graphtec JS310-25ES 102" printer. Original link for reference...

I have a lot of experience with feed issues for various reasons and I can tell you with confidence that isn't a feed issue. Feed issues would leave more consistent banding or at least more distinct banding if not consistent. These lines he is getting you can see while it prints the pass before...

Thanks for the reply. That's pretty much where we're at. We were able to talk to someone via skyp at one point and he was directing us to a pressure valve that didn't exist. He then said some of the printers didn't have it but was waiting on the tech again to explain which never happened. I...

I just made a post today (http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?107846-Black-straight-line-banding-with-all-nozzles-firing-and-wave-on&p=1118768#post1118768) where I am having that same issue, but only in my black! The way you described it and from what I can see in your pics is the...

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, I didn't not see a Seiko forum or a tech related one for this. We have a "china" printer that is 10'6" using seiko mainboards and heads. They are the newer Seiko heads like in the W54s. The printer is brand new and as we should have known...

I can post pictures later but basically I was wondering if one of you guru's had an opinion on the first things to check. I have owned and self maintained this printer for about 4 years now and have never had to replace a part other than regular maintenance stuff (with the exception of the...

I know this might seem like common sense but check the cord. Does it say "warming up" on the control panel of the printer but just sits there forever? If the power cord is plugged in to the heater port but just a little loose it will not work. Also replace the cord with a spare just to be...

Hi Everyone, Friday during a print my steel belt snapped. The printer is going on 4 years now and has never had a single part other than wipers and sponges replaced. Mutoh techs say that it is very uncommon for a belt to snap after it's first week in production. I don't see anything that...

Well I know this thread is a couple months old but did you ever figure out the problem? Here's my situation. I have been using a laptop running win 7 x64 with a very old crappy flexiprint SE mutoh 5.0. Anyway, laptop has run this printer fine for over a year, but I want to use a more...

Does anyone know a mutoh tech in the tampa bay area? Or even anywhere in florida that wouldnt mind traveling to work on a mutoh? Freelance is OK with me, the printer is not under warranty and I don't really want to spend the $$ mutoh expects to send a tech out.

Check out this thread. Sounds like the belt from your drive motor to the encoder wheel is skipping on the gear, probably just need to take the panel off and adjust it. http://signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59169&page=2

The printer is a 1614 with takeup, but I see these issues long before it is long enough to attach to the takeup. I will get photos during my next print run. I will test the heaters as well, I have standby heaters turned off, so its a little hard to test the heaters while its running. I...

Still unresolved. Im getting nasty banding in some colors, none i others. I have tried every combo of heat, profile, speed, wave, etc on the planet. Everything has been cleaned and recleaned, lubricated, etc. I just cant figure this out. Does anyone know a mutoh tech in the tampa bay...

If its not a money issue cant you just get a cartridge locally? Like from nglantz, sign supply, fellers, or grimco?

After reading this thread I tried some things that seems to have mostly fixed my problem. It mentioned above to loosen the screws to the drive shaft motor (the small sprocket thingy) and move it towards the encoder wheel until the disc touches the inner most part of the sensor guide. I did...

Wow, thats not what I wanted to hear. I have no idea where to start! As for the pressure lever....doesnt make a difference.

Wow I just saw this thread. Randy I am suprised you have not seen these issues before? I have this same problem once in a while. I always thought it was media alignment problems. It is the exact issue you posted, where it gets wavey every so and so mm. Here is how I fix my problem...

I have no idea how to fix this problem. It seems to be doing it on all materials with all heat settings with and without wave, with and without bi directional. The right hand side of the image (54" wide) looks ok, but the far left is showing lighter color waves every pass. If I adjust the PF...
