So I picked up an older 1604. The maintenance station was caked with old ink all over the place (i.e wiper, gears, etc.). I removed the maintenance station and cleaned every little nook and cranny, hoses, took apart pump, etc. to get it working again. I dropped it in the machine today and...

I dropped an aqueous dx5 head from a r1900 printer into a mutoh vj1204 about 6 months ago and seems to be working fine. It was the older head, so it didn't need any inline cards to use it. You have to flush the head prior to installing and change it to a solvent manifold. Artbot was a great...

Curious to find out if anyone has used a printhead out of a r1900 or r2880 to replace a printhead in the vj1204 or similar printer?? I understand you would have to change the manifold to the solvent manifold, but was curious about other peoples experiences. Are there other Epson printers that...

damper So black is basically red and blue is pretty much nothing. I have air in the cyan lines now because I took off the damper. How do I syringe it back?. I pulled ink through the line cyan line, but it gets air when I try to place the line back on the damper. Oh yeah and it seems to be...

Uh oh So I think I really screwed something up.. I switched the black lines to the cyan lines to check the nozzle print and now I have lost both the Black and Cyan lines. When I put them back to normal, it didn't work either.. When I print black I see a real faint beige color.. Ugh.. Any...

Thanks for all of this info. I got backed up and haven't had time to check it out, but I will give all of this a try this weekend.. Where should I pick up the dampers for this??? Any recommendations?? Ill post results to let you know and hopefully get to the bottom of this.

Thank you for all of that info. I have done the head soak probably 5 or 6 times now and ran strong cleaning cycles after each. I cleaned the capping station and the wiper as well with the cleaning solution from a cleaning cartridge I broke open. The nozzle check for all of the other print...

Just checking to see if anyone would have any other options I could take a look at in regards to the clogged black nozzle on my vj1204. Thanks again..

Is it possible that the dampers could be bad???

So far.. I I took out waste tank and ran 3 strong cleaning cycles and there was ink in the waste tank after, so that seems to be working. I have attached a picture of the nozzle check. I was having trouble uploading the picture, but hopefully it made it through. I ran the cleaning mode in low...

Hi everyone. I have a vj 1204 and recently noticed that when printing solid black, I was getting very poor quality(almost starts off green and then gets a little better). I did a nozzle check and noticed that approx half of the black pattern is missing. I did some research and did a few head...
