Update I changed the main station and it seems to be sealing well - I can kook a syringe underneath and it will draw ink out, but with plenty of resistance. That did not fix the problem so I also changed the dampers. One of the dampers did not want to fill. I had to remove the damper and...

Also - the printer is telling me my black ink cart is almost empty, yet I can still feel ink sloshing around in it. It's not new, but definitely not empty. A brand new cart weighs 12 7/8 oz on my digital scale. The one in the printer weighs 8 1/2 oz.

Not sure if this makes a difference, but this is not happening from just sitting overnight. For instance - today - I printed a sheet of 60 small bumper stickers with a black background. the 1st sheet printed fine - black was black. I printed the second sheet like 5 minutes later and the...

Thanks for the reply. I removed the waste ink tray & placed a rag under the maint station. I used a screwdriver to hold the waste tray switch and ran a strong cleaning cycle. Plenty of ink was discharged under the maint station. Wiper is clean. All colors are 100% in nozzle check except...

The ink lines seem to be solid black. the dampers (on all colors) seem to be 100% full.

Update - Changed the Maint Assembly I changed the maintenance assembly. I also did a head soak in the cleaning solution. I was able to free up almost 100 % of the black nozzles. Completed a few large prints with success. Now - I'm back to where I started. Blacks are looking washed out &...

1204 still available? Looking for the VJ 1204 service manual if it is available. info@pwcgraphics.com Thanks!

Any chance of getting in on this? I need to do some work on my 1204 - thanks!

Thanks guys - I'll check out these tips. Any online resources for a service manual so I can read up on the instructions? Thanks again!

Not sure of exact age, but I know it is over 2 years old. Is there a guide that shows how to test for clogs and how to check the seal of the cap top? Thanks for the response!

Hello. I have a Mutoh ValueJet 1204 that is used almost always on a daily basis (aside from weekends). Last week I was printing a bunch of logos and noticed that the black areas appeared to be a bit washed out looking. After a nozzle check, it appeared that approx 50% of black was blocked...

This happened because I accidentally deleted a windows system font. After re-installing default windows system fonts - the problem was fixed.

This exact same thing happened to me today. Did you ever find out how to fix this issue?

Thank you so much! Let me know what I can do to return the favor!

I would do a strong cleaning. At times, my Junior would seem to print fine, but when it would try to print the reg marks - they would be faint or not there at all. Your black head may have clogged nozzles.

I am using Flexi 8.1 - Value Jet 1204 - Graphtec FC 8000. The size of the design to be print then contour cut is 26" x 40" When contour cutting - the leading edge seems to be lined up (not perfect, bu close), but the final edge is off my almost ¼". I have gone through "output size...

Thanks for the info, but I am not trying to adjust the scan area (at the plotter)... I am trying to reduce the size of the printed marks that Flexi prints. In my old version - they were approx ½" & in the new version, they are approx ¾". Thanks Mike

Hello - I recently switched to Flexi 8.1 from 7.6. My old version of Flexi made the contour cut reg marks approx ½" or so & this newer version makes them approx ¾". Is there any way to make these smaller? I am using Graphtec Type 1 Automatic as the setting. Thanks Mike

Thanks for the help, guys. This printer has served me well for years, but I have used this as an excuse to order my new VinylJet. If anyone is interested in purchasing this Falcon Jr. Let me know!:thankyou:

The only thing that I did before this started happening was & removed & cleaned the square thick absorbent material (the one before the wiper). I have already tried to clean the encoder strip with no change. Thanks Mike
