  5. Dead Printer?

    Hi there I have an old HP Designjet T2300 postscript eMFP. Completely Dead. Nothing. Was working fine, went to print something about 2 weeks later and nothing, screen completely blank. Because of its age it's not worth spending any real $$$ on. I just didn't want to bin it if was something...

  7. Question Mutoh VJ-1324 broken pinch roller holder

  8. Question Mutoh VJ-1324 broken pinch roller holder

    Hi Bob. Thanks for the advice. I am getting some marking on the sheets where the roller is missing (I think this is called head strike? Fyi. new to signage, commercial print background). It does help if I print with the head high but this tends not to print as nice. thanks Simon
  9. Question Mutoh VJ-1324 broken pinch roller holder

    All good. I expected you head is stuffed if it's been sitting there for 3 years. I could be interested in purchasing the head if it had been flushed out thoroughly before going in storage, but a bit of a risk. ta Simon
  10. Question Mutoh VJ-1324 broken pinch roller holder

    Hi there. I can't see away of replacing this without pulling the whole machine apart. A major?. See attached photos. As you can see the plastic holder is broken. I tried glueing (It lasted about a week). Any tricks or thoughts much appreciated. thanks Simon

  12. Mutoh print quality

    Hi there. Any thoughts as to what is causing this. See attached. Mostly magenta but there is some on yellow and cyan. Old VJ -1324. Head height low. printed on PVC towards the end of a two meter print. Probably something really obvious, I don't have a huge amount of experience with signage...

  15. Blocked Head

    Thanks Guys. Might be time for a new printer (shame as it was not long ago I put a new head in and has not done a lot of work) Just wondering why it might have packed in so soon?. Machine is never turned off (regular cleaning cycles) I have recently being putting thick paper through (rather than...
  16. Blocked Head

    Hi Umateria Thanks for the advice. I can't seem to find how to get into the "printhead signals" option but here is a nozzle check. As you can see the cyan print is not good. ta Simon
  17. Blocked Head

    Hi Unmateria Not sure if this is what you mean by a "full nozzle check" see attached. If it is? I can post a higher resolution image if it helps. thanks Simon
  18. Blocked Head

    Thanks Clemento. Head was only replaced about 6months ago. So hopefully still ok. ta Simon
  19. Blocked Head

    Hi there. Constantly getting a bad test print (on the cyan) but it's not just missing it's also coming out the wrong colour (very dirty cyan). Done endless cleans, Little charge etc.. The things that gets me is it's not consistent. It will come 95% right! last like that for a few prints and...
  20. Mutoh VJ 1324 upgrade

    Hi there. My old Mutoh is getting a bit long in the tooth. Thinking about an upgrade. My issue is I don't use it a lot. (but of course when I do I need it to perform well). I realise that solvent printers need to be used. (this could be one of the reason I have quite a few issues with my...
