Another happy Bday wish here....

So to confirm now..... the ink does not run back to the cart in the main ink line on the magenta? Just the head drops out no matter where you place the magenta damper. Are those clear tube lines that connect to the underside of the captops unblocked? Actually remove and blow through them...

If its those $10 -$15 refill carts that you can by on ebay and such, I did notice that as long as I did not remove the carts they were ok but once I removed one the oring seemed to have softened and was leaking so I would assume they would not seal as tight. That may be enough to not let the...

thank you...

A bump.... Has anyone used a long neck grommet in a Stimpson?

I think nwebee can take the credit too as the idea to check the other cables was theirs. That's whats so good about this site is the input as a whole working together.

I have had that happen with the waterbased ink as well. I loaded a new cart and after a while of printing the one head (new cart) dropped out but I would do a cleaning and it would be ok again till the head discharged all the ink and it would not re-charge. One time it seemed to be the head as...

Have thought about that but just never got around to trying those yet. On the to do list.

Good to hear.... You may want to spen a few bucks and sign up for the prem. membership for a month and down load the service manual. It would be well worth the $$ and then you can surf those sections for some added info. Also easier than getting it from a site you may not be able to trust.

I am guessing on this but... if you just swaped the cable you would not have totaly removed it and reset it from both ends. Possibly the other end of the ribbon cable is not set propper and you could try to take the other end off if you have not done so. Remember to unplug and hit the power...

Just a heads up, you may have posted your photo in the wrong way. Check the rules and re post if you can so that the photo is stored here and not on another server. Now you need to open the file and some may not want to risk that. As for heads. Was that the test print? You also said you...

I may be out of place to say this but I don't think the OP was talking about you and your help. I think he meant the tech guys in his town. I'm sure he is thankfull for your help. Thats just the way I read it. I think all of us on this forum know that you have some great input on this type...

I have been fooling with making a slitter for this kind of thing. Basically a block with a blade that can be adjusted out by fractions so that you can actually flip the print over and cut through just the backing paper and not go through the vinyl. I had never thought it would be possible to...

You will need the service manual to do all the test prints and allignments with new heads installed as well as change the heads "head rank" for each head. Writen on the side in black ink. These need to be entered in the service menu. To get into that you turn off the pannel power and do this on...

Look for "head rank" and then the head you changed. Artbot is your man..... listen to him.....

I think it may have a bit to do with the tension of the cable. You need a tension meter to do it right. I tried to mess with mine to get rid of that noise and got a scary error after, so I set it back to where it was and the error quit..... thankfully. I would say don't mess with it unless...

Don't have a SP300 but I am sure you will have to change the head rank in the service menu. There should have been a number on the print head. You will need that. To get into the service mode has been discussed here before and you may have to do a search on that. It may be...

You might be able to calculate the % you need to add for banners to print the right length in the rip. Example: if for a 10 foot banner (120 inches) you are 1/2" short this would be ( .5 divide by 120 = .004166 ) As long as in your rip that you use you can see the width and height % you can...

Looking to get some long neck grommets for my Stimpson. Fellers has one for Hiker and one for Fasnap. Need a #2 3/8 size but wondering if anyone has tried these or what to recomend. I need to get some reg. #2 nickel but want to get some longer for thicker coro jobs and just in case jobs...

Your black looks like it has a bit of defection as some of the lines are not crisp so this could be a bit of the overspray. If you picked up the unit used then you have no idea if the previous owner had any kind of head strike. This can easily happen and if the head (most times the far left one)...
