All the VS and VSi have recirculating pumps on channel 1 and 8.

No Bingo!!! you will need to cut and close the connections between the cartridge outlets in the back of the machine. Just open the cover behind the cartridges. There have been black stoppers delivered with the printer. When I remember correctly, Versaworks doesn't support this configuration...

As I mentioned before. Your printhead needs replacement. Your deflected nozzles in black won't go away with soaking. It may even get worse.

Just break out the plastic "fin" protruding out of the slit of the empty cartridge.

Don't use a configuration with white ink...

Hi The cleaning pump is easily replaced. On the cleaning side, there is only one pump for all colors. The recirculation pumps are a pain to replace and there are two of them sharing one motor. These are located in the box under the cartridges.

Hi Since the VS is a old printer, I'd take a look at the pumps. I'm assuming the cap top closes air tight... I had cases where the cleaning pump was sucking ink, when I observed a cleaning cycle. But it was not enough, to keep the white going. After I replaced the pump, everything was ok...

Put a little grease on the upper side of the plastic strip on the lower right side of the maintenance cartridge.

You will probably have to replace the outer pinch rollers (complete with the black part holding the rollers) Look closely at the black parts, where the sit on the actuating rod. They tend to get cracks and don't have the correct spring loaded pressure anymore.

This sounds like your flatcable going to the toolcarriage needs replacement.

I can't speak for your dealer, but I'd just come out, backup your parameters, replace the board and see what happens.

You should install a osmosis unit in front of the humidification.

Sounds to me like air has gotten into the system. You can compare the actual y/m printhead weight with a working one. (C/K for example) If it's lighter, then its likely air in the system.

Typical problem seen with former Latex 3XX users, switching to Latex 700/800. I always stress that point in the customer training.

I'd try using the USB connection to do the firmwareupgrade on a freshly switched on cutter. If that doesn't help, maybe your cutters mainboard has a problem and needs to be replaced. (I service Summa for 30 years)

Could be a firmware bug. The cleaning cartridge/bag is only used to keep the wiper clean, but the machine stops working, when empty. If your printer runs out of a ink, it stops as well. So it's a good idea to have a set of every color plus a cleaning around. The TR2 ink is higher pigmented, than...

Well, it not necessarily only affects the W units. I just needed to replace a pressure sensor, flooded with ink, while the critical parts on the white tray stayed dry...(pips and pumps) I did the latest out of the box instruction during installation... checked and tightened the luers on the...

Hi, your problem was that your captop or pump isn't working fine. When there is a "liquid bridge"(captop not sucked empty, before it covers the head over a extended period of time) over the two channels on a printhead, ink flows from a fuller cartridge to the one with the lower niveau. So this...

There are some possible problems I see with this old printer. Price is too high Part supply unsure in the near future Only works with old Versaworks 5.51 It has ink starvation issues when printing large uniform color areas.(may not be a problem, when printing small labels)

Could be a bug. My first action would be a firmware update 27 ist the actual, you use 26. It also looks like you have a Summa with OPOS camera. This may be different from the "normal" OPOS, since the image processing is done in the PC (Cutter control). If a firmware update doesn't help, contact...
