  1. Mutoh Vj-1638 In Need Of New Head?

    No i didn't, I got an Epson 80600 instead. It has made my life much easier. After much research it seems that the Mutoh cyan ink is the main cause. Mutoh exhanged heads on goodwill a couple of years ago but not anymore. My other Mutoh is beginning to slowly die aswell so maybe another Epson...
  2. Mutoh Vj-1638 In Need Of New Head?

    I´m using Onyx 12.05 and it lets me choose between those effects. I tried this just now and without results.

    Awesome! I looked for this for about half a year.
  4. Mutoh Vj-1638 In Need Of New Head?

    Thanks! I´ve tried this without results. I also cleaned the encoder strip. Today I turned one head off at a time and checked the results and I got the same kind of "overspray" on both heads. Mutoh tells me it´s likely a head that is failing but I doubt that both heads should fail at the same time.
  5. Mutoh Vj-1638 In Need Of New Head?

    Thanks! I replaced the cyan cartridges yesterday with new ones from another batch. After that I did about 3 small ink charges and a few cleanings. I also printed about 1x1m cyan so I think the new ink should have came through. This was without results though. Is there a way to turn off one head...
  6. Mutoh Vj-1638 In Need Of New Head?

    I didn't notice anything suspicious about the cables but I did unplug them and checked them just to be sure. One thing I´ve noticed however is that the nozzle check looks bad on both heads regarding the cyan. Maybe there isn't a problem with head nr2 since there are issues with cyan on both heads!?

    OK tanks! I´ll check it out. Does anyone have a service manual for these printers? I want to be able to replace and align the head myself but the retailer wont let the manual off his hands. The machine is now ower 3 years old and I don't want to pay overprice for neither the head or someone to...
  8. Mutoh Vj-1638 In Need Of New Head?

    Hi, Today I experienced something wrong with my prints, the cyan was all over the place. You could say that it was like a mist of cyan on the vinyl next to the printed area. I'll post a pick of an adjustment pattern where you can see that it is head nr2 that´s the issue . Let me know what you...
  9. VJ-1638 - Black lumps and banding

    Hi, I have a VJ-1638 that is about 2 years old now. I´m having two issues and the first being that when I print a lot of red I get these black lumps of ink all over the print, sometimes more and sometimes less. Dunno why this is but maybe some of you know!? See attached picture. The second is...
