I had my carriage over in the maintenance side/left for several minutes with the printer turned off, unplugged, and button pushed several times. Power up the printer up. The printer does its cleaning routine. Nothing suspicious. Upon "sensing media" the head carriage quickly but softly stops and...

The issue was the Yellow & Black (4 color) also White & Cleaner (5 color) Y-connectors leading to the dampers. After many hours on and off and many long letters to my tech describing an exotic air leak (air noise at the head/cap), I finally have an air tight printer (VJ-1617H). The...

I'm diagnosing an air leak on a recently purchased/used VJ-1617 and I believe I've isolated the air leak to the adapters (similar ink set up 1638, 1324, and 1638). I got one "plug replacement" error upon a recent boot. My assumption is all of the plugs are old. I can't find a source to...

Want to buy - a used DX7 DG-43988 head that is electronically solid. It can have clogged/deflecting nozzles but should have at least 50% functioning nozzles.

Just bought a used VJ-1617H. It has a post-it on the back "MP11 Ink Only!". I'm curious if this is from a negative experience from a 3rd party ink. I will be asking STS for a few user contacts that are presently using this MP11 replacement. Are their any S101ers that have some...

Just purchased a non-operational Mutoh 1617H. It's going to need about a month's work to get it going. Want to buy - a used DX7 DG-43988 head that is electronically solid. It can have clogged/deflecting nozzles but should have at least 50% functioning nozzles.

Is there any way to trim a very complex set of paths that leaves the trimmed edge open? Corel closes all the paths which is adding unnecessary linear inches to a CNC file that I'm working on. (...might have just figured it out. by combining all of the paths, then opening up a node connection...

I've decided (my gf actually) that it's time to part out the JV3 160SP. Before I went another direction with my business, I'd just put three new dx4's in the printer. They were from a Epson 10,000 head assembly and strangely had Mimaki ranks under layers of other ranks (roland and mutoh). I...

Well this repair is getting worrisome. I really need any tidbit of advice or past observations on this one from current/past H700 users. There's no way where I am (shutdown for the year to reorganize) that I can switch printers or throw money at the current 1000lb paper weight. It simply has...

i have an issue (printer worked perfectly yesterday). my printer "runs" the file/print but nothing comes out of any of the heads. blank on test print, blank on printing a file. i got two errors that may be related (i get errors here and there that you can just "try again" and you're good to...

I am embarrassed to admit that I got very caught up in designing my new business and left my printer dormant for about 3 months. I walked by it fifty times a day but never once asked "should I decommission this thing?" Yesterday I needed to crank it up and the heads were, as expected toast...

for those of you that have to crate occasionally. it's a drag. and it usually looks like an industrial orwellian widget is inside. i took to figuring out a super quick, light, strong crating system over the last several shipments and i think this is maybe a beta of the final design. it...

i haven't turned my H700 on for several weeks. upon hitting the on button i hear the vacuums crank up, then a *BONK* noise. i notice that the carriage is not moving back and forth for cleaning. i turn the printer off, unplug it, even unplug the carriage motor. the carriage is locked in...

having an odd issue with the cleaning tray on my printer rising and lowering. 1. have changed out the "wiper control board" with a spare that i had. same behavior remains. 2. when i manually turn the gear so that it raises and then do a cleaning cycle, the bottom gear on the motor bumps a...

i have a set of panels that were installed at the Sierra Providence Hospital in El Paso a few weeks ago. my shop is located in the houston area (11 hour drive). two different adhesives were used on this project. 8 panels got sika-bond. never had an issue with this adhesive. two panels...

(still an extreme h700 novice here. use this printer about once a month for 20 minutes) i need to tweak a few settings in my parameters. seems i'm missing the "advanced" option in the motor tab(?) ___ i have firmware v1.4.0.1 (installed 2009). oddly my manual shows firmware v1.107 (2005)...

i need to alter the width of the printed image. when i get to "Preview and Size" tab. i see little locks next to "Width", "Height", and "Magnification". i need to constrain the height, but slightly compress the width. i've calculated that i need to compress it .996%. when i hit "apply" i...

never noticed that my printer is printing wide. (daytona h700) just did a test and it printed a 55" x 55" box results 55" deep exact 55 3/16" wide? how does one adjust the horizontal width? the rip shows no compensation or the firmware window that i can see. thanks! aa
