  1. VJ-1624 Main Board replacement

    The 2.5 amp fuses on the main board are fine, but the 750mA fuse is bad! That’s the print head fuse. I ordered a few of them. Thanks Ucma!
  2. VJ-1624 Main Board replacement

    Thank you for the excellent info! I see “The MAIN board-unique adjustment parameters cannot be erased or modified” now. I haven’t seen the main board physically and didn’t see any indication of fuses yet. I’ll look for them!
  3. VJ-1624 Main Board replacement

    I have VJ-1624 that will not print anything including the nozzle check. The owner had attempted to fix the printer and accidentally reconnected the print head data cables while it was still powered on. I have replaced the print head, head data cables (Head FFC - DG-42385), CR Board, and...
  4. Need Help! Ink flow slows during printing

    Umca, thank you again! The heater temperature was always ok before, but apparently with the greater ink flow, higher temperature fixed the bleeding issue. It was an obvious fix that I didn’t think of because it was never an issue before. Also, I get perfect nozzle checks now, the magenta...
  5. Need Help! Ink flow slows during printing

    I installed the OEM Mutoh dampers and they work great! Now I have a couple different issues, the ink output seems too high, it’s bleeding on the edges of colors especially black on yellow. Also a few nozzles on one magenta row aren’t working, possibly because the head was starving for ink for...
  6. Need Help! Ink flow slows during printing

    I’ll check that out on Monday when I get back to the shop. The new OEM Mutoh dampers will arrive then as well. I will keep the old maintenance station just in case that it is still good. I have a VJ-1624 I can put it in. I also sent in the old head for cleaning. I can put the old cleaned...
  7. Need Help! Ink flow slows during printing

    Thanks for the info. I looked for new dampers and found some from the same company at about 10x the price. They appear to be OEM Mutoh. I wished those showed first when I searched for new replacement dampers. This is what I just purchased...
  8. Need Help! Ink flow slows during printing

    I hadn’t thought about the dampers being an issue because I’ve always gotten good hardware from Digiprint-Supplies. I replaced the maintenance station yesterday and I got a beautiful perfect test print. (Photo attached.) Then this afternoon when the printer was used again for the first time...
  9. Need Help! Ink flow slows during printing

    Thanks for the info. I did learn that same lesson when I replaced a maintenance station and it gave me a month of grief. It was a bad maintenance station. I purchased another maintenance station (a known good brand!) yesterday and it just arrived so I’ll be replacing that today. Hopefully...
  10. Need Help! Ink flow slows during printing

    I used the dampers from DigiPrint-Supplies. This is the link of the dampers I purchased: https://us.digiprint-supplies.com/en/mutoh-dx6-roland-dx7-valve-head-assy-damper-pdavj161401o2
  11. Need Help! Ink flow slows during printing

    Hi, I just replaced the print head and dampers on a VJ-1324. I followed the “VJ-1324 Maintenance Manual” to the letter. The first nozzle check was perfect, an awesome sight. But subsequent nozzle checks will show missing spots and the ink flow will reduce on every color during printing. I can...
  12. Print head damage, is ribbon replaceable?

    Thanks VanderJ. I like what I see at your website. I was looking at DigiPrint Supplies for the head, they're here in Florida but they don't have the support you have and I don't think they have it in stock either. Do you have DG-43988 Print Head in Stock? Would you be able to ship out on...
  13. Print head damage, is ribbon replaceable?

    I bet you're right! I like the idea of having good customer support and tech support from Solventinkjet.com.
  14. Print head damage, is ribbon replaceable?

    I found a new print-head at a site called demawati.com. Reviews call it a safe site (the website itself), but still seems like a scam at $576.72. Can anyone confirm that this site is a scam? (I did find one website listing websites that are scams, demawati was one of them.)
  15. Print head damage, is ribbon replaceable?

    Thanks for your comment. I was afraid of that, needing to replace the whole head. You mentioned a lot of head strikes? As in the head hitting something while printing? Before I saw the printer, the owner said someone else had attempted to fix it. We were thinking that person had...
  16. Print head damage, is ribbon replaceable?

    These are photos of a head from a Mutoh VJ-1324XS that wasn’t printing well on some channels. I quickly saw the ribbon was torn on BOTH sides! I’m surprised that it still prints anything. (How do these ribbons usually get torn?) I didn’t remove the head off the manifold to see if the ribbon...
