Thanks. I can see why, just put the original back in (which is white rubber) and straight away the wiper action works, though now it looks like I've some cleaning to do, and hoping that my heads are okay. Test prints are from from what they were previously :(

Still no joy on this, Managed to get the tab out shown in the red box, but it's as if something at the rear left side is still attached.. I managed to wiggle it lose some, as it looked like a possible extra tab there but to no avail. I'm still planning (and needing!) to do this repair but am in...

Absolutely at a loss on how to replace the wiper holder on this, I've undone the motor etc, but the actual metal housing although now moveable at the front seems attached somewhere at the rear, page 28 of the manual shows a screw S1, what's the easiest way to get to it, and will it allow me to...

I figured as much, hence replaced the originals and scraper to troubleshoot. Having not had one of these before I can't compare to a fully working machine. Also, when it's wiping, the head blocks view so couldn't see if it was catching or even cleaning at all - is there even a way to get the...

Thanks, after maintenance I've already decided I'll be moving the location of the printer to a better heated environment.

Thanks, I cleaned off ink and glued it up when I spotted it but wanted to make sure it was the right piece as it seemed like this would rub down the plastic over time. How's the holder to replace? I've had the wiper housing off but not sure if it's as simple as removing the motor and front then...

Much cleaner in there now, but here's what I mean, plastic from holder moves against the metal on the right side, there's even a slight visible groove. This photo when I was about to change wipers.

Slightly off topic: I assumed room/ink temperature would make a difference to prints, often below 10c here, my printer doesn't have this temperature check afaik. Troubleshooting other possibly related issues, what are the issues expected from printing in a cold environment?

After cleaning and changing cap tops, wipers and scraper I realised from images online that my wiper holder had a tiny part missing (on the right above the carriage, holding the wiper horizontal), I found the small piece of plastic under the sponge below, cleaned and glued it on, noisier, but...

Update on this, discovered a little piece of plastic under the wiper holder which had obviously broken off at some time, attempted to glue this back on and after a few cleans I've been getting much better test prints, not perfect but getting there. It's given me a chance to clean what was an ink...

Well that goes in in a funky kinda way (the scraper)! Okay, replaced captops, wipers and scraper... Wipers and scrapers from digiprint - one heck of a noise when it tries to move the wiper, doesn't sound normal at all, not even convinced it's able to move from the back position. Printing worse...

That the screw on the right yeah?

Okay, wipers were absolutely covered in thick ink, as was the surrounding area (but there was plenty ink all over when I got it from previous owners very amateur repair attempts), wipers cleaned until new ones arrive, same with scraper. Thanks :) One thing I will mention as not sure if it's...

I'll leave the bottoms alone for now, after replacing 4 heads they scare me! I'm shaking at the thought of even replacing the dampers lol

Clean the bottom of the heads, or just around the edges (I was always lead to believe just to go around the outside and not on the bottom of the head itself)? Caps ordered, new wipers and scraper, I probably should have added dampers to the order, oh well! It's probably due new caps for sure...

Aha, the only thing I hadn't tried was via the menu, I'll have a look at them tomorrow and get wipers and scraper replaced. Thanks for the fast response. Any idea why I'd have it printing okay and then hardly any ink the following morning? Just feels like while I'm giving it a bit of a service...

After what was actually a short time not in use, ink was hardly coming through, I've taken all the pipes off from the caps to the drain and cleaned all of these, as well as a regular manual clean to the caps and the head. Sucked the ink through the head to get it going and the next print was 99%...
