printhead

A couple months ago I started losing black nozzles on my printer after a few head soaks and cleanings it was back to normal. It worked great for one print then just started dropping nozzles like crazy immediately afterwards. Ended up replacing the capping station, printhead, dampers and print...

After picking up a sc500 recently for a deal , (yes I know they are very old and have read most peoples opinions of the machine, but it is what it is, I run a small business from home). The previous owner replaced almost every consumable component except for the print heads, after setting up the...

Hiya, I'm after a dx7 printhead, preferably an older one with coding f and below, this can be found on the bottom of the sticker on the printhead. Very much appreciated, thanks in advance

Hey guys. I printed some signs last week and noticed there was magenta ink down the side of the printed vinyl which wasn't meant to be there. I then done a test print and the magenta and cyan is barely showing up on the print. I'll add some pictures to show. I tried cleaning group a print...

We purchased an HP Latex 560 back in April. We have not had any real problems with it; just a few user-created errors while we learn the machine. Now, I am getting concerned that it may be about time to replace some printheads, but I have no idea how to tell when I should. This is my current...

I have a HP Latex 310 printer. I was running 10 posters and on the last set of posters i noticed some banding in my prints. I immediately thought this might be due to a bad printhead. I ran a printhead alignment, printhead cleaning option and then ran the printhead plot. Here is a photo of...

Hello, Anyone on here know of a good Mutoh tech in the Houston/ south texas area, I am in need of a print head replacement, and it is something that i am not willing to do. I have had several issues with this printer and I have expended all possible options. I have replaced the pump assembly...

Hi, I have a Roland SC-500 printer and wanted to know what printhead type I have, for example, is it a DX2, DX3, DX4, etc. I'm getting mixed messages that it might be DX2 or DX3, but I need to know 100% for sure. My documentation does not tell me anything and I don't want to rip it out of the...

Hi, I have recently blown my heads trying to recover some bad nozzles. I need to order printheads from overseas (im based in Aus) as local costs too much. Im using Roland VersaCamm Sp540i but the listing for part number (1000002201) sign-in-china listings say its not for my printer. Can you...

Wondering if anyone has been able to bring a Summa DC4 printhead back to life after a "blown pixel" diagnosis. I have a DC4sx we just brought in from our warehouse that hasn't been operating for several years I'd like to get back in our shop workflow. Done all the particulars to clean...

Looking for purchase of a manifold for my DX5 print head. I need the part asap and am looking for a US vendor. International may take too long to arrive. Mutoh VJ1204

Was printing like normal today, media loaded, media clamps installed, and something very weird happened. The print heads crashed into the media clamps. My only guess is that somehow the semi rigid media (thick-ISH paper) pushed the clamps up into the print heads and they collided. It crashed...

I need help from you wonderful guys! My Galaxy printer (UD161LC) is about 6months old and has been printing excellently well until recently. Actually I didn't know how to set the "Auto cleaning" until the problems arrived as the printhead began to overspray. In other to correct this problem, I...

Hello, we have a ecosolvent printer Oce CS 9160 and we are thinking of buying a new printhead. The problem is that when I looked online for a oce CS9160 printhead, I can't find one ! When the machine starts, it says MUTOH Valuejet 1614, so I suppose the head is DX5 (at least it looks like). I...

Anyone know how to get the Printhead usage, hours/minutes. I am using Omega 2.0 and there is nothing on the web page for my FX that has anything with printhead. Thanks for any help.

Not sure where to go with this and Grimco is a bit slow responding. This pic is on Avery 1005 but it happens on all vinyl medias. (Only really see it on dark heavy coverage though) We have: Replaced all printheads Increased vacume in profile Increased heat Tried other profiles Printhead...

WOuld like to know if the print head should be in the down position when placing the printer into sleep mode. I know it will go through cleaning cycles during the night, but my concern is the print head drying in the upward position. I always turn the printer off when finished at the end of the...

So our aging L25500 has decided to start having some gremlins and I didn't know if anyone had some suggestions to hold us over till we spring for a new printer. Essentially what happens is after the printer sits for a length of time, say overnight, a variable amount of PH#3 will decide to not...

I've got an issue with my Y printhead (assuming its the damper in the head), I've tried soaking it for a couple hours in NMP fluid and my Y ink is still dropping out. It started with Air in the Y line, replaced multiple "o"rings and have finally got the line sealed up and still having issues...

Hi everyone. You will probably think I'm a bit weird because I'm using the L26500 just for a bit of a hobby rather than a serious business. Mainly because it came up at an ok price and I took a gamble that it would work ok. I replaced a couple of printheads to get the machine working when I...
