So I purchased a Mutoh prismjet extra 48 second hand, print shop was upgrading. It seems to have the same parts as a rockhopper or falcon outdoor. The machine has sat for several years and I started it up last night. I'm wondering how you would proceed. The lines were flushed and ran with cleaning fluid before shutdown. It seems like the lines are good, but not sure how to confirm for sure.
1. Should i just not even try to salvage the parts, replace the heads, dampers, and entire maintenance station?
2. It was just printing all blue, now I've got some black. 4 out of the 6 dampers have fresh ink in them, 1 the catridge is just empty, not sure about the last one. Is this a sign the heads are ruined? SInce its not printing any red even though I can see fresh ink in the damper?
3. Any other suggestions for cleaning or what I should try?
4. Stupid newbie question... do I need cleaning cartridges for all 6 ink slots? Unless I have a cartridge in all 6 slots it wont let me do much of anything.
