If your printer is shot this guy can help. Also try some different material and heat settings.

The nozzle check is ok there are one spot in the black and one in the magenta and i cant get them out I have been trying to figure out how to do a alignment but i am not understanding the Manuel very well.

white streaks = alignment issue. I dont have a mutoh so i dunno how to fix it.

Then it really sounds like you need a tech.

I would love to have a tech, except they want over $1000 just to get them out here to SW ks to look at it. I did get an alignment done it was off but still have streaks.

You can try different wave forms, that might help.
And you can do head soaks to see if you can recover more nozzles.


Curious, how do you know alignments are off?

How do you do a head soak?


I did an alignment check

 

[randya]

You can search here for head soak.

Basically you wet with cleaning soluiton (you can gut a cleaning cart or buy a bottle of cleaner from your dealer) a lint free wiper and place it on the capping station and park the head over it. Rewet every 15-20 minutes. This supplies cleaning solution to the nozzle plate (where most plugged nozzles are plugged).

The alignment check from the front panel is NOT as accurate or correct as the check in maintenance mode.

I will try this thank you for your help!!!

Do a couple of cleanings from the front panel, should clear right up.
