I hate my landlord, can someone help

[Mike Christen]

Hello all

I was away on vacation and my landload turned off power for a week to change ac. I have a roland sp300 and guess what happened, heads plugged. I have cleaned and cleaned, got all working mostly except for the black, nothing at all. I was able to get the blue working by using a syringe at the capping station tube but no black (same head). Is there a way to force ink through the black portion of the head only?? Any suggestions what to do?

Thanks

you mean the manifold. there are a couple ways. the most common is to fix a damper to a line that is about a foot long. then attach a syringe to the other end of the line and gently push cleaning solution into the head manifold.

you have to be very gentle because the head doesn't like positive pressure like that. also your head manifold may be dried up. for that, take out the head and take off the manifold. either put the manifold in ultrasonic or just jet cleaning solution through it.

Thanks Artbot

I will do some research in the service manual to better understand what you just explained. I never have been into the dampers, manifold or heads yet. Im currently soaking the head so maybe i will get lucky with that. BTW power was off to the printer for about a week.

Thanks Again
Mike

Did the landlord notify you that he was going to be turning all the power off in your rental unit?

 

[artbot]

here's a screen capture from a head replacement manual for a mimaki. it shows the general set up for the syringe. if you want, i can email you the entire manual which will give you a better idea of how the heads are screwed in and the removal of the dampers, etc.

Minus well tell the landload you'll be deducting a few bucks from his rent.

1 week w/o power will not clog a head if they are capped when the power goes out.

Wait, what's a "landload" Is that all the property in the US that absolutely NOBODY wants? (no offense Mosh).

This reminded me of the SNL skit with Eddy Murphy where he reads a poem and one of the lines was," Kill my landload, kill my landload..."

If you incur any costs or lost business I would absolutely take this up with your landlord. They are legally required to give you X days notice in writing before doing anything like this. If they just shut your power off for a week without notifying you or without your knowledge you should raise holy hell. A printer unplugged for a week is a recipe for clogged heads. Maybe they're recoverable, maybe they're not, but one way or another it's going to cost you money, time or lost sales because of down time, and that responsibility falls solely on your landlord for their lack of notification.

Really?

If you need a Roland Tech I know someone local and his rates are very reasonable. Let me know and I'll give you his e-mail address.

They are??

So what kind of notice is required for some drunk to take out a power pole?....

None, I prefer being sober and attaching a good chain to a decent sized truck for best results. Going higher will give you the best leverage. Be careful of the wires.

I would be curious to see where they are required to notify you. Did you notify them that you had equipment that was sensitive to the power being turned off? That would make a difference.

Not always possible, but a good idea to get a friend or relative to check on your place for you when on vacation.
