Mimaki JFX200-2513 Printer is missing entire yellow color

[nyprintasign]

Hi, All： Our Mimaki Jfx200-2513 printer suddenly printed out abnormal color during printing. After doing test printing, it shows that entire yellow ink is missed (see attached image). After doing heavy clearing, a little yellow ink came out. We did something else, adjust pressure, air purge (no yellow ink discharge) without any improvement. The problem probably resulted from quick dropping-down clime temperature. Appreciate for any kind assistance!

Usually cross-contamination on the colors, in my experience, tends to be nasty wipers. Clean those well and try a nozzle wash.

If there is no yellow moving at all with an air purge, might be a line clog or similar. Make sure to run the purge a few cycles to get things moving I've had UV ink solidify in lines before, even without light getting in, but it was after a lot of sitting up. Since yellow is out on all heads, likely an ink line or supply valve issue. No service manual on these guys in my collection, so don't have part numbers or diagrams handy.

Also, use the Mimaki sub-forum next time, easier for us Mimaki nerds to spot in there. You're in the classifieds.

Ensure the ink cartridge solenoid is operating, and if not, just jam it open until you get another.
