Hows everyone doing? I'm new to signs101. I have a Mimaki JV3-130SPII I just bought with a parts machine for $2500. It sat for a little while, the guy turned it on here and there to pump the ink. Well I got it to my house and the inks werent printing other than magenta. but After getting the Syringe out i got all the colors to start printing great other than Black. I can not get black to fire at all. The capping station doesn't even have black Residue on it. I tried cleaning it and still nothing. I replaced one of the dampers because it had a whole in the plastic piece and refilled both of them with a syringe and still doesn't fire. I have 4 extra heads that came with it but there all bad. I'm afraid that the head might be clogged. I tried going in the back of the printer where the ink pump is and using a syringe to pull the ink from there while i'm running a fill ink on the printer and nothing comes. What else would i need to check before i go and spend 800 dollars on a new one.
