Hi, I need help to resolve my big problem! 2 months ago my printer did big bandingon printing! After having tried print head, i have change the head carriage and resolved my print head problem. But now when i print with magenta it will print between 4-10'' and after no magenta. I press pause and wait 3 secondes and continue and magenta goes out until 2-3 inch. so i make cleaning and continue for 3-5 inch. I have exchange left head with right head thought that if the problem is the head i will miss yellow but no all was good. i have change damper=same problem. i have tried to exchange Lm damper's and M damper's=same problem. Clean caping station tubes and check if air is block at seconde step and it no air leak and tubes are clean. I have exchange o ring of dampers and o ring of the back of the cartdrige. Can see ink in the drain tube of the pump and pump seems working good. I have tried unidirectionnal and it same. Now i have isolate lot of possibility, not dampers, not print heads,not pump, not caping station and not ink. My dampers are filled more than an half. So could you tell me what i can do or try to resolve it! I have sc-500 with paralele port via network. Flexi rip 10.5. I have already seen this type of problem in the past but it was yellow missing so i had change the print head and all was fixed but now i'm unable to resolve it. I cant let my printer himself to print.
Thanks
