Hi everyone and thanks in advance for taking the time to read this your help is greatly appreciated so here it goes....
Bought a 2nd hand machine was running great then had an issue with black head one side dried up the other was fine so I changed all the cap tops that needed changing changed wiper and dampers & realized I still had same problem so I had a further look at the black damper and seen that there was no black coming into it as I was using the syringe but heard this gurgling sound at first I though it was coming from the black ink line where the line splits just before the cartridge so I replaced the Orings thinking that might solve it ( failed ) so then I figured it out cartridge was empty forgot to mention I'm on bulk ink system so when I looked in top ink reservoir it was full cartridge was just blocked, problem solved so I put machine back together and it asked to re-install inks so I went through the process started up machine done a test print heads are now fine one or two nozzles not firing but that's not a problem my problem is when I print a CMYK Block black is yellow yellow is black cyan is magenta and so on I'm running versaworks done a test print on that and its not right but when I do a test print from the machine it's fine, I did mess around in the service mode but only after all this was happening and I only messed around with ink change settings so here is the funny part somehow I managed to get it to print correctly in Dye mode when it should have been in eco solmax lc lm mode but when I POWER down software forces me to revert back to eco sol lc lm or eco sol max lc lm and prints are in reverse colour again, tried re-installing versawork ( failed ) issue still there.
I will upload some pictures and any questions you have I will answer as best as I can
Thanks again
Stephen
