Yet, another freaking problem

[MrNick86]

So I begin printing my first bed today and after 6 inches yellow cuts out, but not completely. One of the two heads is firing every other column of nozzles. I saw that "artbot" had addressed this issue months back, except his was only half of the head doing so. I disconnected the data cable to find it pooled with ink. After cleaning the cable, adapter, and the top of the head I still had the same problem. Swapping the cable and even the data adapter gave the same result eliminating the those and the headboard from the equation. Is this the result of a dead head, or should I say "half dead", lol?

Please take a look, if there is any other things I can try to test before replacing the head it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Did you purge the individual lines? Seems like you may have air between head and ink buffer.

If you've already done the purge through the vent tube, I would say the print head is shot.

That looks electrical to me. If you are sure that you ruled everything else out I would say the head is shot.

Hello Nick,

have you tried to pass thru flush thru the printhead? It would give you an indication if heads are clogged or head electronics have gone bad. If you have tried to connect yellow head to cyan or magenta channel and it still exhibits the same registration, in my opinion the head is shot.
