NovaJet Pro problem
Got a NovaJet Pro 36, having trouble keeping the yellow ink in the line. After sucking it through and priming the cartridge, I start to print and the ink just drains back into the reservoir. I know the ink feed works on a vacuum system, but if there was a hole surely the ink would leak out.
Very frustrating !!! 😥

unfortunately air is thinner than ink so a air leak in dint equal a ink leak out all of the time – from my experience with these carts its more likely to be either the cart or the connection to it. the top of the cart where the lid fits on has to be air tight – did it just happen or after you changed something

Hi’
some times putting a small smear of silicon around where the clear pipe joins the connector, (that goes into the cartridge) can stop the ink going back, the old Graphtec JX1 used the same connectors and when they have been flexed a small leak can happen 99 times out of a 100 this cures it.
cheers

I didn’t change anything, it just started draining in the middle of a print run. I’ve already changed the cart, maybe the leak is further down the line.[/quote]

the ink tubes often crack either on the needle join or further down the ink line. The ink lines are available to replace as a whole or a needle repair kit is also available.
If the ink is just stopping mid print then when you fill up the ink cartridge fill up with 30 ml rather than the 20 ml recommended.
