VS-640 random magenta prints
Hi Chaps
Any ideas whats causing this? pulling my hair out. Nozzle print is fine and I’ve tried diff network cables and even a diff PC so thinking its def a printer based problem.
Its not started overnight just one or twice over the past few weeks and now its every inch or so.
Im hoping its not the main board and a simple fix
any help or ideas is much appreciated
Thanks in advanced
Robert

I hate to say it, but that’s got me stumped!! I would guess at printhead but it would be a guess. It’s probably worth starting with the cheaper stuff like head cable and working your way through it.

I hope it’s not the printhead as it was replaced by QPS last year. It it’s roughly in the same place at least with in an inch. Will try the cable. Wonder if it’s worth replacing the encoder strips as well ?
-
Yeah, possibly. Particularly if it’s in the same place across the width of the machine. Have you inspected it for damage around the area of the encoder?
-
Not as yet. Will have a look tomorrow. Had to walk away from it before I pulled all my hair out. Managed to get jobs printed and can still print all be it my wasting 400mm on the right side of the machine

Just a quick update, seem to have found the issue.
one of the head cables worn through, new one ordered and fitted but managed to
upset a damper when I was fitting the new cable 🙁so new dampers ordered hopefully happy days
Cheers for the help Stafford

Wow, what in Earth happened to that!! 🙂 Well spotted.

It was near the head side of the ink and cable chain. The metal support that’s sandwiched between The cables and ink lines was protruding past the plastic supports
