1. Cartridges Cleaning Problem:
Main problem:
1) Ink accumulated at printer waste-ink tank, when printing, color mixed.
2) Printer does cleaning procedures automatically.
3) The light indicator on the printer flashing alternately
Settlement:
When do cleaning procedures, it can dredge printer head, get rid of the ink
with air bubble, and keep good printing output. However, there is waste-ink
calculator in each Epson printer, when it is full, the
light indicator will be flashing alternately. Then, you need to send the
printer to maintenance center, and clear the calculator to zero. Now, I think
you can see you'd better try to do less cleaning. Sometimes, when you do
cleaning, you maybe hear some special noise, then you need to stop cleaning,
and cleaning the ink leaked out, keep printer silence for about 30 minutes, then
this problem can be settled naturally.
For waste-ink calculator, if you need do a lot of printing work, we suggest you
to clear the calculator to zero when you use out one full set of system ink (600ml)
each time according to EPSON maintenance software.
2. Ink Problem:
Main problem:
1) When print test pages, you find line missing on one color or several color,
but other colors are ok, even after do many cleaning, things keep the same.
2) During printing, you always find wire blocked, printer head blocked or line
missing for some colors (most time is the same color).
3) Print output is much difference from original picture.
4) When print photos, the performance is without high resolution and
brilliancy.
5) You can find sediment in the ink of external ink tank.
Settlement:
Above said is resulted from ink quality, suggest you to use our brand
ink. Now there are a lot of ink manufacturer, but the quality is much
difference. After our test, only a few brand ink is
with stable quality, and even less with equal quality to Epson original ink.
General speaking, the ink for continuous inking system should be better than
for compatible cartridges, and the ink for compatible cartridges will be better
than some bulk packed refill ink.
Our ink is made according to our own formula, the performance is vivid with
high resolution, and the character is very good for our continuous inking
system.
If you just purchase empty system from us, and use your own ink, you should do
some main test on your ink as following:
1. Ink will not block all wires during six month
2. There is no ink sediment during three month.
3. There is no ink dry piece and block printer head in one month.
4. There is no serious line or color missing in 15 days.
5. There is no line missing at next days in five days.
6. After installation finished, the cleaning times will not over three(including natural cleaning)
7. When printing, just light color declination, but black
color is good.
3. Color resolution problem:
Main problem:
1) After printing, color file become black output.
2) Printing output is much different from original file or even to the
contrary.
Settlement:
Check printing selection to see if you have chosen B&W INK or BLACK OUTPUT,
if be sure not , do printing nozzle test, printing test pages, if find serious
line missing, please try again. After three times cleaning later, things keep
same, please reference to " Air bubble remove
from ink cartridge".
When line test ok, please printing four color or six color block(according to
printer model) and contrast it to original color block, try to find our if make
mistake on cartridge order. General speaking, the order with four color is
Y→M→C→BK; the order with six color is Y→LM→M→LC→C→BK. If cartridges are in
wrong order, please take off the ink wire of continuous inking system and clean
them clearly, then change the cartridges to new ones.
4. Lubricating problem:
Main problems:
1) During cartridge holder moving, it crush the left and right side of printer,
and make special noise.
2) Paper insert button is not work and can't insert new paper.
3) Paper insert indicator light is flashing and shows Signal Error.
4) Printing place is not right and to the left.
Settlement:
These problems main happen on Epson printer 700/780/1200, resulted from the
bounce of cartridge holder belt, when you lubricate the cartridge holder rail,
these problems can be settled.
Use clean paper to wipe some LB-A lubricating oil on the rail, pull cartridge
holder back and forth and let the rail share lubricating oil equally (Do not spray
or drop the oil to the rail directly), then go on following steps:
·When printer is on, pull
out power wire, then cartridge holder .
·Find out a white piece that
under the black cartridge's holder.
·Use tweezers to pull down(forward) this whiter piece, pull out cartridge holder
from the right.
·Then push cartridge holder
to the left till it can't move.
·Plug on power wire.
·Now cartridge holder belt
will reset his place, and cartridge holder will stop at original right side.
5. Problem on Installation:
Main problems:
1) During printing, red indicator light is on.
2) During printing, ink wire always crushes with two sides of printer body.
3) Not well stick the wire rack.
Settlement:
The ink wire length can't be too long, adjust it to the right size.
·If ink wire is too long, it
will crush the printer body during printing. During printing, pull out power
wire, use hand to move cartridge holder to the right and then to the left,
adjust wire length.
·If ink wire is too short,
it will also cause red indicator light flashing during printing, you also need
adjust length according above step.
·Ink wire crushing with
printer body always happen on Epson printer 780/790/810/820/830/C61 etc., the
upside body of these printer is in arc shape. If use softer or lighter wire,
this problem can be reduced, but it will cause ink blocked problem. Our ink
wire is up to the need of continuous inking system, if you well install the
system, it can work well.
·If you can't well fix the
rack, just please change with new sponge sticker.
6. Long time no work on printer:
Main problems:
1) Printer has not been used for about one month, now it can't work as usual.
2) Printer is not often used, three month later printer have problem on
printing.
Settlement:
If long time no use on printer, it may cause following three cases:
·If external tank ink
surface is lower than printer head, ink will flow back to the tank stronger
than to the ink cartridges, so air bubble will resulted at ink cartridges, when
printing, you will find line missing.
·When printer head at
original right side, if rubber seal can't well cover printer head, the air will
come in and damage printer head, ink will be dry or oxygen.
·If put printer in the environment of high temperature, dry circumstances, or
under direct sunshine, this will result the ink in the wire or printer head to
be volatilization, dry or oxygen.
Following measures will settle above problems, please do accordingly:
·If you will not use printer
for long time, please print test sheet, you'd better print about 10 pages of
four color or six color block, and be sure test result is good.
·Do print cleaning step,
when cartridge holder at original right side, pull out power wire, move
cartridge holder to left side by hand, use wet mop to clean the rubber seal(at
right side of printer) carefully, then move back cartridge holder to the right
side by hand.
·Check ink surface in
external tank, do not let ink surface lower than printer head.
·Store printer and
continuous system in the environment without high temperature and direct
sunshine.
7. Air leak on ink cartridges:
Main problems:
1) During use, one ink wire exist long air bubble
2) During use, all ink wire exist long air bubble
Settlement:
When install continuous inking system, there will exist a little space with air
bubble always(under
8. Damage on cartridge chips:
Main problems:
1) Ink indicator light is in red, it will not change after reopen
2) It is no use even you reset the chips by chip decoder machine
3) When press print head cleaning button, it is no work.
4) Cancel the printing procedures, light is still in red
5) Reopen the computer, light is keep in red.
Settlement:
1) For Epson printer, when you take out cartridges and re-install, it will
result line missing, you need do cleaning or testing procedures for several
times.
2) If cartridges with chips, please check following cases:
·Not well install ink
cartridges
·Not well fix the chips
·Chip pin on the cartridge
holder is deformed
·Chips have been damaged
When you well install the cartridges and fix the chips, you can settle first
and second case, but for third case, it result by taking out the cartridge
without well fixed chip in rude, you need ask maintenance person to take out
print head, adjust chip pin or change a new one. For fourth cases, it happens
when you use chip decoder to reset the chips, and you can use another chip
decoder to have a try, if no use, you can only change the chips. Continuous
inking system is equipped with permanent chips, you no need to take out the
cartridges for chip decode, so it much reduce the possibility of chip damage.
3) Except use chip decoder to reset chips, there are a lot of software to reset
the chips, but some software will damage the printer, so you can only do this
under the instruction of experienced person.
9. Ink wire blockage:
Main problems:
1) When you use injector to draw out ink for many times, most drawn out is air.
2) You can't find one color entirely (most is black color)
Settlement:
First take procedures as "pump air from ink cartridge", if you find
there is no ink flowing into the injector after hard pump, you can be sure the
ink wire is blocked, and please do according following steps:
·Cartridge nozzle is
blocked.
Seal all the plugs of external ink tank, turn it over, use injector to draw out
the ink from cartridge nozzle, then it can be dredged.
·Joint elbow is blocked.
Pull out the joint elbow from the upside of cartridges, check if it is blocked.
If yes, use clean water to clean it, then use injector to dredge it.
·Ink wire blocked.
If you are sure cartridge nozzle and joint elbow is dredged, use injector to
draw ink from the cartridge nozzle, if ink surface at external tank will not
lower, you can be sure ink wire is blocked. You can first check if there is
foreign body at the two sides of ink wire, if yes, try to dredge it. If other
parts of the wire blocked, you can only contact with our local distributor.
·Air filter at external tank
is blocked.
Please check air filter, and clean it.
Note: If you have any other problems with this Continuous Ink
System, please contact the local dealer before you returned the whole system.
