Default new print head....

hey everyone! I went away for a week and thought leaving my printer on running a head cleaning every 6 hours it would be ok...Opps! I was wrong...I need a new printhead for my Kiosk II and was wondering if anyone knew where I could get one for the cheapest price? Thanks in advance, Nick

Try either compassmicro.com or dtginks.com, I think the prices are pretty close from both places, and cheaper then Mesa or SWF. Hope this helps

Invoking a simple cleaning every 6 hours should have no effect on the print head unless it was starting to delaminate before this by using harsh chemicals, I would suspect this to be the case.

A week is a long time to leave any direct to garment printer unused. If you plan to do this in the future I would suggest either flushing the white ink channels and filing with flushing solution or at the very least make sure the capping station, wiper and edges of the printhead are sparkling clean (also - empty the waste ink bottle) - verify that you have a good nozzle check right before you leave as well. If at all possible, have someone come in a print a shirt with the machine mid-week to reduce the actual downtime.
