My dtg kiosk printer is going on 3 years. recently i was having trouble with my printing head drying out, plus i had starvation with the white ink. i replaced the capping station wiper assembly, blades. and even the carraige.now the ink flow is great and the print head doesnt dry out anymore.
Now the printer will print nice on one shirt. but it will puke color all over the next. by puke i mean it will make a high pitched beep then empty out all the colors by printing out a dark bar of color the full length of the drawer. this problem will appear anytime. even if im doing a white pass it will still spew out all colors in one dark bar right in the middle of a print. I have both cleaned the encoder strip and lubricated the carriage bars. i still have the puking issue.
has anybody else had this problem?
one thing i might add. the tubing that is glued to the plastic strip running to the print head is starting to let loose and the strip is starting to curl a bit. I have to keep staightening it out about every 10 prints. I thought this might might be the culprit but the print head moves freely to both ends. so im not sure this is whats causing it. anyone out there know?
Any help is appreciated.
