I would try running a repair on the Rip-Pro software!
Help, My Kiosk is leaking ink all over shirts
Hey Guys,
I have a DTG Kiosk that I've had for aproximatly 3 years that has developed a problem. I bought It second hand so I can't get any help from SWF East without paying a huge support contract fee.
When I bought it 3 years ago it was 6 months ago and I talked to SWF East before I bought it and after and they even helped me set it up and now, No help. And I buy my ink from The Colman Company at the same address.
Anyways, Hoply someone on here has had the same problem as I don't want to spend alot of money on parts that won't fix it. I'm attaching a picture of what I'm getting. I will start up printer and it will give a good nozle check and so I load shirt and send my design, I usually do this design with 2 passes and It will usually will do the first pass ok. I then send the second pass and the machine will go bazirk and print extra ink all over the place.
I have replaced the ribbon cable and encoder strip.Still have the same problem, I had a older head that was partly clogged laying around so I also tried that head and It even though I wasn't geting good ink flow, The head was spraying ink all over where it wasn't needed.
So I'm pretty sure its not the head causing my problem. Any help will greatly be appreciated.
I have started outsourcing my shirts to another company doing dtg printing as I needed to get shirts moving. I usually only do pictures on shirts and I do about 200 dtg shirts a year so I'm also considering dumping this dtg machine as a parts machine on EBAY and just continuing to outsource my shirts. My only problem right now is that I'm outsourcing to a company on west coast and it takes 4 days to get to me. Is there any company I can outsource to in the midwest. I'm in Wisconsin.
Thanks
Jeff
