Hello, I see ink leakage on the ink cartridge side, and printer reports "cartridge empty". It's the second cartridge I tested. I would like to check the printhead in case it's clogged on that side but the printer refuses to run the printhead replacement procedure when there are pending...

Hello!, I'm having trouble load a papel roll in my Z3100. It starts feeding, and after 3 tries the printer always blurbs a "paper too far from the blue line" message. Any pointers?

Hello! I'm in the need to replace a ink nozzle in a 24" z3100. It seems to be plenty offering of spare parts on eBay but the challenge I face is that there are two type/styles of it: one is 24mm long and the other one is 27mm long. Adding an illustration of one of the offerings: Any...

I thinking the other way around :) What is each different paper for?. For example, X paper is better for landscapes or people portraits?, or it's just a matter of.texture preference?

I wonder how is your box opening quest?. On my side, I've already changed: - motherboard - PSU - 4 x cartridges (B, GN, PK, MK) - belt - paper pulling mechanism starwheels - cleaning station cotton Moving further after each new error. On Monday the story continues. Might risk changing: -...

Looking at media for a 24" HP Z3100 I see a sheer amount of options from HP: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00810181 Can anyone provide some guidance of which paper to use for a given usecase?.

That would be HP paper?. On that front I got people asking for Hahnemühle paper, non OEM but highly regarded from what I understood.

Fair enough. Thanks for the feedback.

Anybody can comment on APS paired with Z3100 in 2022. Is it worth it for Photo reproductions?, Are there any better options as of today (price/benefit wise)?

Spares delivered today, waiting for news from the repair shop :)

Regarding the ink, I'm wondering if low-cost-but-lower-quality is worth it. Might provide printing services with this printer, and unhappy customers don't come back. Right now I'm getting OEM cartridges to properly test the printer after the repairs. I'm about to buy pigment ink "per liter"...

Hi!, anybody knows if the rear trays for Z3100 & Z32100 are interchangeable?. I have a Z3100 which according to the manual requires (Q5669-60659) but I can only finds spares for Z3200 (Q6683-60194). I was hoping to be able to use the Q6683-60194 part with the Z3100.

Any feedback on the pigment quality vs original inks?. I've read some vendors delivering the ink with ICC profiles but can't find any for Aomya.

Will attempt that route and report back. What about ink quality?, You recommended Aomya. Challenge would be to make sure it's really Aomya and not a knock off.

I've seen those little PCB that you use unplugging a cable from each side of the printer to bypass state detection. I was wondering if with the latest cartridges, those were not needed anymore. I read somewhere that the new cartridges auto reset their reported levels on reconnect (ARC...

Well, apparantly the motherboard has a short due to ink drops and the PSU is not delivering current in a given link (not sure how is it called). I pulled the trigger on an old stock new MB+PSU combo, waiting for the bundle to arrive.

Can you elaborate on the refillable cartridges?, Does the printer need any kind of modification to work with them?

Hello, I'm trying to salvage a 24" DesignJet Z3100. The technician servicing it mentioned it will require the main PCA and PSU replaced. The current part numbers are: PCA, p/n: Q6677-67007 PSU, p/n: 042-70118701 I wonder if there are several revisions of those and if I should take the...
