Thanks again for trying to help me resolve this persistant problem. To your points above. 1. Printhead moves freely no problem. 2. Definitely no debris in the way. The capping station is new now as I replaced it when I was having trouble getting the printer to draw any ink and i determined...

Sadly this problem has come back again and my printer in not functioning at all. Using the Wic reset software I was able to find the error 50H which is "cannot seek cr home position" this would makes sense as the error code occurs about 5 seconds into the self check when I turn on the printer...

Just a follow up. I received and installed the new capping station with a little help from a video in Chinese that I had to have translated! It went well, but unfortunately another problem (paperlight and ink light flashing simultaneously during self check) has come back and I am unable to see...

Here is a photo of the capping station with some notes. Can't believe the entire capping station was only$15 with free shipping?? We'll see if it gets here....

So I've learned a lot about repairing inkjet printers in the past few months and saw this ad on Craigslist. Was thinking of making the hour drive to pick them up. Any thoughts? http://honolulu.craigslist.org/mau/sys/5185803328.html

First off, my mistake it is Epson R290. So I think the problem lies in the capping station and I have ordered a replacement. I noticed that the foam pad that sits under the metal piece on the cap is missing. Honestly, in my ignorance as I was learning to operate this machine, I neglected to...

Thanks, I'll give it a shot!

The technology is interesting but like aquaponics, I find it more of a novelty than anything else. I also don't like the look of 3d printed objects

Well I checked the rubber seals around the capping station and blade that cleans the print head, cleaned them really good but still no ink flowing when the pump is running. I also raised the ink bottles 6 inches but still nada. I ran three or 4 more power cleans to test and did see a little ink...

I appreciate all your help trying to resolve this. I'm new to this types of printers but have learned a lot in the last few months the hard way.

Yeah now I think we're getting somewhere. when I get home I'll check the capping station carefully for the seal that you spoke about. It could be the ink level but I have a feeling it's related to the capping station as you suggested.

I don't think it has to do with the nozzles firing because I can see the ink is not going into the waste ink resivoir when I run a power clean so no ink is being pumped even though the pump seems to be working. It also does not have to do with the viscosity of the ink as I have been using the...

Thanks for your response I know the printer head isn't clogged because I removed the dampers and manually cleaned the printer head with fluid all the nozzles are clear. The printer uses an Epson r90 printer head. I hear the pump come on during the power clean and I can see air bubbles coming out...

After resolving a different issue with my printer and letting it sit for a week, My current problem is getting the ink to flow through the dampers to the print head. Here's what I've done 1. replaced all the dampers which needed to be done anyway. Problem was happening before replacing dampers...

Well, strangely when turning on the printer after giving up a week ago, the problem went away??? Sadly now a new issue which seems to expected with this machine.

Thanks for the ideas. Definitely a possibility. The inkpad counter on the reset software definitely shows that it has been reset however maybe the printer for some reason is not recognizing this as you mention. I'll work on it a bit. Appreciate the input!

I purchased this UV flatbed printer from China a few months. When I have it running it works great and I'm please with the quality and operation. When it is not running, which is most of the time, I have no tech support or clue for that matter how to repair it. Anway, with this issue, when I...

I'm new to inkjet printing. Well, I have 6 frustrating months experience actually. It's amazing what you can learn when you buy a printer from China with no tech support and new problems to deal with on a daily basis. Anyway, I'm hoping to connect with other victims, I mean owners of the same...

I'd be pulling my hair out if I had any left!
