This plotter spent 15 months in Iraq. It had a rough time. Just before the military police deployed again, they decided to have it serviced. I have had it for weeks and got it to print. While testing it I got a fault for the black printhead, so I replaced them all to solve future problems. In testing it I ran several large prints, about 4 or 5, and on number 6 it started banding and then told me the black printhead failed and needed to be replaced. I pulled it and checked it and then it came up as OK and I went to do another print and lost the yellow and magenta. I have tried reseating them over and over and running the alignment but I cannot get them to take. My question would be, is the problem most likely in the carriage or the ink tube system?
