Re: Canon iPF670 printhead error

You made an easy problem hard. Make sure ink absorber is new and replace the printhead and then run a printhead alighnment.

Re: Canon iPF670 printhead error

If the cap absorbers get plugged up(which they do all the time), or the drain holes under them get clogged, you can replace printheads until you're blue in the face and it won't resolve it. Probably go into an error when new printhead is installed. If you do nozzle checks in service mode(un-compensated) and colours mix or huge bare areas in one color, check for air bubbles in the ink lines,etc. If there are, absorbers could be plugged or ink lines plugged(usually at carriage..easily flushed out).

Good tips for those that can't just replace parts because the customer doesn't/won't pay the expense. Keeping the machine clean is important especially when it sits idle for a while not printing.
Like Blackcat and I recommend have the customer do at least one to two D size plots a week if possible.
Also show the end user how to clean wipers and capping assembly.
Explain to them that doing these simple things can reduce down time and service call costs that will usually catch their attention (if not under contract) it'll save you time also from running out there every few weeks.

I use Simple Green on a paper towel to clean the PH. Cut to fit in paper trough.. move PH ( un Park un ug move PH over towel and let sit) this will give you time to clean the other parts with Simple Green. Works great on any ink based machine of any brand.
Also is a great degrea
ser. Works pretty well on Sharpie marks on covers too.

No, you make a simple problem costly by throwing parts at it. I see you're not a tech. There is a difference between ink absorbers and cap absorbers..lol. And when it errors after that? Many times that doesn't solve it. If heads are old and absorbers are really gummed up, that doesnt always work... seen it many times of working on wide format for 30 years. Alot of the time it doesn't need a head...it just needs someone that knows what they are doing to service it

+1 on throwing parts at it. That has a tendency to piss customers off big time. And the tech thingy.

Re: Canon iPF670 printhead error

The printhead should solve your issue. Like Phil suggests, you should print a minimum of one Arch D page every week to keep the printhead clear. =^..^=

Hey Black Cat. You have no business on here. Didnt i ask you to keep your mouth closed? If you can't display your photo and identity then you have no business here. Now be gone. facebookprofile.jpg

As technicians we all throw parts at machines from time to time. I have been in this business longer than this Phil fake guy has been alive. Phil is a wise guy who seems to think that is Rep rating has anything to do with copier service. He is rude, and he speaks to "newbies" like they are dogs and he has no business on this forum whatsoever and if he thinks he's going to get me banned he is sadly mistaken. Copytech.net knows who i am. I am Michael Gingell of Advanced Copier Solutions of Silver Spring MD. Now to Canuck; call me if you need some help with your IPF670 because ive sold about 25 of them. Heres the number. 301-890-8800. I can also get you a dealer price on parts. -Michael

Re: Canon iPF670 printhead error

ok that answers ONE question what about the other one?

here's another to ponder ..

is there heat or air conditioning blowing down on the machine?

I know your kind of so called "service maanger". Telling the customer that its there heating and A/C or cheap paper thats causing the problem. You need to resign Phil. Nobody cares about your worthless incredible 10,000 posts on this website. What technician makes 10,000 posts? Answer: A TROLL.

Your info makes sense and i will look into this. In general we shouldnt have all these clogs.

[QUOTE=Phil B.;1771967]we have told you that you have to replace the printhead.. i thought you had and questioned the replenish ink.

NO? THEN DO IT!!

he doesn't know what an arch d page means you idiot. Stop using technical terms on newbies to make yourself look special. I want you and your buddy phill to get off this website. -michael.[ATTACH=CONFIG]49232[/ATTACH]

Re: Canon iPF670 printhead error

In the afternoon the sun burns it, I will have to open the blinds. Before this happened, I had not used it for 2 to 3 weeks. Тoday I will order a new head and will hopefully be fine.

Try running about 100 prints and maybe it will blow the nozzles clear. Running a few cleanings and nozzle checks somtimes isnt enough at all. And dont use simple green to clean any print head. You can order inkjet nozzle cleaner on Ebay such as Magic Bullet cleaner from the UK.
