    wide format color mpcw2201 mochac2

    hi all

    I have a problem with the mpcw2201 wide format color A0 device. The problem is that every day when I do a print job there is no black ink and there is a clog in the black head after I do the maintenance from user tools ( cleaning and flushing ) for black head The machine works normally and prints black after turning off the machine and running it the next day. Prints black is not working so im doing (cleaning and flushing ) every day again and again and again every day to works fine ... if any one know what the problem exactly and what should i do ?

    best regards

    If the print head is blocking that often I'd replace the maintenance unit. If that doesn't sort it, replace the black heads. Are you using Ricoh ink?

      Do you have the machine to do automatic cleaning and purging at power on?

        There was a bulletin issued for this problem in Decenber 2017. It concerned the K2 cap not sealing and causing it to dry out within 24 hours. The fix was to replace the maintenance unit (new units have a modified filler nozzle).

            This all day. I had a brand new unit that had this exact issue. I swapped the Maintenance unit and all has been well since.

                On a cw2200, you can adjust sp2521-003 to 2, and set 2513-001 to 3. Refer to tech bulletin D124-007R. This adjusts the cleaning cycle and the amount of time between cleanings.
