""""Print quality problem.....something like that "it you press ok it start printing without black.

I also keep side printing bars on from rip. It is printing all bar colours with print without Black.

Hi 🙂

check weight of printheads, if printhead is lighter - not enough ink is going into from tubes:

- take a look at ink towers (where printhead needles are going into - recently we replaced ones causing same as your case - empty PH's and only one ink is missing . When checking - all PH's weighted around 60 grams, only one was 45 grams... - in this case all checking passed OK and when cleaning was made - ink was present, but when printing - one of two colors from PH was missing...

- sometimes PIP's from ink cartridges are defecting (no need to be leaking just not pumping enough ink);

- check tubes for air...

If you're checking only one printhead so far and making tests only with it and not with another one - may be it's defective after all...

Hi,

Tooo many sensor in HP printer that cause all software problems & firmware problem. Just need few sensor like vinyl plotter.

Media in or end of media so printer stop

scan media

take up roll media

& temperature sensor.

That is what I think.

Thanks

Check that the rubber nibs are still on the Primer assy. (It looks like a Crane over top of the Carriage when the carriage is parked at the right side) 

The purpose of the primer is to help the ink flow through the Printheads with air pressure.

If any of these nibs are missing then the PH's are not being primed properly and will cause them not to push ink through.

As HP does not sell the nibs separately (they are hard to get on properly) you will have to replace the complete primer assy.

Good Luck,

Thanks Roy,

Yes I have checked last month when problem start. At that time some times getting black. All looks ok.

If rubber nib is not seating properly on Yellow-Black print head & not priming. Technically Yellow & Black both should missing because it is on same print head. I replaced several print head but only Black missing or jam ink. Yellow is absolutely good all the time. Crane assembly working fine & **bleep** is seating properly.

Appreciate your reply.
