Q/A How to Address DTG Pro DTF Printing Issues and Component Replacement in Your Printer

Q: After replacing the print head and dampers in my printer as advised, it still won't print. I'm struggling to even connect new wiring. Can I bring my printer to you for repairs, considering I'm only 3 hours away and facing urgent orders?

A: The approach to resolving your printer's issue depends significantly on whether it's failing to print any color at all or if it's just missing some colors or showing streaks. If it prints some colors, the focus should be on the ink supply system, such as the Continuous Ink System (CIS), ink tubes, and capping stations. If no colors are being printed, there are typically two main problems to investigate:

  1. Mainboard Issue: The fuse connected to the printhead might be burned out, which is a common cause for the printer not printing any color.
  2. Driver Chip Problem: The driver chip on the mainboard could be malfunctioning or not sending a sufficient signal to the printer, leading to blank pages despite the printer appearing to operate normally.

In most cases, when the printer seems to work (initiates startup, performs cleaning) but doesn't print, ink is seen flowing into the waste tube, indicating that the system is not entirely blocked.
