Where to buy a new printhead?

Where to buy a new printhead?

Many printer users will ask this question "Where to buy a new printhead?" when their printers need replacement.
Some people search from Google, input what they want, and select from the results.
Some people contact their printer agents.
Others purchase from local distributors.
Users usually ask question like this " Are they reliable?"
Whatever you purchased from online shop,local printer agents ect. the printhead quality will be same.The printheads in the market are all original from epson,roland,mimaki,seiko,spectra, konica,xaar,toshiba,ect.
The only difference are the price and service.
Some users worried if the new printhead cannot work well as we expected, what should I do ? Any warranty? That kind of question belong to the service scope,not the quality scope.
Some local distributors provide service to replacement, meanwhile the printhead price will be higher cause it already include the service charge they provided.
Some overseas suppliers provide just product price not include the service charge,which usually need printer users can replace the printhead themselves,usually is their company's own technician.
I will not recommend which supplier is better,cause it is not difficult to find one.But for printer owners,it is important to find the real problem parts before replacement.The source of problem is very important during the whole inspection.
Doing this diagnose,your technician feedback is very important, they will tell you which part is the source of problem. For example, some users replace a new head, and finally found the damaged headboard is the source of the problem, that means , any new head will be damaged with high risky under the damaged headboard status. If you cannot find the source of the problem primary,the new head will be wasted totally.
And printer users also need a company who can repair the printhead. Small sign companies usually have headache about printhead charge,they never considered the printhead can be repaired or recovered, in fact, there are this kind of companies can handle this service include online tech assistant,parts inspection,printhead cleaning,printhead repair or recovery.

When the printhead has clog,banding,fuzzy,fail to print out issues ect.That does not mean the printhead has to be replaced.

What we can do when our printer parts damaged?

Sometimes it is simple question.

Sometimes when the parts are printhead, headboard,mainboard, which are costly parts,it matters for many small sign companies.

There are many printing job in a sign company,maybe two printers,five printers,or more.When the printers stop working caused by some damaged parts,the first thing is to detect which part caused problem,this task usually did by professional technician or local printer agent, means the printer owner will pay the service charge by hours plus new parts costs.

Printer owners do not think the parts can be repaired or recovered,actually,not every parts need to be replaced new one, mainly for the high cost parts, like printhead(USD1000-USD2000),headboard,main board (USD1500-USD2000) ,they can be repaired through replaced some program chips,resistance or some tiny parts inside of them.The most important thing is that repair can save you 50% cost compared to purchase a new one.

How to deal with the bad printing nozzle?

What we can do when the printing nozzle is not perfect?

People always found the printing nozzle is not good as it should be.

• some color nozzle missed, other colors normal
• nothing print out
• banding problem.
• overspay

Then they thought it should be  head problems, head clog, do some wash,light,medium,heavy wash one by one to try, but no any luck.

Any standard steps we should follow?

In principle,we need troubleshoot problems from ink supply system parts,include dampers,cap top,head cables, then check your headboard and printhead.

From our experience,most problems caused by head cables and headboard.

Here I mainly talk about how they lead to the printhead fired.

Head cables, 

1. when you install your new head,or replace head cable,please operate under power off status.
2. Before insert head cables to your printhead,make sure no any ink on the cable connection, why? because the dry ink will be electric conductor when power on,and lead to the head fired.
3. Before insert head cables to your printhead,make sure the cables are flat,no any folded.
4. insert the head cables to the printhead unerring

Headboard

If headboard damage,some chip short,which lead to the head fired with very high possibility.

Usually,only one or two colors cables on the headboard have problem.

Many customers cannot check the headboard problem,except replace a new one to check.

Yes, it need professional technology staff to check by equipment.

That is not the part we discussed on this post.

But how to check the headboard anyway, use the exclusive method.

For example: CMYK let's say A/B/C/D cables connecting from head to headboard, four channels. 

If A channel nozzle test is bad,others are well.How to do?

• Move A channel printhead to B,C OR D, one of them.Because B/C/D nozzles are fine,proved cables,heads,headboard chip are all fine. If put A to other place without printing nozzle problem,which can exclude the head problem directly.If the nozzle problem still exist, the head had problem.
• Exclude the cables.very easy way, replace new one cause it is cheap, or exchange to other good channels.or move other channels cable to A position.
• Finally is the headboard problem.Get it to repair or replace new one.
