Hi
Have been trying to sort one problem out and now i have two.
Back in January i bought a new Ricoh 3110dn printer which was part of a start up package drom dye sublimation supplies. it came with sublisplash ink and everything was working well until a few weeks ago, i started to get faint banding om my prints which gradually got worse, did several cleans, flushes and print allignment but still the same. So i replaced the cartridges with refillable ones which worked for a few prints then banding came back again. few more cleans and flushes and finally it started to clear up with just a few very faint lines. Did one more flush but it never finished the process. Now its stuck on error sc 20252 and every time i switch it off it tries to start up but then after 2 or 3 mins it goes back to the error.
The other strange thing is when you go through the menu now the option to do a nozzle check clean etc isn't there.
Spoke with dyesublimation supplies today and they told me its not under warranty as i used different ink in the printer, even though i used it after the problem first started.
Does anyone know what this error means and is it possible to fix it?
Problem 2
As i need a printer with limited funds i bought a second hand epson 1500w today on ebay which i collected this morning was told it had only done approx 50 pages didnt see it printing but they had done a few nozzle checks which all looked fine. Got it back to work and spent ages trying to set it up with an icc from cityink printed a couple of pages which were awful colours and now 3 of the print heads dont seem to be printing at all. Would i be better to buy new refillable carts for it and bin the ones in it and replace the ink? ive had a bad day and hoping someone can shine a bit of light on my issues, i have several jobs i need to get done and now two duff printers.
