Ricoh SG3110 print issue

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Hi,

I’ve had my trusty ricoh sg 3110 for about 10 years, it’s been a great little workhorse so it owes me nothing!

over the last week or 2 its developed intermittent lines in the print I’m guessing from the magenta print head.

ive attached a couple of photos. It comes and goes in different spots on different pages sometimes all over sometimes hardly any.

I’ve taken the heads out and cleaned them looking for anything on the heads, the only thing I’ve changed is xpres have discontinued the paper I was using and I’ve tried their new eco paper, which I thought maybe it’s something catching the head.

it might just be at the end of its life but the replacement options don’t seem great so thought I’d have one last shot at fixing it, any help would be appreciated

thanks


Tommy
