Just found this page the other day and was hoping for some help. Been using a epson s60600 for the last few years at my local sign shop. Recently we've been getting headstrikes on our prints and the media clamps. Usually I keep the platen gap to 2.0 but the other day it still had headstrikes...
Tightening the hex screw did create better suction or seal on the capping station (!) -- however, I need to adjust it properly tomorrow by loosening the lock screws first and really adjusting the bed. There is also an [HASHTAG]#ADJUST [/HASHTAG] > CAPPING setting which you can adjust to snug the head parking location farther to the right.
Setting the size in Summa Axis Control: It concentrates the suction to the smaller piece's width along the right side (origin side) It does not work for length so that option is useless- I talked to the tech who set ours up. He said its basically 1 wall that moves inside from the left (wider materials) to the right (thinner). Also, if you try to cut 11.5x23.5 out of 12x24 it doesn't have ...
A powerful clean will often draw enough ink into the hose to print for a while as it uses a lot more suction than printing does. Also when you replaced the damper, did you fit a new o-ring to the hose as these can fail over time and let air in as well.
Started hearing an annoying noise that I think is coming from a motor under the surface plate that sucks the material down. Suction still good but looking for suggestions as to what may have caused the problem and how to fix it. Search didn't come up with any answers on this one. -_-
We started the surfacing in the center and cut outward. My assumption is it had a surface tension issue that caused the whole board to buckle and it lost its suction from the vacuum table. Needless to say it ruined the sheet of MDF. Any one have thoughts on how to avoid this?
The tubing inside the pump can be partially blocked, not allowing enough suction. Right after I bought my 1204, I did away with the waste ink tray and put a waste ink bottle under the printer. To help keep my pump tubes clean, I use 2 syringes and push cleaning fluid backwards from the bottom of the pump tubes into the cap top.

I have seen some units using a double spoil board where the bottom section of MDF has a X pattern to distribute the suction evenly and a second MDF sheet it laid on top of that with no channel at all. With the 408 Sabre model you always get better suction at the valve end, so I was thinking to cut a channel lengthwise to even this out. Any ...
