@@AnthonyCreekTV great and thanks thats what i thought as wall cant do ink charge cause asked for original cartridges but with head cleaning thought gonna do it itself .. thanks once again Anthony
Anthony, hello!!! You have the coolest videos on these technical issues!!! Thank you very much!!! If I may ask one question..? After cleaning the ink supply line and dampers and assembling the entire system, when starting, the ink does not reach the dampers... the compressor works, you can see how the ink is trying to pass the line, but something does not allow it to reach the dampers... after this, the printer seems to freeze and does nothing else.... please tell me what this could be..??? How to pump ink into the dampers again?
I think you nailed my problem. Using a cleaner on the caps , one allows the fluid to pass thru and one does not. The cleaning fluid just sits until it evaporates away. I have the removal of all of the covers down to a science, so this should be no problem. Thank you for the explanation
hello, they are the best maintenance tutorials seen on the net, I have a question, after changing the damper for black, just turn on and print or you need to use the epson Adjustement program, thanks for the answer. Greetings from Italy.
Hi Anthony: your fix it yourself video and advice on Epson 3800 and 3880 dampers is awesome and will save me big bucks. I have a question? I am in the process of re-assembling my 3880 after cleaning the printhead. What I want to know is; do I need to make a "Space Making Jig," to make sure all lines are in alignment in the printhead and IC cable as I reassemble? Thanks for your indulging me on this question. OM
Hey Anthony thanks for showing this. I have a question, are all the dampers on that unit the same other than the black drum barrel shaped one? I'm talking about the cassette tape dampers that you're working with in this video.
Sorry for getting back to you late.... Yes they are all the same other than the odd one. That odd one controls black ink and also white if using for DTG.
Great video - one question, I have PK ink blobs on paper (fine for MK ink) so I guess it's the MK/PK damper problem. Which damper needs to be replaced? Thanks
Hi, I still have a question for you, epson 3880, can you tell me why it doesn't print at 2800ppi, only a large soft and clear halo comes out, instead at 1440 the image is defined, but rather clear. test print is ok. Thanks for the reply, Merry Christmas from Italy.
You mention that it is easier to replace the entire ink system assembly. I need to do this as the ink selector switch has failed. Could you please do an instructional video on this? Also, you mention to flush the system every two months to prevent problems. Can you do a video on that too please? Thank so much!
great vid,,, can you tell me if the 600 and 3880 interchangeable with the R3000? I can't find these parts for the 3000 but there are plenty out there for the other two modles..
You're going to have to probably inspect your head cables or any me thing that might be on the head area itself. Any ink on the cables or on the head port where the cables get inserted will cause a problem
Hi, I have an Epson R3000 and after carefully changing the dumpers the printer does not start, the ink and power lights come on and they remain blinking
Hi Anthony thanks for next vdeo .. once i change dampers do MUST pull inks threw new damper .. seems pretty hard to do that
You can't pull ink through the dampers, you can only pull ink by an ink charge or head cleaning unfortunately. No problem and you're welcome :)
@@AnthonyCreekTV great and thanks thats what i thought as wall cant do ink charge cause asked for original cartridges but with head cleaning thought gonna do it itself .. thanks once again Anthony
No problem, your only alternative is to basically perform strong head cleanings!

Great to hear! No problem!

Thanks I believe buying another damper bay is better than buying the black switching damper.
no problem :)

Yes more than likely or your capping station or wiper need to be clean or replaced

I have no idea to be honest
You mention that it is easier to replace the entire ink system assembly. I need to do this as the ink selector switch has failed. Could you please do an instructional video on this? Also, you mention to flush the system every two months to prevent problems. Can you do a video on that too please? Thank so much!
I actually have a video on this on my channel. Its for a Spectra 3000 DTG
Thoose motors in damper is for what use?
I believe by switching which damper to use but not 100% sure
Can you please describe how to take that Head out from the bay?
I have a video on my channel for the specta 3000 dtg with this
whats the use of that motor in the dumper?
Maybe to let the printer switch which damper to release pressure but not 100% sure
Do you have a video how to remove that unit?
Yes on my channel, look for Spectra 3000 Ink bay removal
great vid,,, can you tell me if the 600 and 3880 interchangeable with the R3000? I can't find these parts for the 3000 but there are plenty out there for the other two modles..
yes they are interchangeable
What do you do when you replace the dampers to get the ink flowing again?
your printer should have some type of ink charge
After cleaning the black selector well, well, well, there are still many stains on the printout, why?
You're going to have to probably inspect your head cables or any me thing that might be on the head area itself. Any ink on the cables or on the head port where the cables get inserted will cause a problem
Thanks for the reply
@@sergio67p no problem
Does the change of these dampers solve the ink spill on the paper?
yes sometimes, it could be other things too
Hi, I have an Epson R3000 and after carefully changing the dumpers the printer does not start, the ink and power lights come on and they remain blinking
Can I use damper unit from 3880 into p600?
Danish Che yes absolutely
Hi, so the P600 and 3880 printheads are fully interchangeable? there's no need to do anything else but mount it and go? thanks in advance :)
they are not interchangeable
Does this cure Epson r3000 clogged ink damper (fine screen filter).
Our cleaning solution Purple Hammer busts through clogs nicely
@@AnthonyCreekTV If my black matte to gloss switching valve is clogged on my 3880, how can Purple Hammer help?
