How to clean up a Ricoh SP C430 / SP C440 for conversion to digital ceramic printing

[@PWELETRO]

Thank you very much for this video. I was able to complement what I didn't know about this disassembly. Now I have mastered this maintenance completely. Congratulations on your great work

Hello Paulo, do you use ceramic toners already?

This seems a bit much. What happens if you just clean out the toner tubes and replace them with your ceramic toner?

[@FotoCeramic]

Hello David, this video is showing you how to clean out the toner hopper supply unit. The alternative would be to just refill the toner bottles with ceramic toner and print solid sheets of colour to flush out the original toner. I don't recommend this method as it's likely that there will be some dilution of the colour for a while until or the original toner has been exhausted.

como hacer una calibración de color correcta puesto que mi impresión la veo muy distinta a lo que debe ser

Do i need replace magnetic powder for the fisrt use on a new printer ? After do all step follow this video , can i start print waterslides with my new printer ? Sorry about my bad English :(

[@fotoceramic2971]

You need to clean the machine as per this video, then replace the toner and finally you need to replace the developers. We have further videos to show the additional processes.

[@domingossaviomoreiradeoliv5450]

Hello, is it necessary to configure something else in the printer system? like melting temperature, specific color calibration ...thank you in advance

[@FotoCeramic]

You need to run on a Thick 3 paper setting to get the ceramic toners to fuse on the decal paper. It is possible to increase the fusing temperature too in the service mode.

Hello sir just a question please how many papers do the whole set of Mpc440sp Ricoh print? is it true around 16000 sheets as total?

[@FotoCeramic]

The toner usage will depend on the density of the print. It varies from 0.1g per sheet A4 for normal text to 1.0g per sheet for solid full colour.

Hello. Do you have any videos on cleaning the Ricoh 831 for conversion to digital ceramic printer?

[@FotoCeramic]

We do have videos for the SP C830 but these are only available to fotoceramic clients.

[@ContactprodFr]

super nice demo ! Once you fullfilled the cleaning process, how you fill the hoppers and the tubes ? manually or is there any function inside the admin mode ? Thx for your help

[@FotoCeramic]

Once who have cleaned out the original toners then you will need to install ceramic toners and developers. We have videos for this too but they are only available to clients via fotoceramic.com or printceramic.com

[@fotoceramic2971]

You have to refill the toner bottles and developer units manually.

Hi, my ricoh 430 ceramic has ghost images when printing, the images from the top were copied to the bottom photo in a A4 format, can you please guild me how to solve it, i'm from campodia! Much thanks and appreciated !

[@vvv999vvv]

Symptom Possible cause Necessary actions The same or similar image appears two or more times. They get weaker and weaker. Defective PCDU Replace the PCDU. Defective transfer unit Replace the transfer unit. There is another type of ghost, some color are off line, then, you got to have knowledge on service manual

[@vvv999vvv]

Better ask your ceramic printer supplier

[@firecrack8747]

@@vvv999vvv i bought toner online and converted the printer myself, so there is no one gonna help me, i had changed a lot of parts involve PCDU,transfer belt and fuser,but still get the same issue! Could you please give me a hand ?Much thanks!

[@vvv999vvv]

@@firecrack8747 Seems to me only a few company selling the ceramic toners, if you buy it online, I wonder does it work or not, and surely no one will help you and do not waste time or money on the printer tech or copy techs, they do not know the problem, my opinion also suggest that, do not buy the parts individually, buy another machine for parts.

[@Jesusistheonlyway549]

What if I have a brand new printer, do I need to convert it still?

[@MitchellSnyderArch]

I have the same question. If I find a new printer do I just need to replace the toner and adjust the settings?

[@fotoceramic2971]

If you have a new printer and the toner bottles have not been installed then you will just need to replace the toner in the bottles and the developers.

[@Jesusistheonlyway549]

@@fotoceramic2971 Perfect, thank you so much!

[@lucianapelizari7986]

@@fotoceramic2971 Why would it be necessary to replace the developers? Wouldn't it just be the toners to be replaced in a new printer?

[@linacymbalista6365]

Hi, great video! How do I install the developers? thanks

[@FotoCeramic]

Hi Lina, we provide additional KZbin videos to clients who buy the developers and ceramic toners.

[@linacymbalista6365]

@@FotoCeramic thanks for your answer, other question: Do the developers have to "match" the toners? and do you sell them to Brazil? thanks again

[@FotoCeramic]

@@linacymbalista6365 Yes the toners and developers do have to match. The developer is a mix of carrier (iron) and toner. We can supply to Brasil.

[@vvv999vvv]

good demo, but far from convert to ceramic printing. Ricoh will not support any printer that is modified

[@eurekaart9309]

If you buy a used printer, do everything in the video, replace toner with ceramic toner, is that all you need to do for this model printer to print waterslides? Do these printers have toner chips that will stop you from refilling or putting the ceramic toner cartridges in, propitiatory?

[@vvv999vvv]

@@eurekaart9309 It took me years to convert successfully, it is not worth to buy a old printer to convert as you might need parts and the manufacturer will not support, and many parts can not obtain from the market. You must learn a lot by your own, you need chips for replacement of the toners. My suggestion is better buy a turn key system, still, if you are not in this industry, your learning curve will be very long - it is not simple photo editing, also firing curve is different for different materials.
