5 Graphics One Buzz 5 Damper Replacements Digital Output Top 50 Instalation Training Online Training ICC Profiling On-Site Support Consulting Services Graphics One, through its GO TEK Group, is pleased to offer a wide variety of high quality spare parts for your inkjet printers. These products have been rigorously tested by GO TEK Group s technicians in a wide range of printers and are just as good if not better than the original parts they are designed to replace. We are pleased to showcase our OEM alternative dampers. They provide the same level of filtration as standard dampers, are redesigned to improve ink flow and reduce head starvation during printing, and hold larger amounts of ink than the OEM dampers. All GO TEK dampers are resistant to eco and mild solvents. NOTE: Replacing the dampers of a water based printer with these does not make the printer solvent resistant, as there are many other parts in the printer that will be damaged by contact with solvent ink. This damper has the same dimensions as the OEM damper and uses a 2mm ink line fitting. It fits the following printers: GO dmax and Rio Mutoh ValueJet 1204 / 1304 Mimaki JV3 SP-083-DAMPER-19 - $21 This is a high capacity version of the previous damper. It is taller and includes a second ink reservoir on the reverse side of the damper. Like #19, it has a 2mm ink line fitting. Because of its height, however, it only fits the following printers: Mutoh Falcon II / Falcon II Outdoor Mutoh Viper / Viper TX Roland FJ-500, 600, and 740 SP-083-DAMPER-24 - $25 This damper has the same storage capacity as damper #24 but uses a 3mm fitting for the following printers: Mutoh Toucan LT Mutoh ValueJet 1604 d.gen Teleios 74/V8 d.gen Teleios 100/V6 Roland FP-740 Roland SJ-1000 / 1045 SP-083-DAMPER-25 - $25 Please go to for other innovative replacement parts Graphics One named Digital Output Readers Choice Top 50 for the fourth year in a row.
