Hey Guys! Sorry for going silent for a while there. I actually ended up getting covid, and I went completely offline and needed to rest and recover. At this point, the offer still stands from mimaki to borrow their software, this they are willing to let me do, however I need to get my own...

Thanks! I will give these a go and post the results as soon as I can get some available printer time. In addition to that, I have a "development" from ND Graphics. Wait until you heat this fantastic customer service. They would like to charge me for travel time and an hourly rate of $180...

I will try this. Let me see what I can find. If you have any links to a good file that you are familiar with please let me know!

UPDATE: Spoke with ND graphics today, not much help there. Mimaki tech from Canada HQ was in our computers yesterday as well to tweak any wrong settings in illustrator and rasterlink also to no avail. They DO have another vendor out here who he contacted, they also do not have a profiler, and...

No problem. I cant seem to find this profile though :/ I need it for both the JV150 and CJV150 machines.

Yeah I have definitely tried this. Nozzle check is good. I think overall everything is just too blue and way too dark across the board. For now, I have changed the densities in the color adjustment on RL to -15 cyan and -30 overall density, and its getting me at least somewhere in the...

I would say that looks about right! On ours with rasterlink, regardless of the profile, it is coming out really dark and greenish. I actually tried the Oracal 651 profile as well as a benchmark and mine looks nothing like yours. I wonder what would happen if you printed the same thing on...

Good info. Thats at least a bit reassuring. Would you have any insight on where I can get the software without paying an absolute arm and a leg for it?

I thought this too, but no I have double checked and it is indeed CMYK.

Still working on it. Looks like SolventInkjet had some better luck with another profile on his CJV150, so I am gonna try loading those on my end to see if I can replicate what his output looks like, because from what we know or assume, he has a properly working printer in his shop.

100% - Head checks look clean on each nozzle and does not look conaminated. Also, we have 2 printers, and both do the same thing. Chances of both having cross contamination is pretty low I think?

This does indeed raise a lot more questions. So.. I actually tried the same thing, and printed the EPS file, and then printed the PDF file (put directly into rasterlink) and there is NO difference. Both look very similar to the one that you have circled in green. What the actual F is going on...

I totally hear where you are coming from. Here are some of my challenges. The tech here from Mimaki is AWFUL. There was never a control file. He prints a picture and says oh it prints. No training, No setup of the input profiles. NOTHING. When I call them to ask, its excuse after excuse...

Fair enough - This is why I am here asking if anyone has tried one of these on MPM3 specifically to see if it picks it up and works.

This is the link to the specific one I am looking at. So you dont think this will work with Mimaki MPM3 even though it is an i1 pro 2?? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/255104382193?hash=item3b6567f4f1:g:abIAAOSw--hg27sC
