Vinylman. Wow i do feel sorry if that is your constant outlook on the world. If we all thought like that we would lock ourselves in our homes, build a moat, stockpile guns, ammo, canned food, batteries, flashlights, petroleum and gold bullion for the enevitable armaggedon that is right around...

Good point Vinylman. But it still does come down to dollars and sense... We arent buying the cheapest ink coming overseas. We have used a couple different brands, all of which were heavily researched before investing. And we are ALL guilty of shopping at Walmart. So we can't be that...

We used bulk ink with liters and funnels and all that for the past 5 years. Tired of the spilled ink and headaches. We are investing in a smart card programmer so that this annoying issue with cards is done forever. Our last Mimaki was bulk ink with chips. What a mess no matter how clean you...

Quick math on the ink cost for the naysayers.. Mutoh ink is about 80 bucks for a 220ml cartridge. 1110 was about 60 for a 440ml.. Do the math. And as for support, this being our fifth wide format solvent printer, we don't generally go crying the ink manufacturer with every little question or...

It's a shame. The inks are great. No smell, better durability. From what I hear Tekgraf bought ElevenTen this past year. And Tekgraf went belly up which apparently took ElevenTen with them. Makes sense why emails and telephone calls have not been returned in a week. Another one bites the...

OK Anyone having NOT ORIGINAL issues with eleven ten ink, PM me. I just worked out a firware downgrade solution that makes all the eleventen smart cards work. And for the record, saving 60 percent on inks does make sense when we are using 2 or 3 50 yard rolls on each printer per week.

Hey Yalll. Just got word from our distributor that ElevenTen and Tekgraf has closed their doors. Great timing considering we are having NOT ORIGINAL issues with the latest 20 440ml cartridges we purchased from them. :omg2:

NEWSFLASH>>>>> My JV3 woke up with a error 30 that wouldnt go away today.. So I did the usual tries to get it working. I removed the IO board and removed the onboard battery. Reinstalled and presto... the machine works and I am back to the remote staying on until I go back over to the machine...

Quick question.. has anyone else run into problems using flexi 8.5v2 where the printer pops out of remote after each job? We are running a Mimaki JV3 and now after each job it goes from remote to local. Ther eis no problems with ink or Flexi. Just something new to wear out the rug between my...

Does anyone else have any suggestions? My JV3 keeps kicking out of remote after every print.. and the ink is fine. I press the remote again and it prints the next job. Anyone???

Gotcha. Well mine does that when one of the ink chips runs out (aftermarket inks). I also just changed the priority settings from printer to host for most things. I run flexi 8.6 and maybe they have different defaults than the printer. Keep up the good suggestions tho. Thanks

Nope. At least not for my machine. When you load the vinyl and bring down the lever, you usually pressed the left arrow button to engage the media sensors. And it stayed in remote until you pressed the remote button again. Some Mimaki Guru has GOT to know how to change this stuff back. Before...

OK I changed a couple heads and did some print adjusting which did include reseting all values on the JV3 to factory. Now it automatically looks for the size of the paper when you close the vinyl lever and it pops out of remote to local after every job. Does anyone have any idea where the...

Hey Everyone.. I have a couple of clogged Mimaki JV3 heads. I remember reading a post from a person that offered to unclog any head for $100 on this forum. Can someone direct me to that post or that person. Thanks in advance.

I have a Gerber Edge II With a Gerber HS15 cutter. The cutter has developed a problem. When it begins to cut, it moves a few inches and then stops with the alarm ringing. Depending on the power source, it comes and goes. Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem with the HS15? I...
