Thanks for the replies you guys and it most likely is the caps&dampeners. There is a tech from the NDgraphics that did some trouble shooting with me and I did an ink fill on normal and hard and it fixed most except for the original Head 1 left nozzles. He said it was likely the dampeners so...

Here I am again, to ask you all for you all to share your knowledge, because it seems I have none haha My printer nozzles are always clogged. In particular, the Cyan. Head 1 the left cyan is almost never existent. Ive done nozzle washes, I've let the nozzles soak overnight with the shut off...

Thanks for all the help, y'all! I've slowed all my cuts down to 30, it's a lot slower but it seems to work great for the smaller stuff. We do about 2000 different decals in all colors for machines here, the majority are just boxes or ovals but a handful are intricate, and it's definitely helped...

I slowed the speed down to 30 and it helped significantly! I will lower it to 20 for the next one. The pressure at 100 barely leaves an indentation on the backer, any less and it doesn't cut through most of the time. Thanks so much!!

Hi everyone, I have a Mimaki CG130-FXii here at work. I've recently replaced the cutting strip, the pen holder and have brand new mimaki blades for it. I have everything set so that it usually cuts through the vinyl&laminate like butter. But there is one graphic in particular that I do that...

Hey thanks for the reply! An engineer who works in the building came down to look at it for me. The lever was broken off the swtich that I assume was the sensor telling the machine the rollers are down.

Hey everyone. So, my plotter is not working. Usually you put the sheet in, you push the lever back and it asks you leaf or roll. Well, that won't come up. I've turned it off and on and unplugged it and plugged it back in, and it isn't working. Is there still a way to plot? Because I can't seem...

Well I'll be, I think that's what the problem was. There is only tension knobs on one side of the machine. I added pictures after I put the laminate through how suggested. It still looks loose but I havent put any vinyl through it yet

Okay! Trying this now. This is how I was taught, the girl before me was taught, and I just imagine they were doing it wrong from the get go.

The laminate is put on straight when I put on a new roll. I'm not sure what webbing means o_O But there are two spoke like things the hold the top roll that gathers the backing up, I hammered those in quite far to the rolls and it seems to have relieved the problem temporarily.

Hi there, I am fairly new to this whole game. I got a job making decals for a pressure washing company, basically had 3 hours of training on all the machines and have been left to my own devices for the past 8 months. No one else who works here has had much experience with the machines either...
