  1. Newbie Needing Help With Greys

    Hello there! Try selecting the Gray Balance option in the Color Matching section, on the Quality menu for all jobs containing greys. That always worked for me when the greys were brownish.
  2. Question CJV150 - can the pump be damaged by working without a printhead?

    Hello there! My CJV150 had its printhead damaged and removed until I get a new one, and also the inks. But I'd like to use the machine to cut and every time I turn it on, the pump and the refresh function work normally as if there was a printhead. I'm afraid the pump could be damaged too, since...
  3. Question Guess I was scammed - Where does the machine report data is stored?

    Hello netsol and Jim Hancock ! Update: I found out I was tricked by that tech into thinking that the COM IO PCB (that he "fixed") was called the main PCB. But no! He took the COM IO PCB. The main PCB (EPL2) is fine and all data and error history is still in the machine, because they're stored...
  4. Question Guess I was scammed - Where does the machine report data is stored?

    Thank you so much netsol , thoughtful as always :) Looking at the service manual, apparently it's possible to replace the use time, wiping count, scan count, but I didn't find anything about the serial number. But anyways, I'm not sure if serial number is stored in the main PCB. Think about...
  5. Question Guess I was scammed - Where does the machine report data is stored?

    Hey there! I'd like to know where does the machine report data is stored (CJV150). I mean, all that information that is printed out from service menu, including Serial number, Use time, Wiping, Head ID, Shot count etc. I suspect I've been scammed. Long story short, I got ink in my printhead and...
  6. Epson L1440 Printhead for CJV150 - is it worth it?

    Man, I wish I could! It's just a question of making money in dollars, because the currency in my country is devaluating every day. If anyone has any tips on where I should start looking for remote work to make dollars, I'd be very thankful. I'm a graphic designer and wordpress girl, and I work...
  7. Epson L1440 Printhead for CJV150 - is it worth it?

    Hey there! I was suggested by a local dealer to replace my damaged DX7 printhead with this Epson L1440, because it's less expensive. My machine is CJV150. I wonder if it's worth it. What do you think? I didn't find much information about it on the web. If it's cheaper than the M015372 DX7 Gold...
  8. Is it worth it replacing OEM ink with Bordeaux?

    Yes iPrintStuff , it totally makes sense that having ink flowing all the time would reduce the risks of such problems. For all I read here, I believe I could have a good experience with Bordeaux, but I'd need to run a little more, maybe at least 6 hours a day non stop, just in case. Here the...
  9. Need Help Please help me evaluate the damages of this accident

    Hey Tipgypsy ! The tech who came here did exactly what Netsol said, when he removed the printhead, there was ink pouring from it and he said the printhead couln't be fixed. Later, I unmounted what I could and cleaned a bit more, it's pretty clean now, see photos. The problem is I should have...
  10. Need Help Please help me evaluate the damages of this accident

    Thank you hazartilirot . But do you think something bad can happen to the head, besides not printing? I mean, if I get the mainboard repaired, then the printhead installed and maybe the mainboard wasn't properly repaired, could it cause the new printhead to burn? Or it would just not print in...
  11. Is it worth it replacing OEM ink with Bordeaux?

    Thank you so much iPrintStuff , your answer is clear, logic and brought me to reality, helped me clear my mind to think twice about it, because I definitely don't run 24/7 and think I'll never will. Right now I have a biggest problem to solve (get a new printhead) and once it's solved, I don't...
  12. Mimaki UCJV150-160

    I used to have the same issue with my CJV150 (see photo). But that stopped some time ago and I'm not sure what was the cause nor what fixed it. It may be something software related because I don't recall having this issue since I've reinstalled RasterLink, Fine Cut and Mimaki driver after a...
  13. Need Help Please help me evaluate the damages of this accident

    UPDATE: you know that guy who told me he had a used printhead sitting there, which was returned from a client, and could be tested on my machine? Well, today he asked some employee of him to call me and tell that "he tested the head already and it's not working" and it could burn something in my...
  14. Is it worth it replacing OEM ink with Bordeaux?

    Yes, makes sense. And I may be the living proof for that statement: brand new machine, OEM ink and 18 months later printhead was missing 2 entire lines (magenta and cyan) And the color of Bordeaux inks, are they as vivid as SS21? Just so you know, SS21 ink costs here 1,16 BRL / ml and Bordeaux...
  15. Need Help cutting from roll vinyl

    You can never cut / print a 24 inch artwork into a 24 inch material. You could either use negative margins (but still, will need at least 10 mm margin on each side or could try some cutting mat like this (which I never used and don't know if can be found in the size you need) () Anyways, ain't...
