  1. Mimaki CJV30 Not Connecting To PC

    Que Question for you Jack - do you have profiling capabilities in your Digital Factory v10?
  2. Greetings from Tasmania

    You too mate. At least you get to live in one of the nicest places in the world. Not too bad here either. Here's what I'm working on today
  3. Greetings from Tasmania

    Hello Gray! I remember you from years ago. I think we discussed Signlab and stuff on another board. You have Cam River Signs? I'm in Adelaide. Still signwriting and vinyl and printing. Been hand lettering some roller doors today on a scaffold. Good to be still able to be doing it. I'm 62 and I...
  4. graphtec 8600 cutting problems

    Check your blade holder. It the blade sloppy in it? Is the spring broken?
  5. Mimaki JV33 Black Head

    You can test whether it's electrical or plumbing related by doing a damper swap. Have a search on here in the Mimaki forum it's been covered ad infinitum. Basically, unplug the black dampers and plug them into say the cyan head channels. And Vice versa. If cyan ink comes out the black head...
  6. Mimaki JV 33 - 130 | Both yellows are not working

    It'll be your cap seal, like it always is. Have you cleaned around your head edge? checked your cap top?
  7. Mimaki JV 33 - 130 | Both yellows are not working

    Unplug the 2 yellow dampers from the head and swap them for the cyan. Plug the yellow dampers into the cyan head nipples and vice versa. See if the cyan ink will print through the yellow channels to verify that it's not the head or electrical related. It's probably not. Check the cap seal is air...
  8. Signlab 9.1 and Roland GX-500

    Well, I have an old CX24 that belongs to a friend here, I wanted to install through Signlab to verify that the cutter works. So, I've just done it. And it worked. I used a USB to Parallel adapter as I don't have an LPT port on the computer. Windows (7) set up the cable driver. I installed the...
  9. Need Help Help with my JV33

    It's probably wrong to think the head is getting "clogged". It's just not getting ink going through it. Flushing with solvent isn't necessary. You need to find out why the pump isn't pulling ink through the head when you do a cleaning. It will probably be an air leak somewhere. Maybe where the...
  10. Electrical issue with printer head CJV150

    Sometimes it's just the batch of ink - or it may be old or has thickened up a bit. Are you using OEM? In carts or bulk? One way to verify if it's the ink or the head is to unplug the 2 magenta dampers from the head and swap them with say the cyan head channels. Then do a clean to pull the ink...
  11. Mimaki jv33 printing issue

    I disagree with Damon. The eco-sol inks re-wet with the cleaning solution. You should be able to bring it all back. I bought a JV33 recently that had been sitting switched off and basically uncapped for 6 months throughout our hot summer. I was able to clean it and get it up and running 100%...
  12. For sh!t5 & giggles....

    I have a JV33 BS that I picked up recently. It allows for all other ink types. Maybe a tech swapped out the mainboard at some stage? I don't know. More likely there's some parameter that he could change. It was set for ES3 when I got it, I've switched it to SS21 and am running Jetbest New Eco...
  13. Mimaki CJV30-60 Continuous Damper Issues

    Why do you assume it's the damper? It's more likely the cap top or something preventing a good cleaning action.
  14. Another mid tone goes pink in the HP 315 and its eve of destruction, the advent of the 700.

    Get a spectrophotometer. Considerably smaller and less expensive than an HP 700.
  15. Mimaki CJV Clean Refresh

    Start the machine in service mode by pressing/holding function and remote. Go to maintenance menu...I can't remember exact menus or names but you'll work it out. Write down what your settings are before changing them. Check Refresh level - set it to 0. This is the frequency of spits per passes...
