I've always used a fill of none and a 0.25pt stroke in the same fill color as the text in the past and never had an issue. But this is an alternative to flattening transparency on every file.

I searched the forum and nothing useful showed up. Since I've upgraded to a newer version of AI, the cut paths I'm sending to my summa winplot software are showing up as expanded object (an inner and outer path) for each line. Paths are always set to center line, so that hasn't defaulted to...

I had to update my firmware to 6.3 due to a motherboard replacement a few years ago. I found a solution with another supplier that hopefully resolves this problem permanently.

Well the problem has disappeared with new chips from another source. If anybody is using Dot4dot to source inks for Mimaki ES3 inks, be aware that whatever they've changed, their chips don't seem to work for that ink set anymore.

They are labelled accordingly. Let me know if you need to see the other side of them.

The one that came on the ink cartridge was stamped 2225D02. Ther permanent chip was marked 107A 943F3 on the chip itself. It also had W16398SB etched into the board.

Has anybody ever run into a situation where you printer no longer recognized 3rd party chips? I normally use Rite Media ProColour Inks and it recognizes the chips in those no problem, but my LcLm carts just timed out and the new carts I bought (Not Rite Media) weren't recognized. So they sent me...

Not sure about your specific model, but this guy was very knowledgeable on anything to do with Mimakis. Look him up on facebook: Francisco Ruiz Ulloa https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1104827180

Just updating an old post with new information. If you're using wasatch softrip (it may apply to others as well). The printer has a tendancy to change the USB designation. Where the RIP is looking for USB-1, the printer may have changed itself to USB-2 or USB-3. If you update the USB# in the...

That's the one! Thanks guys.

I learned to live with it, but when I had to replace my mainboard, the issue went away.

WTF is no help. Casual Crew Bold is similar, but different. Is anybody able to identify this one for me? It might be width condensed which is making it difficult to find a match.

Has anybody tried the aftermarket capping stations for a JV33 (or similar) like the ving parts? Any issues with them? They seem to be a very nicely priced alternative to the mimaki version.

OK so Mimaki was nice enough to provide the parameters file, but they said they were originally loaded onto firmware version 1.6 and that I should load that first. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of 1.6. The oldest I have is 1.8 which they said wasn't ideal but could be used in a pinch. Does...

Yeah I could definitely use some parts. My Y-axis movement has started to make some noise during printing, so I could be in the market for the y-axis motor and some of the pullys, but it would be dependent on how old the parts are. That would be in addition to a mainboard. Let me know what...
