Hi, One of our flooring clients needs some text and a logo inlaid in wood flooring panels they are laying. Does anyone know any companies that we could sub this out to? We're more of a print shop and don't have a laser or the fabrication knowledge to do this. Thank you in advance!

I had a 2017(I think) JV300 that we were running on the SB54 sublimation ink. Contantly had ink problems (chips not recognized and we'd loose our yellow channel all the time). Eventually replaced both heads and still ended up with the same issues just a short time later. We just replaced our...

Just wanted to chime in for anyone else doing a conversion. Our JV150 (solvent) started overspraying and after trying everything it looked like it needed a new head. Our JV300 (aka money pit) that is set up for sublimation and just keeps having issues had one good head and one blocked and I...

Hi, I've got a 54" JV33 that we're going to pull apart for parts. $50 (to cover the labor and boxing) plus shipping. I'm in Hawaii but usps priority shouldn't be bad.

Same problem here on 3 vp540s and an xc540. It never caused a lot of issues but it was always tough to print really small black text. Our nozzles would always deflect within just a month or so of a new head.

Hi, the ink system on that printer are pretty basic so it's an easy one to flush out if you need to. There's a pretty good chance that if the inks are already mixed and it's been working fine you could just leave it alone and add the correct new ink as you use up the old ink. Sometimes you...

As other's mentioned, if you can work on your own Roland's you'll probably be fine working on a Mimaki. I've been in the same situation as I'm on my own on servicing and went from VP540s (on my third one now) and XC540s and have slowly moved over to Mimaki. In my experience Roland maintenance...

I'm not sure of how similar this is to the way that mimaki sets up their large format printers but I'm guessing that they our fairly close. Our JV150 did the same thing one week out of warranty (of course) and after trying everything it ended up being the main board. We figured it was the home...

I've got the same machine and we actually prefer the Bordeaux over oem ink. Performance wise we can't tell the difference and the Bordeaux fumes are much much less harsh than the ss21 OEM cartridges. I think we see a slight magenta shift when using Bordeaux but otherwise it's great. We buy...

Hi, We've been doing window wraps for a dental group and they are asking us if there any vinyls (probably over laminates in this case) that reflect heat at all. We've been using solvent printed cast vinyl with cast matte lam. I haven't heard of anything in this category but figured I'd ask to...

Hi, does anyone know how to print with one head only on a JV300? We're printing out of Rasterlink. Head two has clogs that we can't flush no matter what we do but head one is just fine. I swear that I've seen the option but can't figure out if it was in Rasterlink or something we toggled in...

Hi Everyone, I've got a mystery JV300 issue and this is actually the second time that this happened. Our JV300 is running the 2L sublimation bags and using Mimaki ink. About a year ago (1 month after the warranty expired of course) the yellow ink ran dry in both heads due to a incorrectly...

If the printer looks like a Mutoh VJ-1618 it's probably just a rebranded Mutoh which is really common. I'd use the Mutoh head. I don't think the Mutoh heads are locked like some other printers but it's safer just to go that route and not that much more. I'd think you can get it for around...

If you did it you'd have to build in some bleed and then you'd be printing onto the aluminum platen under the print area and probably getting ink all over the place, onto the hold downs and possibly into the vacuum holes and definitely onto the backing paper so it wouldn't be worth it. The...

Hi, if you're interested I have a 3-4 month old VJ 628 which is the small format (24" wide) equivalent of the 900. It's set up as an 8 color sawgrass right now but can also be converted to 4 color for more speed. It's a great little printer and we use it for small format goods and such but...

We just took apart an xc540 for parts. I need to check but pretty sure I have that board. $25 and it's yours but I need to check on Monday if it's there at our shop member: 80259"]So I blew a transistor and a fuse and I think I found the source. The black dot you see in the photo is actually...

We have a jv300 running 2liter sublimation ink (4liters per color) and we use aftermarket chips as a problem solver all the time. When we first got it we bought two back up cartridges for each color meaning that 4L per color on the printer and 4L sitting of a shelf we had 8L per color to burn...

Just did a dual head swap on our JV300 sublimation machine. The old dampers had rubber plugs in the two forward ports on the top of the damper. I pulled the plugs out of the old dampers and am trying to put it into the new ones but can't seem to get them in. Does anyone have any tips? The...

99% sure it's this one below but thk isn't really set up to sell to individuals. We ordered from linear industries which was a distributor but again I didn't really feel like they were set up to sell a single bearing block. 5 years ago we paid around $50 each and I bought two in case it ever...

This is a really old thread but thank you for the post on this. We are refurbishing an old VP540 as a print and cut back up machine and couldn't figure out how to get around the 0111 error when trying to read cut marks. I think it had been unplugged so long that all the values in the crop-cut...
