3-way valve is located near the ink pumps for each W channel. The sequence of the components is: ink bag - 3way valve - ink pump - ink filter and then through the IGUS chain to the carriage. So you have to look inside the ink bay. If you have just one white channel, it should be easy (only W...

Value for the C channel is good, for the Y is too high. Don't adjust them manually (I know it's possible, but don't do that). Again - seems that there's a false air in the system. Usually, it's pain in the ass, as it's difficult to find the loosen connection. Try to follow all ink and vacuum...

First of all - check parameters stored in the #PARAMETER-SYSTEM PARAMETERS - 62 to 69. Any values above 500 or below 200 are wrong (below 200 means that there is a problem with the ink flow, above 500 is usually with many nozzles clogged. You may also check the ink delivery using #TEST-SENDING...

Do you know, how to enter the service menu (options begins with #)? There's a test menu there, where you can check if the ink level sensor in each channel works (should show one of three ink levels - High, Full or Low). Maybe the sensor in the Y is stuck in the F position and the ink pump is not...

It may be a problem with the ink delivery or the false air in the ink system. Do you have degassing modules installed (sometimes they are being removed from the printer)? When you did replace the ink filter in the Y channel for the last time? Are there any leaks inside the carriage or near the...

New ICC profile, created by someone who knows, how to do it properly. Of course not each orange can be printed - it depends on the ink and printer gamut. But first thing is to verify that you have profile created for your specific substrate.

Gantry has to be positioned on the support built from the parts, which (in theory) should be used for the small shelf under the table - two halves of the box, long beam and four supports (each with the screw used as a leg). The whole procedure is pretty complicated as if you put too much force...

It's not possible - the CE4 head is in fact two CA4 glued together, so it needs more space to be installed inside the carriage. You would need to make bigger holes in the head plate, redesign the head mounting and so on. Look at the pictures of both heads, they are different.

Look around the white ink pumps - if you notice black "powder" around, it means that one of them (or both, if this powder is around them) should be replaced. Remember that white ink is the heaviest of all colours (due to the heavy pigment) and white ink pumps will become broken first usually...

Fujifilm Belgium (Zaventem) should have ICC profiles for ColorGate, but they are created for Fujifilm's version of Arizona (Acuity Advance/Select), as described above. Try to contact Fujifilm's support or directly APTC in Zaventem, maybe they will help you. Otherwise, you have to ask someone to...

I know, but none of them works in the US :omg2:. I'm from Europe, don't know any technicians from the States. If the problem appears more often, maybe it's the data transmission cable between the mainboard and the carriage. It's the Firewire cable and it breaks in time. Could you give here an...

Is this the carriage motion error or gantry motion error? Is it always in the same place of the table or in different places? Generally, motion error may be an effect of many different issues - motor, coupling, encoder, electronic boards, cables etc. Could you generate a log from the printer?

I agree, but your solution not necessarily will work in different situations - ink heat system problem error may be caused by the faulty thermistor in the printhead, faulty heater, faulty coolant pump, faulty electronic board (one of the few), lack of the coolant or leak from the coolant system...

I'm pretty sure that your answer will help 7 years after the problem occurred :) .

Are there any LED lit on the board in the RMO? Do you have 24V on the output of the power supply in RMO? Does the 24V power supply receive the power from the AC Breakout? RMO has two points of connection with the printer - power and data transfer. If you have power, but there's no data...

It's being raised by compressed air and if it is stuck mechanically, you need to check the valve responsible for that pin. All pins are connected with the valves with the tubing, so open the ink bay cover and trace the proper tubing to find which valve should move the problematic pin. Maybe the...

RMO is powered by the 24V power supply straight from the AC Breakout. This is one of two connections (the other one is data transfer), so if you don't have the power at all, check the fuse in the AC Breakout first (fuse F6 rated 6.3 A with connector P516 is responsible for RMO), then check the...

Do you have the connection between the printer and the RMO? Do you have the power in the RMO?

You may also filter some pigment from the ink (depending on the pigment's size), so the colour will be weaker.

First of all - is the problem similar in each print mode? Maybe you should check tests hidden in the service #ADJUST/PRNadjust2 menu. I'm not a Mimaki specialist, but for me it looks like a calibration problem (and not necessarily hardware calibration, maybe just the print calibration for...
