    Ooops SC
  2. Mist or spray around print

    I have messaged you I think your temperatures are too high. SC
  3. Mist or spray around print

    If it head strikes on canvas it is the worst type of material for the head to touch as it is like sand paper! I am using Oracal 3165, Arlon, 3m IJ180 and banner material. The only time I have it high settings is when printing banner. I would also check the humidity of the print area as the...
  4. Mist or spray around print

    Avoid at all costs if possible head strikes as they can destroy heads. Also if the material is vulnerable to buckling this is usually an issue with the heater settings or very cheap material. The fuzziness around the edges will either be caused by fluff or could be nozzle deflections caused by...
  5. Mutoh VJ1204 Pinch Rollers

    +1 for Digiprint Changed my rollers out as the rubber/silicone had expanded and was rubbing leaving bits of rubber on the print. SC
  6. Printing problem with VJ 1204

    Also check the disk is not warped. As the jumping/thudding can be the disk touching the sensor eye. I know their was an encoder spacer update on the 1604s but I don't know if it was an issue on the 1204. SC
  7. Getting the old JV3 up and running....

    The machine was originally bought from somewhere out in the north east. Is this guy a Mimaki technician or is someone genuinely able to repair our point what is wrong on the board? I have had issues with so called technicians before who just swapped out parts in a machine until it started...
  8. Getting the old JV3 up and running....

    All cables are new OEM, new dampers and cap tops. Cables are definitely are correctly positioned. How do I test the slider board, and then how do I repair it, as in the UK their is no one who does this sort of repair. I am very apt at repairing circuitry so this is not an issue. But I need to...

  11. Getting the old JV3 up and running....

    Well I have spent the best part of this weekend trying to get the old JV3-160S running again. I have just managed to get 3 good heads into the machine, one I have just bought and the other two I had which had been flushed and stored away. I decided to install the two previous heads alongside...
  12. Is an old JV3 still a useable machine in a modern sign shop

    Yes 3 heads CMYKlclm Slower but less to align. SC
  13. Time to replace the print head?

    Maybe worth fitting a new print head cable. I try and eliminate all the cheap fixes first. SC
  14. Is an old JV3 still a useable machine in a modern sign shop

    You cannot set the machine to run CMYK you have to set it in the rip. SC
  15. In search of new heat press

    We are using a very very old Xpres (UK) machine which must be 30 years old. We have had four new machines of various makes and supposedly quality and none of them come up to the build quality of this old monster. It takes two people to lift this thing!!! The only thing is I think spare parts are...
  16. Mimaki jv33 trouble - 911

    The air lock could be a faulty or empty damper. Does the yellow dampers have similair amount of ink as all the other colours? if not pull ink through the damper till it is about half full. I didn't think you could physically empty a JV33 of a colour due to it having sub tanks (I could be wrong) SC
