Not all 3rd party inks are equal. Here in the US the trusted 3rd party brands are Bordeaux, JetBest, and STS for the most part. But I run into shops running no name Chinese inks all the time that destroy their machines but they couldn't turn down $25 per liter.
The machine also helps you out by beeping to indicate if it's high or low so you don't need to watch the screen. Slow beeps means it's too low. Fast beeps is too high. No beeps means it's in range.
A is what it should look like but I've seen many with less ink in it and still work. When it's full like that on the right it can indicate that you're using a bulk system that doesn't use mid cartridges or there might be a small air leak somewhere throwing off the pressure.
1. The machine has a special nozzle check that prints black and then white on top. It will show any missing white nozzles just like a normal nozzle check. It's in the same menu as the regular nozzle check so the person you are buying from should know how to do one for you.
2. You can download...
Your particular model has fewer trained techs on it which makes sense why you're having a hard time finding one. You could try American Print Consultants. They might have someone in your area.
That looks very much like an improper offset setting to me. If you have it set to the proper number for your blade, you might be allowing too much or too little of the blade to poke out of the holder or the blade might be broken as well.
This link will bring you to a page that has a ton of profiles for that setup: https://mimaki.com/product/inkjet/print-cut/cjv300_plus-series/profile.html?riptype=RasterLink&model=CJV300-160+Plus&config=8&colorset=CMYKLkOr&ink=SS21#r
In general you want to print with heat but turn it off when cutting. I know Mimaki printers have a setting that automatically turns off the heat after printing.
Running it without the heads installed will most likely give a head temp error. It needs to get a reading from the head thermistor and if it doesn't, it defaults to too cold.
They try to play it off as if it's protecting the customer from themselves and pretend like there is some proprietary information in service mode they need to protect. At the end of the day it's all about padding their bottom line and they don't care at what cost to the customer. The only thing...
Yeah you should be fine if it's a full blown Flexi and not one of those brand specific versions. I'm not sure if it will RIP two files at once but it will allow simultaneous printing once the files are RIPed.
