I agree with Gino on this one. These machines can become a real money pit especially with such a long time of inactivity. I also would suggest getting a Tec. to the machine, even just to advise what needs changed especially if you are inexperienced with this machine. It is looking like it needs...

Really good advice this as this clears everything. SC

Hi Looking at your sample prints, you have only two options. 1. Print everything at the highest setting/resolution you have (much slower but will make up for nozzle loss). 2. Fit a new head and head cables. The head is a consumeable as it does a lot of work and will defintley need replaced...

I am concerned as you say before this issue you had a "communication error". Why would replacing the head rectify this problem? Two months is a very long time for one of these printers to be turned off completley. Maybe it is a motherboard, powerboard or commboard issue. If the machine has been...

Has anyone had any issues with Signlab 9.1 new 1.06 patch? They have already rectified one of the problems with a replacement dll file, but I am still having issues. SC

I believe the yellow is also on this head. Can you manualy oull ink through the magenta/yellow head? Is only yellow coming through? Seems vey odd that even just a few nozzles of magenta have not come back after only 4 days unused. Is the cartridge securely pushed in and can you manually with a...

Make sure the head is clean and the maintenance station and wiper is clean also. Also is the printer spitting on the spitting pad and is the pad relaitivley new? I cannot remember if spitting can be knocked off, I know you can get it to spit onto the material or the spit pad. If it is not...

It is not just about the vehicle or sq foot area it is also the material that is used. For instance the difference betwwen using 3M IJ-180 and Arlon DPF 6000 is about 50% more fitting time. Arlons material is no way as forgiving as 3Ms and takes a lot longer to apply. I am always suspect about...

Time for new pumps! Especially if it had wore a flat spot in the hose! SC

I have just bought Four second user machines which are:- HP Elite 8100 Desktop Core i7 Quad Core 2.80GHz 500GB HD 8GB DVD-RW Win 7 pro 64 bitThen I have up specced them with 240gb SSD and 1Tb graphics cards. New 24" Monitors, Keyboards and Mice. Some of them I have tagged a second monitor to...

More likely to be a cracked manifold or seal between head and manifold. Also could be a leaky seal on a damper or damper itself. It would seem a bit drastic to replace a complete line and in my opinion it is very rare for lines to leak, and if they do you will see the leak. Start with the easy...

Hi My understanding of the JV5 series of machines, is they are high volume fast machines. Made for large printshop with fast output. This is not your average shop machine. Maybe you are just not using it enough or maybe way too much! I have experience with mimakis JV3 and JV33 also Mutohs...

I would say it is a silicon contamination problem which makes the ink not stick and creates this effect. If it is a new roll I would roll out 2-3' and try again. If it carries on I would send the material back as I have had this problem all the way through a roll before and it was a...

I have had similar issues, in fact twice in the last 6 months. Take all the cartridges out and shine a torch into the cartridge bays. Check the internal card readers (the part the card chip touches). If damaged they can short out and make the chip unreadable. These can be replaced if a little...

I think you have found the problem and I would agree with vanders comments about the head not being pushed down properly. As the main issue with the cleaning system is that it has a good seal. Looking at the way this head has been installed and the damaged manifold I would question the...

As for purging the system colour by colour, I don't think it is possible unless you disconnect the pump lines to that head. Also on each head their is two colours, so you cannot purge just one at a time. Personally I would do a head wash, start it off and then turn the machine off and unplug the...

This could still be an electrical issue. Turn off the machine by the power, then unplug it completely from the supply, then press the power button on and off 6 times. Replug the machine in and see if it fires up. Failing this I reckon it may still be a cable problem so replace all the head...

If their is no ink been pulled through the pump and the head to capping station seal is good. The only way to see if their is ink getting to the head is to pull the dampers from the manifold and see if you can pull the ink through them. If the machine has been left unused for some time the head...
