Usually that's going to be a damaged main board. You can try to trouble shoot it by unplugging the head cables and then try to power on. If it still doesn't power on, unplug the trailing cables that go from the slider board to the main board and try to power on. If it still won't turn on, it's...

Mimaki usually develops the printer in Japan and once they figure out all the kinks, they move production to China. You can have two identical Mimaki printers in your shop and one could be from China and the other from Japan.

My guess is they just printed whatever file was given to them and whatever color came out became the, "right" color to the bank and the bank's designer. Then they just expected that everyone would simply print that pantone the same.

Glad to help!

I installed an EX with LUS120 the other day and the white looked super bright. We were printing on a black piece of vinyl though so that might just be an illusion. Just a note that may help, they recommend setting your lamp position to 65mm when printing only one layer of white. You can adjust...

I try not to contradict other techs if I don't have to but in this case, I've installed countless CJV150s and I do not see this as a common issue. Once in a while one cartridge might not empty but for all of them to do it regularly, it's almost always caused by an underlying issue like a failing...

I must have gotten my info from a bad source! Whoops!

Thanks for the shout out! I do see a single channel go out on some machines where it's not the head sometimes but you're right that it is more rare. Usually it's on these dual channel damper machine where there might be a bad seal on on but not the other and it causes flow issues.

Looks like the official spec says it's only screen printable which is probably why no one has made a profile for it. I'd go with what ikarasu said. His suggestions are all reflective from other bands.

Usually a single missing channel will be a bad damper but it could mean the head is damaged as well. A good way to determine which one it is is to simply swap the damper positions, run a cleaning, and print a nozzle check. If another color can print through that channel, the issue is most likely...

You should be able to cut that vinyl and laminate combo just fine. I'd take a look at your blade instead. If the tip is broken off, get a new one. Also, use a higher angle blade and it will cut and weed better.

I can get you virtually any Mutoh parts. Unfortunately their FTP site is down right now so I can't find a part number for the motor quite yet. Feel free to contact us and we can look into it further. support@solventinkjet.com

This is a good idea for the 600mL bags but not the 440mL cartridges unfortunately. The 440 cartridges don't use the weight system.

It's in the setup menu and they call it Feed Comp. You might also adjust the pinch rollers to push down harder especially if they are all set to low right now. I usually set them to medium all the way across.

Mimaki doesn't post print length accuracy specs anymore but their older models in general would spec +/- 1/8" over 8 feet. If you're printing longer than that, it can be off by more. So just keep in mind if you're printing long jobs that there is an expect amount of inaccuracy. Other than...

In Illustrator there is an option when saving as a PDF to, "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities." I believe if that is checked it will keep all your groups and layers etc.

Every once in a while a cartridge will not empty fully but if it's happening on all the colors all the time, make sure your machine is at least close to level. If it's tilting enough in one direction, it can make the carts trip the empty sensor too soon. Also, it could be a sign that the...

If you made a file in Illustrator or Corel and labeled it as 100% black, the RIP will still add the other colors in according to the color profile. You would need to specifically adjust the profile and it's settings to print a true 100% black. Saturn could still be right. The registration mark...

They're pretty hard plastic. I'd use a small flat head screwdriver to get it out. You should be able to do one side at a time. I think the comments above have mistaken your UCJV300 for a CJV30 which is different.

If it sat for 6 months with ink in it, multiple areas could be clogged. The heads are most likely clogged but I would assume the cap top/pump/waste tubes could be as well. I'd pour some cleaning solution into the cap tops and see If I pull it through the waste tube. It should pull through fairly...
