I can only say one thing about manufactures firmware updates. 20% (or maybe a lot less) are for to update printing issues. The other 80% is to stop us using third party parts and inks in the machine. It seems that the manufacturers are not very forthcoming when you ask them what their new...

That's just like a customer we have had on the phone this afternoon. Ranting that "we have printed all his business cards, stationery, signs and vehicles with the wrong phone number"!!!! Strange though isn't it that he supplied all his details on a word document and we have just copied them and...

I will be running this machine as in four colour only so in reality the only time the heads will fire is for cleaning and testing purposes. SC

I have a JV3-160S, 3 head 6 colour printer which I will be running CMYK only. I notice you can install cleaning cartridges in two of the slots on the JV3-160SP 4 head 8 colour machines making it CMYKlClM and 2 cleaning cartridges. Thus keeping the right hand head clean. Can I do this on my 3...

Yes that's the part I need. Anyone got it? Thanks SC

Hi I am looking for the complete Head Height assembly for my JV3-160S as this is missing from my machine. This should have the plastic lever, a pin and a bracket. I don't know if they are different on the S or SP but they look mighty similar. Post to the UK? Many thanks SC

Cheers Chaps SC

If you could have a lookie and help me please? Thanks SC

The machine is a JV3-160S. I am not near the printer at present so no pictures at the moment. I have had them through my ultrasonic cleaner once and I am leaving them soaking in cleaning solution every night in the machine. During the last couple of days I will say that on test printing in the...

You are not going to be able to show potential customers of what it will look like in metallic unless you physically print a sample. Or maybe print some example prints in your shop, as printing samples of customers work can waste a lot of productive time on your machine. SC

Well as the week goes on more and more of the nozzles are working. So my continued cleaning is working. Now for my next question is about head alignment (as this machine has 3!)? When doing a test the print is very blurred, I guess this is a lot to do with the alignment of the heads. Is their a...

Well the answer is:- YES MY PRINTER HAS GOT BETTER!!! After a bit of fiddling and cleaning some old heads. I have at last a test print of my computer. Yes I still have a lot of work cleaning heads as I have about only 70% firing but at least I now know it works. Well pleased with myself. A...

I am currently re-instating an old Mimaki JV3 in our workshop. I will be using my Laptop to get it up and printing again and require a RIP programme to run the JV3. Is their any free RIPs I can use just to get it doing some test prints from a computer? Cheers SC

Over the last year and a half we have had a competitor move in our area and under cut all our work to the point were their prices were cheaper than what I could buy the materials! I have stuck to my prices and lost quiet a few so called "loyal customers" who have been given a lot of freebies and...

Your never gonna win cheapness always wins. Most of the time the ones doing the cheap crappy wraps will have no come backs as the customer thinks "it was cheap anyway"!! If you sat your customer down in front of their vehicle whilst you wrapped it, they would understand the costs of a quality...
