  1. CJV 30 dont print black

    The two black lines should also be separate so if it came out of even the other black line, it could be broken. Unfortunately you can't repair a broken one. On another note, make sure your maintenance station is actually pulling ink. If it's not, the black channels might not have filled with...
  2. Roland VS300i no test print after head install

    Joe House might know. He's more of a Roland guy than me.
  3. Roland VS300i no test print after head install

    You probably popped the head fuse. Unfortunately I've never changed one on that model so I'm not sure where or what rating it is. It will usually be on the main board, or slider board but some Rolands have a separate head control board it could be on. It's about the size of a couple grains of...
  4. Does anyone have a source for 1/32" thick applique letters 5/8" tall

    We have the raw material here in Denver if you have an engraver. Otherwise you might contact Sign Concepts here in Colorado. She does a lot of custom jobs etc. 303-232-5999
  5. Future sign maker..

    Ok so first of all the kerning is . . . . just kidding! Looking good!
  6. Mimaki CJV150 Colors Inaccurate

    It's our curse as sign makers. We know what it should look like, and when it's off, but half the time the customer doesn't even notice! If the machine sat for 6 months, the ink might need to be agitated. I'd give your cartridges a little shake and run a few cleanings. It could also be...
  7. Looking for parts list for CJV150 series.

    Feel free to call or contact us. We can get you virtually any part for that machine. Just can't give out the manual unfortunately.
  8. Mimaki CJV150 printing grainy/faded

    Even the highest quality vinyl can have a bad batch or the supplier had it on the shelf for too long. It looks like classic plasticizer leakage to me. But it could be temperature possibly. These machines do have an operating temperature range. Off the top of my head it's usually around 65-80...
  9. Mimaki CJV150 Colors Inaccurate

    Post some pictures. Maybe it's more extreme than I'm imagining.
  10. CJV 30 dont print black

    You might have popped the membrane between the channels. When you pushed solution into on channel, did it ever come out of another channel?
  11. Mimaki CJV150 printing grainy/faded

    Looks like a material issue to me. Can't think of anything printer related that would cause that. Have you tried another material?
  12. Suggestions Tech recommends Power Conditioner for Mimaki JV300 PLus?????????

    They might have recommended it if you are running multiple machines on the same circuit and couldn't get a dedicated one put in for whatever reason. Believe it or not, the circuit that amplifies the head signal is similar to a digital audio amp. So I guess there might be something to it. But...
  13. Suggestions Tech recommends Power Conditioner for Mimaki JV300 PLus?????????

    Yes the machine can pull 1440 x 2 watts when the heaters are at full blast. That being said, I took a look at the install manual and it doesn't mention needing a power conditioner. It only says to have the machine on it's own circuit without any other machines. I've also never been told to use a...
  14. Mimaki CJV150 Colors Inaccurate

    Your nozzle check looks fine but are you seeing anything that would indicate that the color starts printing ok but then fades out? That could be a damper issue. Also, is the room the printer's in climate controlled? Big changes in environment can affect color such as big spikes in humidity or...
  15. Client refusing payment

    Maybe it's just different for signs, we're installing printers, but I deal with people working out of their basement all the way up to military bases. If they have financing, we don't leave until we have the sign off to release the funds. If they don't have financing, we don't leave without...
  16. Client refusing payment

    I agree but if you need to take credit cards, a rock solid return and refund policy is key. I've won a bunch of charge backs simply because we are very clear about what our policy is.
  17. Client refusing payment

    We simply stopped giving people terms. For smaller items like parts and vinyl, nothing leaves the building without full payment. With printers, it's 50% upfront and 50% at install. We don't leave the install without payment. There's really no use for terms anymore when money can be transferred...
  18. Double Printing?

    +1 on head alignments.
  19. Need Help Roland XR-640 - Help with overspray issues

    It looks like the black is over spraying and the black nozzle check is deflecting so that's probably the answer. The tech can try to clean and recover those deflecting nozzles but if they can't, you'll probably need a new head if you can't live with the over spray.
  20. Client refusing payment

    Be careful taking or damaging the sign in any way before talking to a lawyer. Usually when a car is repossessed there's either a court order or it was part of a signed contract that the bank would repossess after a certain amount of missed payments. Unless you have a specific clause in your...
