I would suggest posting a picture of your capping station cap. If it's worn out and not sealing well against the Head then you'll not be able to get out the air and re-prime the head channels that you put the dampers on. With that being said, what ink are you running in this machine? Seeing that...

Fun looking designs, yes white with solvent is a nightmare, whereas white with UV printers such as the Mimaki UCJV300 or UV100 makes great decals.

Maybe do a color replacement with the clear rather than a special plate?

You should still laminate, it would be difficult to apply cast vinyl without laminate and the material isn't indestructable. You still need extra protectant for the material itself and the ink sits on top of the media so you will want to protect the ink as well.

Sorry, you may have misunderstood about the SWOP or GRACoL input profiles - this is an additional, optional step. The main point is to change your color settings so that you’re not using the “Mimaki Expand Color” one. Here are the steps: Under the color settings: 1. Type in a name for your...

So by default, when you install a UCJV300 it sets up with "Mimaki Expand Color" as the preset in the Color Matching section of Rasterlink 6 by default. While this is good for punchy vector colors, it's not great for reproducing skin-tones or other more subtle photo images. Create a new Color...

Generally speaking, the same settings for Pressure Sensitive Vinyl usually work well for banner too. What kind of banner material is this? If it's a matte banner then this would contribute to some of the dullness. In Mimaki language the name the banner profiles "Tarpaulin" so you could download...

Sorry that is frustrating for sure. Could be just the separation? Maybe? Or some residual in the lines. Does the white look yellow-ish when you do a test draw?

I would also ask your dealer to get you printed samples of LUS150 and LUS120 from other printers and see if it is just a difference because it is a different ink.

Have you tried priming the system by using a syringe beneath the Cap? This is really the only way to tell for sure whether the Cap is properly sealing against the head. Also, when doing this you’ll need to pinch off the second line that goes between the Cap and Pump or you’ll just suck air up...

Hey there, Yes, we’ve relocated many of these. For your short journey, while it’s not neccessary to flush the system, it is critical to discharge the inks from the subtanks by going to #ADJUST => SUBTANK => DISCHARGE. The 4 chambers of each subtank share a common air chamber at the top and if...

Full disclosure - main reason for this post is shameless self promotion, however with that said, I do think that this video does a pretty good job of explaining the process of full cut & sew sublimated apparel production, which something we often get a lot of questions about. For a little...

OK, so it does exist: E107980 Take-up Drive Cable Approx $45 USD If you’d like us to order one for you, please get in touch with us at the office tomorrow. 855-927-2465 or orders@apcink.com

Unfortunately I'm not seeing this listed as a separate part in any of our service manuals, however I can shoot a message to Mimaki Support and then report back to you. One other option would be a used Take-up assembly complete with Cable. I'll have to check but we probably have a couple of units...

Also, as you're in North America, make sure that the Voltage Selector switch on the side of the machine is set to "120V". If it's set to 220V then the machine will struggle to ever get up to the temperature requested (FYI, the electronics of the machine are self-switching to whatever voltage you...

experiment with upping heat settings or even checking out a different color profile.

It’s possible that you might have a negative air leak on channel 7 that’s just minor enough that the machine’s pressure sensors don’t pick up on it, but big enough that ink could be weeping out of the head. Here’s the check I would do for this; 1. Perform a soft or normal clean and then make...
