Try slowing down the speed to 5 cm/sec and see what happens. Also this can happen if the rollers are starting to stiffen up. We have found it is good to replace them every few years. The stiff rubber allows the graphic to slip a little while plotting. Make sure you take a wire brush to the...

After you print the graphic place small pieces of Scotch Magic Tape over each of the marks. Make sure it is the frosted looking (Magic) tape as this reduces the light scatter and helps the plotter see the marks more accurately. If this does not work you may need a voltage adjustment made to...

Most likely the waste tubes coming from the Cap and going to the Pump are clogged. In particular the small "H" Connecter that attaches the hard tubing from the Cap to the Softer tubing on the Pump are where you'll find the clog. You can disassemble and likely poke the clog out with a paper...

Actually we’ve run into this too when a custoner has added a new “plus model” to suppliment an original JV300. Even though the machines are almost exactly the same, Mimaki seems to have have neglected converting many of the 720x1080 profiles over to the new model in favor of using 720x1440...

This most likely means that there is print mode setting between the resolution or the settings that the printer doesn't recognize as a valid setup. Do you have profiles for the machine or just an ink setup option in the media type?

Your waste ink tank level needs to be reset under the Maintenance Menu. Once this reaches 80% or higher on some firmware versions it will not allow you to do certain functions. Once you lower this number down you will most likely be able to do a test draw along with a drop position correct...

Hi Jay, I have reached out to you a few times about the color profiling. If you'd like to discuss further please let me know. Have you adjusted your negative pressure since the weather has changed? The negative pressure can cause nozzles to not fire if it is too low and if it is too high it...

Yes, the UCJV has no automatic scanning system. You should check the Drop Position adjust when changing thickness of materials or the head height and check the feed comp when you change rolls.

It is most likely either the slider optical cable(looks like a cat 6 cable) or the actual fiber optic cable(thin black wire) itself. I generally start with the Slider Optical Cable as that is the less expensive part. On boot up the machine isn't recognizing that their is connection from the...

If you need someone else to come on site to help. I can most likely help. I have Mimaki Profile Master along with i1Profiler and Curve4 software in my toolbox. I am near Sandusky, Ohio. My phone number is 419-552-0194. Thanks! Brian Hendricks Technican/Partner American Print Consultants

Hi all, I have to ask why you're letting the printer roll back between layers instead of letting them all print at the same time? The printer is capable of doing a "virtual-stagger" on the heads and you can print up to 5 layers at one time (as shown here ) We've worked extensively with the...

First thing that I would check and adjust is the media comp. When in local mode select function > settings > media comp

Hello, This is typically caused because the graphics haven't out gassed fully before weeding the decals out. When the solvent ink hasn't flashed off fully the vinyl is super pliable and thin due to the solvent changing the properties. As the solvent out gasses it will start to return to its...

I agree with Open Signs about the independent workflow solution, but if you are limited on space the other option is the newer print cut machine from Mimaki called the UCJV Series. Instead of solvent ink this machine used UV curable inks instead. This would not be suggested if the street signs...

We might have one in our parts stash if you need one give us a call at 855-927-2465. Thanks, Brian

Sorry for the typos. Replied while out for a walk with my wife. I should have proofread it before sending! LOL

Frank is correct, Summa lmakes some of the best plotters on the market. A little expensive though. Graphtec take makes a good plotter and their new series has an upgraded the ARMS feature. The CE7000 series is very affordable. Their FC9000 series is great plotter for high production shops...

Richard, Monday morning I found a very similar email in my spam folder. Worded differently and the demand was $900. The email said that he put malware in my computer and now had all of my passwords and would start withdrawing money from all of my accounts unless I sent the $900. He gave me 48...

Hey Matthew, Sorry, perhaps I didn't explain well - When you Map out a Nozzle using Nozzle Recovery, it will still show as missing in the Test Draw, it's just that during printing, the printer will replace it out with other nozzles. Every once and a while nozzles in a head do seem to just...

Sorry, forgot to address the original question. As others have said, that one nozzle should not matter much, but there are a couple of other things you can try: 1. Ink Fill on only the Black - MAINTENANCE => FILLUP INK => SOFT - In the "Soft" Fillup you can choose to fillup just one...
