  1. Mimaki UCJV-300 Reviews

    In regards to the original question posed, we've been selling the UCJV300 since they were first released, have a lot of them out in the field and really can't say a bad thing about them. Certainly not the fastest machine out there when configured 6-color + white, but makes up for that by being...
  2. Mimaki UCJV-300 Reviews

    Just wanted to chime in on this thread regarding the Head Strikes. Just like the JV150/300, CJVs etc that share a similar design, the media generally lays very flat going thru the machine, so head strikes should not really be an issue. One important thing to check is that both the Feed Roll...
  3. Need Help Mimaki CJV150 Missing 1 Nozzle

    The carriage on a CJV150 locks automatically when in sleep mode or completely turned off. If you want you can tape the carriage in place, but it’s really not needed. You can flush the lines if you want, but I don’t think it’s necessary. We relocate printers for customers all the time, plus we...
  4. Need Help Mimaki CJV150 Missing 1 Nozzle

    Matthew, one missing nozzle out of 1440 will not effect your prints. I would bet that if you keep printing as usual the nozzle will eventually come back. Although as previously mentioned it is best to have them all firing. And yes, it’s fine to use the flush cartridge as a maintenance...
  5. Need Help Mimaki JFX200

    Hi Ludwig, What we have seen in our experience is this problem is intermittent based on where the break in the optical cable is. As the head travels and the cable bends the cable breaks. When the cable isn't in this position it will function as normal. You would need to check the light...
  6. Need Help Mimaki JFX200

    Hi Ludwig, When you say "We checked the Optical Cables", do you mean that you actually swapped the fiber-optic cable out for a new one, or just visually inspected it for damage? While JFX200s are generally very reliable, as the earlier machines age we've seen increasing errors like these ones...

  9. Thoughts on degassing

    Media manufactures suggest waiting 24 hours before laminating so the eco solvent ink can fully gas out. The worry is if a print is laminated too soon the solvent that’s still trying to out gas will create “silvering” by pushing the laminate off of the printed media. Also, if using intermediate...

  13. New Member in need of some Profile Help

    Hi Brad, In order to switch from 6 color to 4 color is to shut down the RIP and then go into the start menu and all programs> Mimaki Rasterlink Pro>Printer Management. Once the program opens up you will see your printer in the list. From there you can either edit or go to properties and...
  14. JV150-160 vs jv300-130 Print?

    An i1 Pro is going to run you about $1,000 new, or maybe around $500 used. That said, just as sign-making is not a skill learned overnight, neither is color-profiling - You need to pay very careful attention to dot size selection, ink-restrictions, ink-limits and more. Also, although carefully...

  16. UJV 160 error "Limit(1M)" on first K cartridge

    It appears to me you have exceeded the expiration date of that cartridge by 1 month. It allows you to use the cartridge to print, but is trying to prevent you from using it much.
  17. Help! Need Mimaki JV4 advice.

    It has been quite some time since I worked on a JV4, but I believe 4 heads are controlled by the main PCB and the other two are controlled by an HDC board. If I had to guess there was probably a short somewhere in the main PCB transistors that is causing none of the heads on that board to fire...
  18. Sponge height or cap station depth

    As far as I know there aren't any sponges on the JV33 series printers except for the one to the right of the print head that should never make contact with the head itself. It is designed to collect the ink splatter from the wiper that flings up to the right of the head while wiping. It is...
  19. slider board compatability?

    The part numbers you gave are Mimaki's internal part numbers for the blank PCB itself and not the completed one that is populated with all the components. That said, if it have the right number of Head Connections (4-pairs) then you should be all set. There were two versions of the board, the...
