  1. Opinions on JV100-160

    It prints great and is a solid machine but my customers so far absolutely hate the ink system. Instead of simply inserting a cartridge, you have to take the old one out, remove the empty bag, weight the new bag and input that into the printer, install the new bag into the cartridge, then install...
  2. Light banding?

    That's usually a sign of failing dampers.
  3. Graphtec FC7000 vs FC8600

    They don't make parts for the FC7000 anymore so you would need to source them from used machines. Not the end of the world as these machines last a very long time but something to keep in mind.
  4. So Frustrated Please Help

    With these machines you can almost never rule anything out but in my experience, when the power board goes out on a ValueJet it usually just doesn't turn on, or it turns on for a few seconds and then turns off. I'm thinking the main board will do the trick. The power board connects to the main...
  5. A few questions on efficiency with new HP Latex printer

    The answer to 1 is simply add the jobs into the production manager individually, select all the jobs you want to print at the same time, then just right click and select, "Nest." Flexi will nest them for you but you can go in and rearrange them if you want.
  6. So Frustrated Please Help

    I think it's definitely a main board issue so trying the other board could do the trick. The fact that it's trying to do something and freezing tells me that the CPU or related parts are failing. It might just be bad memory too. If the other board has a memory board in it, try swapping it into...
  7. So Frustrated Please Help

    If you have an older version of the 1204 that has the removable memory board, remove the board, air dust the terminal, and re-install. I've seen a dirty memory board terminal cause strange issues like this. I also would recommend just unplugging the machine and letting it discharge for about...
  8. Onyx print color difference question

    Do you have any effects going on this file? Maybe that one part of the design got caught up in the effect and was rasterized along with it unintentionally?
  9. Need Help Mimaki CJV 150-75 , been error for a month , error code 52a and 187

    If you haven't changed the sensor I would start there. The HDC board might just be fried as well.
  10. Roland Xj 740 printheads misaligned when parked on cap tops

    It would be in the regular menu usually abbreviated, "ENV MATCH." It's very possible that your machine is one of the ones that does it automatically behind the scenes but it won't hurt to look in the menu just in case.
  11. Roland Xj 740 printheads misaligned when parked on cap tops

    I don't know if this model has an environmental match but if it does, I would run that. It should sync the linear and motor encoders.
  12. Need Help VP300 Wipers

    Some aftermarket wipers are too stiff for that machine and it just gets stuck. The sound is the motor spinning out.
  13. VJ628 suddenly "not registered" and communication isnt available despite being connected and on and IP address correct.

    Do you use a different IP other than the default? Mutoh's have a tendency to revert to the default randomly for some reason so if you use a different one that could be the issue. Have you tried connecting to another device?
  14. 3042 MKII change clear to primer

    Why PM? Let the world know!
  15. 3042 MKII change clear to primer

    I actually have to sign an NDA not to give out certain manuals. Seems to be the way the world is going unfortunately. The primer is much more harsh than the regular inks. On the JFX200 if you use primer you have to get a special metal sub tank instead of the plastic ones so that might be the...
  16. 3042 MKII change clear to primer

    I don't work on your model as we've never sold one but I do work on many Mimaki machines including the JFX200 which works in a similar fashion. Usually Mimaki has a procedure to change ink sets and they always recommend a tech does it. They also usually recommend basically changing every part in...
  17. Question XR 640 Stops printing midway and screen reads "processing

    Sounds like a possible network or file processing issue. Are you setup to RIP and print at the same time or RIP then print? Try RIPing fully first and then send the job and see if the same thing happens.
  18. Need Help VJ-1204 Damper removal help

    Don't even put that piece back on. It doesn't actually do anything other than be a pain in the butt!
  19. Merry Christmas! I finally bought a printer

    Take a look at this video on Flexi's color mapping tool: I'm surprised more people don't use it to be honest. It takes a Pantone color and prints a chart automatically adjusting the color slightly for each square. Then you just pick the square that looks the closest and every time you send...
