While I agree that erring on the side of caution is usually a good idea, in my experience customers rarely throw ink down the drain whether it's expired or not.

Give us a call. Our system is bad with international shipping quotes. We can get a manual quote or even better, use your account. Also, the main difference between OEM and aftermarket dual channel dampers is the filter. The OEM ones have laser cut metal and the aftermarket ones are more like a...

I agree with above. Too much ink and it's not curing fast enough. Try another profile and turn the heat up.

At least in Colorado it's illegal to video someone inside their home without consent. You can capture their front and back yards but any camera pointing directly into a window or similar is illegal.

I'm not familiar with that particular setup but I have run into this with other printers. If you have the option to slow the motor speed down and up the resolution, that should print crisp barcodes in any direction at the cost of speed however.

For sure. The lack of cyan is shifting it towards magenta. You actually have a lot more printing than I realized. Since it's really only the missing cyan, I would suspect a bad damper in this case. Do you see air in the cyan line? Also, it's hard to see if the yellow is printing.

If you look at the board it will have "IA0460" printed on it. If that's the case, it's a DX7 head and it's the same head used in the Roland VS/XR series or the Mimaki JV150 series or some Mutoh ValueJets. It's basically the universal DX7 head. There was a separate version of the DX7 that had...

That rules out the fuse then. Keep in mind that if you changed the dampers along with the head, the ink naturally receded back to the cartridges. It can take a couple little charges to get it all back. It sounds to me like the station might not be working properly. The most common issue with a...

On a brand new station, if you fill the cap with solution and then pull with a syringe without docking the head, it should flow through easily. If the tube is crushing and no solution comes into the syringe, either the tubes themselves are clogged (not likely on a new station) or something else...

The main board is the largest board on the very far left from the back of the machine. The fuse is on the main board close to the large black heat sink that sticks up off the board. Depending on how old your 1204 is, it's going to be either a soldered on fuse or a socketed one. It's not a glass...

Make sure your Function 3 button isn't stuck down. You're basically booting in firmware update mode instead of standard mode. If the button is not stuck, you might have a main board issue.

Sounds like a limit position problem to me. If that adjustment is out of whack, it will cause the head to fail to lock at the home position when the cutter tries to separate. There are a few YouTube videos showing the procedure.

People get a whole lot more patient when you charge a rush fee.

These random patterns are caused by a short in the head signal circuit. If you've changed the cables, the only thing left really is the head itself, or the main board. I usually like to air dust the terminals that the cables plug into just to rule out and debris causing the short. The head...

I don't know about the BN20 but Mutoh did something similar. If you upgraded the firmware on your 1204 it would take the ability to read the 440 chips. Mutoh uses the same cartridge tech as Roland so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.

I agree. Take a look at the CJV300 instead of the UCJV300. It should be cheaper too.

I hate showing up to a new machine install and the customer has a band new computer with a new OS on it. It happened last week when I was installing a Mimaki JV100. Was my first time even seeing Windows 11. To my surprise everything installed and worked properly! So if you're looking to run a...

If you have Illustrator or Corel you can get the Cutting Master 4 plug-in from Graphtec and apply the Graphtec crop marks to your file. After that you just print like normal and then load it in the cutter. To get a perfect print/cut alignment, you might get lucky and it's already spot on but if...

I looked into it and I personally sent an email response to you but it must not have gone through! Feel free to call if needed as it seems our emails aren't talking to each other.

It's most likely a network issue. Cut files are only a few kilobytes so the printer can store the entire file in memory. Print files I huge in comparison so the printer relies on the computer to keep feeding it data as it prints. My first guess is that the IP address for the printer isn't...
