  1. Need Help Mutoh Valuejet 1304 Width Problem

    Check through your printer settings for a setting called, "Margin". That's where you can adjust the amount of space it leaves on the sides. That being said, the machine is't really made to print edge to edge. You can do it but it's not really an official feature so you have to trick it.
  2. Question Printing head serial number

    You should be able to just install the head and ignore the head rank then. It just won't reset the shot count so when you go to sell the machine, it will show the head as being really old.
  3. Question Printing head serial number

    What machine are you working on? Most machines will allow you to install the head without the head rank. It will just use the old one.
  4. Need Help SYSTEM HALT (*)406 : WIPER ORG - Mimaki CJV150

    As long as the wiper isn't jammed and can move freely, either the sensor that detects the sensor origin is dirty or damaged.
  5. Printer Suggestions

    Any modern digital printer that is properly calibrated will hit most of the colors you want but I have heard the Epson SureColors have the edge. Investing in the color correction process instead of relying on boxed profiles is what will give you the ability to hit pantones reliably. As far as...
  6. Question Guess I was scammed - Where does the machine report data is stored?

    Check all the fuses on the IO board. It's where the head signal gets amplified so if the fuse protecting that circuit is blown, the head won't get a signal. The IO board handles a lot of things but it's totally possible for one circuit to be blown and others not on the same board which is why...
  7. Pfffft Bring It

    I do not miss this part about the north east!
  8. Question colors and print jobs

    Exactly. If you go in and change the rendering intents to the same method, you can keep your vector objects which is how I prefer to do it but a lot of guys rasterize everything.
  9. Question colors and print jobs

    If the logo is a bitmap and the rectangle with white lettering is vector, your RIP might be setup to render them differently. It's pretty common that RIPs set the rendering intents to two different methods for vector and bitmap.
  10. WTB 1204 power board

    Check out Ebay and Craigslist. People are selling parts machines all the time. Might be a few on here actually. Good luck!
  11. WTB 1204 power board

    I can have one drop shipped from Mutoh to you but it won't ship until tomorrow. You can choose overnight for the quickest shipping option. Just make sure you order before tomorrow morning or it will add an extra day. Here's the link
  12. replace the spout rubber message

    Are you using white ink by chance?
  13. replace the spout rubber message

    Unfortunately the only manual I have simply says to take the old one out and put the new one in. If you take the bag out and look in there, it should be pretty straight forward.
  14. replace the spout rubber message

    I've never seen that error but I assume you're using a bulk system? In that case it would be the rubber seal in the 2 liter bulk case. See below. Feel free to contact us. We can have them drop shipped from Mimaki.
  15. Need Help Network chip Roland VP540

    Run the encoder setup and then encoder calibration in service mode. Both are automatic adjustments. Then try the limit position again.
  16. Effects of defective head?

    Yeah unfortunately official dealers and Mimaki techs aren't allowed to give out certain files including me. Search for "Mimaki FW Update tool 3" and I wouldn't be surprised if you find it online. Same with the firmware itself. Also, can't hurt to just contact Mimaki and ask. Sorry I can't be of...
  17. Roland 540 Issue Colour mix

    Usually cross contamination is caused by a bad / partially clogged cap top or a weak damper. If the cap top and dampers are older than 1 year, I would just replace them. Also, we've tried many different aftermarket cap tops and they just don't seem to work well. If you are using after market...
  18. Effects of defective head?

    Did you try to do it through Rasterlink or the Mimaki Firmware Update Tool? Also, which version are you on currently?
  19. Need Help JFX200-2513EX White ink seepage issue

    I couldn't find it for some reason but I'll send it over once I figure out where I got it in the first place!
  20. Need Help JFX200-2513EX White ink seepage issue

    I had a customer with a standard JFX200 who was printing on a similar substrate. He also had issues with the heads clogging up. Unfortunately the only remedy was to just stop doing that job. Mimaki has a PDF describing the jig requirements and they are very specific about not having any gaps...
