  1. JV3 160 SPII Quality issues

    First thing- Get it to print correct unidirectional- the prints will be better, and it's not much slower either, as it pauses when printing bi. Too high temp could cause these banding issues. How do your test prints look? (test-enter)? The media comp is not causing this banding. It's...
  2. Daily cleaning solution?

    If you have a cleaning cartridge, it can be cut open, same stuff, it's also much cheaper than buying it in the small bottles. Other than that- have no idea, it's not regular paint thinner. May try an auto paint shop, they may have something that will work, bring a printed sample and try...
  3. Mimaki JV3-160SP Cyan problem

    Hei. Send mig en PM, så sender jeg en Maintenance Manual. In the back of the printer, under the capping station, is a cover, loosen the 4 screws (just loosen, don't remove), take off the cover, you will see the pumps. Switch the hoses coming from the head that does not pump, with the...
  4. JV3 160 Printing on Polypropolene

    We have printed lots of PP-film banners. Just make sure to use a profile that does not lay down a lot of ink, as it does not need much. Makes great roll-ups and posters!
  5. registration marks for manual cutting

    Yes it does! After making the file in FlexiSign, designate a contour, hit "rip and print",and, in one of the boxes, depending on version, you will find the option to print marks, and print only or cut only. It's super easy, works every time. And we use it for all our print and cut jobs...
  6. Thoughts on a Mimaki CVJ30-130

    We just traded our JV3 for a GS6000. And have a SummaT140 cutter. The cutter takes almost no room at all, our printer room is 10' x 15' and have the GS6000, the cutter, the Epson 10600 and an A3printer/copier, as well as a rip computer. I guess it would be OK to have the combo, but would...
  7. Got our GS6000

    We got ours too! WOW!!!
  8. ordered reflective vinyl and it is tunneling

    Maybe you forgot to specify that you intended to cut it in a vinyl cutter when you ordered ;-)
  9. PRICE range question

    Check ebay. Make an automated search that notifies you when one come up.
  10. What is it with laminate?

    I said this in another thread but... Why buy paper? We all have rolls of backing paper we can run through the laminator and put small prints on. Prints that start to move to one side or the other can be straightened, at least on our Sallmetall Vista, we just move the roll over by...
  11. why is laminating such a PAIN :frustrated:

    Buying paper??!!?? How about all those rolls of used backing paper? If our prinst are smaller than the laminate, we just load a roll of backing paper and let that feed in, and lay the prints on top. No sweat. If long prints start going crooked, just adjust them sideways. For a while...
  12. ERROR 20 , mimaki jv3 16

    Well... If your main board is fried, your heads may be clogged, if they are not flushed. It may be a waste of money to have it fixed, as you are looking at $6-8k to replace the heads, plus the main board. Maybe up to a $10k job... You can get a good one for that price, and keep the other...
  13. cap station not holding fluid...

    Check the pump manually, when turning it forwards, it seals, turning it backwards opens it. If only the black- it's probably bad, as 2 heads / pump.
  14. Gs6000

    Looks like we're trading in our JV3 at a local dealer, and getting the GS6000! With 1 year warranty, heads included... I hope we'll need the warranty, if not we have wasted a lot of money :clapping: This dealer is also a FlexiSign dealer, they will give us all the profiles they have made...
  15. GS6000 for sale one ebay right now. $11,999

    Still though... 12k may be a bit high for one you know nothing about, if you can buy a new one for 17-19k... And I can't find the one from AllSquare- do you have a link?
  16. Windows Vista to 7 upgrade

    I have installed FlexiSign pro 8 on Win 7 64. I think most things that work on Vista work better with 7... Hated Vista, went back to XP on all computers, but like 7. Only thing I have not been able to run in Win7 is Daemontools.
  17. Installation of ICC in flexipro 8.1

    In Flexisign, you can reduce each color in the rip. We have consistently had to bring magenta down to 80% or so to get correct colors out of the canned profiles. We also try different profiles to find one that's good, depending on the job.
  18. Gs6000

    Good one :biggrin: I mean- any good reasons, except the obvious.... Price difference is in the $8K range... And with at worst a 50-50 chance of a warranty claim... Has anyone needed the warranty on these yet?
  19. Gs6000

    We are considering buying one from the US, as we save 1000's. Any cons to doing this? We'll lose the warranty, but will have good phone support and get good price on inks and parts. Is it hard to install by your own? (I did install and configure our JV3...) Anyone had anything break on these?
  20. Expired JV3 Inks???

    Hi. Resetting the battery will probably not make an "empty" cartridge work, as that only resets the date, and allows you extend the use of the cartridges. Something else must be wrong with your printer, since it detects full cartridges as empty. Try another full cartridge, it could be a...
