d. Lower the number of passes. e. Increase the humidity in the air. f. Print at 16 passes (kind of a catch all the cures most problems) Hey, Case- do you have a Mimaki??? Lower the number of passes to 16??? Print bi instead of uni, then you say print uni instead of bi... I want what...

Hi. We have been having the same problem, cool pattern though! On ours it goes away with "no color correction". I guess that makes it a rip / profile issue, but I can not understand why the heck it is not consistent? Why is the stripe dark one pass, then lighter the next? FlexiSign...

Just a shot in the dark, but... If you are able to print the gradient, then how about printing it first, then printing the orange and whatever else needs color correction afterwards? (Of course removing the areas you don't want to print) Keep an outline or something around the graphic to...

Strong clean it is then:thumb:

Install a ventilation system with a heat exchanger that recoups much of the heat leaving with the outgoing air. It's fairly low tech, where you force ingoing air through the heat exchanger, heating it up with the outgoing air. Then, basically, if air going out is 70 deg, and outside temp is 30...

Thanks for replies, I'll give it a go. So- I understand that it is not critical if a bit of air is left in the damper, as ink fillup will take care of that. Is the fillup sequence really necessary if we prime with a syringe or pump? We are running a series of smaller decals, and no big...

Hi. We are ready to replace the dampers on our JV3 160 SP. We are having some issues with ink starvation, prints fine a few passes, then lighter bands. We have been having issues since it was new a year ago, but now the banding is worse, figured first step would be the dampers. We...

We tried it in the JV3, but unless you will use white several times / week, forget it, as then almost all of the white ink will end up in the waste, and at twice the price of CMYK, send the job to someone else. Also; it will probably not cover black good enough, only use I see for it is on...

Something like that:-) 30-60... Don't remember anymore, my printer has now gotten into 2006, don't figure I'll ever put in older inks than that!! Just remove/replace that battery and never worry 'bout it anymore!

Same here, get error 10 once in a while, but only in the beginning of a print, so no big deal. Usually only happens when polling size (we never do that anymore, just write in the size it says on the printer), or when aborting a print and hit delete-enter a couple times. Just make sure to...

Yes, you can change the date, but only the WRONG way:banghead: I was very frustrated when I was being a bit too smart and changed the year, and the printer would not do as much as routine cleanings. Resettable chips are a waste of money as long as you are running original ink, as you then...

To use expired cartridges, you do NOT need to downgrade your firmware, or buy new chips or anything like that. Just remove the little battery on the main board, and put it back in. Date will now say 2005 or something, so all cartridges will be "new". It's a 30 minute job, it's free, and...

Well. Now we have done some Dual CMYK printing, colors are OK after using one of the Flexisign profiles and reducing Magenta by 20% in the rip/print. But- the horizontal banding is now worse in areas of dark coverage, today I printed large areas of solid, no color-correction squares of...

Nozzle deflection? Perfect test prints- that means everything OK, right? We have had nozzles drop out a couple times, but have gotten them back with light cleaning cycles. And- "edge hazing"- whatz that? PS- Our machine runs maybe 1 hr / day. Thanks!

You may be able to run newer firmware if you buy resettable chips, that read full ink every time you switch the printer on. Don't see why it would make a difference though. I will check into how often our printer returns to the capping station during a print, but it is not very often, and...

We have a 8-10 year old Summa T-140, works great, every day, 10' long cuts, meet up exactly. The OPOS-system is great too. And- after having used the T for a couple of years, I will never voluntarily go to a drag knife. Have someone demonstrate, it makes a great difference when weeding...

OK! Great tip about sewing machine oil! As for wipers, we "reuse" them untill they no longer look like a new one. As for the head wash, we have never done one in 6 months of use. Is that bad? We get perfect test prints. And- for these head washes- just fill up the capping station and...

Well, it's been a while since last time we tried, but it sits and does nothing while doing something about the dongle, we went back to using 7.6.2. Also, we got the version with internet update, we would prefer the dongle, to be able to use it on more than one computer, and the rip computer...

Today I switched from 6-color to Dual CMYK, and wow! Twice the speed, or, to be more accurate- the passes are twice as wide, which mean we can print 16-pass dual at the same speed as 8-pass 6-color... I hope this will make a difference; have not had the chance to check much yet. One thing...

Well, don't beat on the guy!:biggrin: We purchased 8.5 around 6 months ago, and it is still not working, so I can understand his happiness! I have sent 3 mails to esupport@sai.com (or whatever the address was), to get password help to open the stupid thing, and have not gotten a single...
