You should reload your original parameters. Mimaki dealer can get them for you. Load them, and don't do capping alilgnments in the future unless you are very careful and know what you are doing.

Set Standy by to 10 min and Off Time to 0min and test it. Let us know the results.

Most likely cause is pump failure. Not a total failure, but it no longer 'pinches' the tube closed when in the 'nozzle wash mode'. New pump will fix this. If you replace one pump, you may want to go ahead and replace the other. Chris RippinPC

Be careful Many users experienced black ink issues after switching to K2 Mimaki ink. You may have done this without even knowing it as you probably didn't have a choice. Don't take your heads out unless you know what you are doing as the JV5 is much harder to calibrate than most other...

I think I have some of these. Send me a PM and we can work a deal.

You may consider getting someone more knowledgeable in this area in there to help you in person. You sound like you need a day of training on printing and JV3 operation/maintenance. You should take a picture or scan of exactly the problem you are having. You may clear up your problem by...

Just do test draws and cleanings w/o the firewire board. It boots up with communication error, but doesn't stop the machine. Don't let the printer sit w/o power. I can get you one, but pricing from Mimaki is only going up. Chris

Never seen this error. Can you be more specific about how you got to this point. Maybe take a picture and share with us.

Thanks Mike.

I'm a tech, I wish I was there in person... Cartridges are arranged CCMMYYKK. Machine would display error if you had it wrong (assumes OEM cartridge utilization). Definitely agree that you need to fix the ''cartridge sensor" switch first. What does the line look like? If your test draw...

Plotter adjustments If you plotter starts plotting in the wrong spot, it is the # adjust photo sensor to fix. If it starts in the right spot but gets off as it moves along, the # adjust 400 mm square is probably out (could be some others too). Chris Wallace RippinPC@yahoo.com :wavingflag:

My Advice 1. 8 pass 720x720 var, or 540x1080 6 pass on vinyl. 12 or 16 pass 2 layer (double strike) is typical for backlight. 2. Dual CMYK is twice as fast all other things being equal. Most users are happy with dual cmyk setup. If you get one and want to change your mind, it is possible...
