I see what you mean. If it wasn't Advantage I probably wouldn't be paying it. Everytime they send somebody out I get a good experience, their tech guys are 2nd to none. I guess for $180.00 per hour they damn well better be!!!
I am going to watch the guy replace the heads tomorrow as well as...
I wonder the same thing. It seems like Mimaki parts in general are so much more expensive. I have found this will several other parts as well.
I love my printer but it would take an act of god for me to buy another Mimaki.
Thanks,

Thanks for the heads up guys! Tech is going to come tomorrow and put the OEM heads in. Don't need to take a chance I guess, just sucks to have to dole out the bucks...
Guess, I need to raise prices! lol

Hello all,
Looking for the most cost effective place to buy print heads for my JV3. My tech from Advantage quote me $1,025.00. Anyone here know where to find them a little bit cheaper?

Thanks guys for the input. I will try to search for the manual to replace the pumps and dampers.
If anyone that happens to read this has the manual or directions please post if you would.

Thanks for the reply. I did do a search and didn't find much in way of information that was helpful.
I think I might just go ahead and order the parts and try it myself, why not eh? Sounds like it might be pretty simple.
Just was looking more for a set of instructions or details if anyone has...
Hello,
Looking to get some feedback on some maintenance for my Mimaki JV3. I need to replace the pumps and damper as I have had this thing for about 2 years and everything is original. I might as well replace the capping station as well.
I got a quote from my local vendor to replace the damper...
After reading some rave reviews on the Arlon material from TecDaddy, I gave it a try and must say I was very impressed. The material is very workable prints nice and is at a great price, I would go for it.
Thanks,

Why not go with another print cut system or a printer and cutter separate combo. Personally I think the Gerber edge is find for cutting and printing little decals but expensive to run as well as expensive to buy to be limited to 15" or whatever it is.
I would also go and demo each type of unit...
Sorry I forgot to mention the printer is a JV3 and I am printing unidirectional.
I never really print 4 pass only maybe when it is a banner, short term or going on a racecar or something otherwise it is almost always 8 pass. Just noticed a little banding today while printing some small logos...
Hey all,
When I print items in 4 pass vs. 8 I get a little bit of banding between the colors. When I print 8 pass it looks smooth and lucious...
Is this normal?
Thanks,

Anyone know if Versa Works is compatible with Apple products? I am looking at possibly purchasing one of those new Versa Art printers and have an all MAC office.

Be pretty cool if you could get this to work. Be a neat niche.
I think I recall from my days of skateboarding way back when that they have a transparent style grib tape. I want to say one of my old Mike McGill boards has some stuff printed on the top and have clear/transparent grip tape...
Have had the same problem and replaced the board in the printer, the computer, the firewire cord itself and updated everything and it still happens every now and again. Of my printer tech where I bought it from has looked into it but has no answer other than telling me it is my computer. I tried...
I have a 22" Samsung LCD widescreen and I love it. Not sure on the model number as I am not by it but it sure is a nice monitor, i'd buy another one if I needed it.
