  1. Suggestions Entry level hybrid UV printer

    I don't have a solution for you but will tell you to stay away from the LEJ. I have only heard problem about them and they use old DX4 heads which were never meant for UV specifically.
  2. Discussion Which would you prefer.................

    I switched to 100% SSD a couple years ago and would never go back. I do use an HDD for backup though.
  3. Need Help Mutoh VJ 1204 E085Err Head Heat

    Head heat means there is a short in the head circuit which is heating up the head. Check the head cables and make sure they aren't damaged or dirty. Even a little bend in the silver connector will cause issues. It might have also blown the fuse but usually in that case you get no error and the...
  4. New Product Researching solvent printers for our canvas printing business.

    Epson has been around for a long time and has proven technology so it has a lot of followers. Almost every Roland, Mimaki and Mutoh printer you hear about are all based on Epson technology which means most people in this industry have had experience with Epson at some point,. HP Latex is the...
  5. JV33 Far Left Magenta Dropping Out

    I have seen many times where the left magenta fails on the JV33 and CJV30. It's usually the cap top slider that is wearing out. We give them away free when you buy a cap top but if you just need the slider, we sell them separately as well.
  6. Mimaki JV300-160 ES3, SS2 or SS21

    Most likely SS21 but you have to be sure. It should say which one you are using on the cartridges. ES3 is an eco friendly ink that scratches easily. SS2 is old ink that the JV3 machines used. SS21 is the most common ink used in Mimaki solvent machines.
  7. Roland SP-540V Help....test print overlapping test print rows

    I've actually never seen this particular pattern but it does seem to be electrical. I'm leaning towards a damaged main board as that is where the head signal originates. For it to happen on both heads it would usually mean the heads themselves are still good. Check the head cables for damage or...
  8. Roland SP-540V Help....test print overlapping test print rows

    Did it just happen out of the blue or were you working on the machine recently for any reason?
  9. Color Question

    Even with Pantone colors, the CMYK color space can only match about 55% of Pantone colors. At the end of the day, no matter where the color you are trying to match comes from, you are matching colors from different processes which is going to take some trial and error. I would try to get a...
  10. Mimaki take up roll never shuts off

    In my experience the take-up only rolls when a job is printing/cutting or if you scroll the media forward it will roll until you allow it to go back to it's origin point. You should be able to change how it works though. In the Setup menu there should be a sub menu for the Take-Up settings. In...
  11. When to change the ink cartridge?

    As long as your pack end sensor is working properly, the machine should tell you when it's actually empty and just change it when that happens. These sensors are pretty finicky however. Take a flashlight and look in each cartridge holder and compare to each other. Sometimes you can see that one...
  12. JFX200 2513 Air Purge Hose

    You can make one yourself using the connectors from the one you currently have. I usually use pump tubing which is softer but still works properly. If you don't have the connectors from the old ones, feel free to email me about it. I have them but they aren't on my site yet. I use this setup in...
  13. Rasterlink only cuts using a Mimaki plotter?

    Just like Versaworks only runs Roland machines, Rasterlink only runs Mimaki machines. usually my customers use a full featured RIP like Flexi or Onyx when they are using multiple brands.
  14. Bleed of multicolor object

    In these cases I usually select all of the objects I want a bleed around, copy and then paste in front, meld them together and expand, then just use the path offset function to set the bleed where I want it.
  15. Need Help Roland Pro ii is there a way to print CMYK NOT LcLm?

    I have fuses in stock here in the US if you need them. 3.15amp Fuse
  16. My Versacamm SP-300 says 0.0"

    Your cut tool carriage cable is going bad. Here is a link to a new one on my site. This is a very common issue with the SP300s.
  17. Need Help Printing on a mimaki, cutting on a mutoh

    I'm not sure there are any plug-ins but there is a section in the user manual about setting up the marks manually. See attached!
  18. Suggestions Scan motor error message

    Which motor error are you getting? Try running an environmental match. That should sync up the motor encoder and encoder strip.
  19. Seeking mimaki tech jfx200 2513

    Jame McGill travels around the midwest but I'm not sure if he goes your way. Worth a shot. 270 243-0599. Also, google PDS Equipment or ITNH. Both of them handle the Mimaki JFX200s nationally but might be expensive as they have to travel. You can also hire Mimaki directly to do it but they will...
  20. Software Help HOT FOLDER MISSING!

    Yes. In this case you would setup another spot color called CutContourHalf and it will use the half cut settings for that line. Just make sure you name it that exactly with capital C's and H.
