I saw the grimco video...just seems like it's really short and probably missing some key details. If it had audio I'd trust it slightly more. I guess I just pay the tech to come do it and observe him. Maybe I should set up a gopro in the corner and record his moves.

Evening bump...

Were you able to fix your problem yet? And did you have instructions or did you just start taking parts apart until you got where you knew you were headed? Still trying to find instructions...just want reassurance I guess.

In the "JV33 Bible" it just says refer to videos, but I can't find anyone who even knows these exist. It seems simple to me, but I am not going to attempt it without the directions. I have the head sitting here, and I'm trying to decide rather to pay to have the tech come and do it, or do it...

Hey Mike, I just ordered an OEM head from Advantage. I was debating rather to pay the tech $1,000 to come install it, or see if it was something I could do myself. Did you have any instructions or videos to help you out, or do you just know your way around it already? I'm hoping since it's...

I ran Bordeaux inks for 5+ years in my Mimaki JV3 and never had to replace a head. I've ran Triangle for 2 years in my JV33 and I'm about to change the head because I had a nasty head strike that I'm still kicking myself for. Same ink, different stink.

Thanks for the info! I might check out Jorge. I looked in the bible, and all it showed in mine was "please see video help"...and I can't figure out if these videos actually exist or not. If I could see a decent video on it, I'd be glad to try it myself.

Ha, and now that I look, they don't even have the JV33 printhead, just the JV3. I feel like I'm just stuck paying $3,500 for this with no way out.

I've ready a lot about CMYKParts.com and people seem to be happy with their product. I had a headstrike and trashed my printhead. I'm trying to justify paying $3,500 to pay a tech to come to me and install one from a service company, but the service tech also said knowing my background that I...

Thanks Rex.

Anyone know this? Or even something remotely close?

As an expert...I must agree with this statement.

I don't know. They told me they can't recommend anything. I guess I can put a giant sheet of vinyl on it to cover the old dates, I just know those don't always hang on as well as something smaller since there's a good chance of it flying a little while hanging over a street.

I have a banner I need to update, and in the past I have just got out the cleaning solution, and it pulls the ink right off the banner. Now, this was a giant two sided deal that I ordered from Signs2Trade, and their ink is so amazing, that I don't have anything in my shop that will cut through...

Totally awesome. I know several people who have been in that mans shoes and would love to have an opportunity to see their child as they truly were. Thanks for sharing.

If they type bad and have horrible English, it's a scam in my area. Generally everyone in my town knows me, has been referred to me, or knows my family's last name since we're all in small businesses. When you respond to these losers and tell them to get a life, they get real fired up. It's...

I seem to get in moods, and it probably has to do with how busy I am, where some times, I just want to print everything in house, and other times, I'm so busy, I have to outsource it. That being said, I still normally fire it up every day for SOMETHING. I make a lot of money on rush order...

I had a large job a couple months ago that I just locked the doors for two days because I had to get it done, and I RARELY have a job walk in the door that is more than a tire kicker. Most of my money comes in through repeat customers that just email me and don't need to discuss anything. The...

Sounds like you've already got the plan, but the projector method is pretty easy too, if you can do it in the dark. Works well for us on bigger stuff.
