Yeah I was going to say, $10k is good for a new machine from pretty much all major manufacturers. XC540s were great machines but very very old now.

If the cap top is OEM it should be fine. I have had issues with after market ones though. It sounds like possible the pump/tubes are partially clogged and causing the cap top not drain as quickly as it should. That would cause the contamination. You can usually just flush the tubes through the...

Mojave Sign Ad is great for walls and windows. We have had some signs up in our lobby for 5 years and they still peel off, although it gets harder every year.

YouTube has some videos on the replacement. It's fairly straight forward but if this is your first time I recommend taking a picture of how things are put together. that way you can reference it if needed. There are no alignments or special tools needed. Just remember not to tighten the screws...

So obviously the best way is to let the printer do the longstore procedure but since your maintenance station isn't working right you will need to flush the head as well to make sure it doesn't clog. If your cap top still seals with the head, you could do the whole procedure from the waste...

Usually the o-ring is stuck inside the brass nut. If you push it up the ink line it should pop out of place and be visible on the ink line. It's pretty hard not to make a mess with these dampers! After years of working in the field I still make a little mess once in a while.

You are going to be hard pressed to find one. The parts for that machine stopped being manufactured about 5 or 6 years ago.

It's not a computer issue it's a software issue. That's just how Rasterlink does things. If you go into the environments menu and the go to options, a window will pop up. The first tab it shows should be the Job Control tab. You can set the Hyper Job Setting to level 2 and it will process up to...

When you pull with the syringe do you get an suction at all or just pull air? A lot of suction but no ink means something is clogged. No suction and a lot of air means there is an air leak which could be a bad o-ring. Keep in mind that each color is connected so pulling from just one side will...

There is no such thing as a DX6 print head. It was a modified DX5 for a specific small format printer but was never actually a new type of head. All DX6 print heads you see online are DX7 heads and usually labeled by someone who doesn't know what to call the head. Not sure how this got mixed up...

Ok so you need to uninstall all versions of Rasterlink currently on the computer and then download the full installer. Here is a link to what should be the full installer (download button at the bottom of the page). Make sure when the window pops up you choose install rather than update. This...

Make sure it's the Rasterlink 4 SG version as that is the one that specifically supports the JV33. The fact that the JV33-01 pops up means the USB driver is installed and the computer recognizes it. I have no idea why the JV33 wouldn't show up as an option though. Make sure USB 2.0 is selected...

Which version of Rasterlink are you using?

You absolutely can. Also, you want to empty the lines after flushing. It's ok if there are a few droplets visible in the lines but you want to suck as much out as it will allow.

Yes you can put that board into your machine. If the CJV-130 board is completely dead you will need to contact Mimaki USA and get your original parameter file. Then you just upload the parameter file to the CJV-60 board and it should switch over to a 130. It will also be set to the default...

Welcome! But I can't help either.

It could be the media but that looks like the media is buckling to me. Usually it's because the heat is too high but any time the media buckles you will get patterns like that.

The blade probably broke the tip off. You can look at it with a magnifying glass to confirm. It should be pointy not rounded or chipped.

The order of alignments should be: Physical alignment (Requires a screw driver and #1 allen key) Bias (Making sure each of the heads are straight and not crooked) Vertical (Making sure all heads are on the same vertical plane) Non-Physical Alignments Horizontal (Changes the timing of the...

I would change the cap top if it hasn't been changed in over a year. Makes sure it's really clean and doesn't have any damage to it. While in there, flush the pump tubes to make sure they aren't clogged. Also make sure the bottom of the head doesn't have a bunch of build up on it. If it does...
