  1. Need Help Illustrator Alignment not working

    This could be a bunch of things. Objects that are already grouped are considered 1 object so it can't align to itself. If there are clipping masks or compound paths it could affect the alignment. Also, text tends not to align properly unless they are converted to lines.
  2. Question Does this happen to you?

    That is not just your every day buckling. Either you left the material on there for a long time while the heaters were on and/or you have your heater settings set too high. Your pinch rollers look good from the picture but take a close look at them and see if any are eroding on the edges. Also...
  3. Rowmark Adhesive Failure?

    Maybe you just got one from towards the end of the roll. We apply the adhesive in shop here and sometimes when we get towards the end of a roll, the adhesive isn't as well distributed so we just chuck the last 2 - 3 feet. Maybe that's what happened here.
  4. cjv30 cutter slider board , Does it have a red light?

    The first thing to check is to make sure all pinch rollers that are being used are in the proper position. If not, you will get this error. There are little triangles that indicate where the pinch rollers have to be in order for the machine to work properly. As long as all the pinch rollers are...
  5. cjv30 cutter slider board , Does it have a red light?

    I don't have one to look at at the moment and Mimaki doesn't release anything that tells you what those lights indicate. Are you getting any error messages? What malfunction are you experiencing?
  6. Need Help Magenta line not printing on Mimaki CJV30-160

    I've worked on the CJV30 model in the field since it was released and have helped people troubleshoot that model all over the country. Not once in 10 years has a single channel failed electronically. It's always ink flow. Normally when a head fails electronically it either stops firing at all in...
  7. Need Help Magenta line not printing on Mimaki CJV30-160

    What happened when you switched the channels?
  8. Need Help Magenta line not printing on Mimaki CJV30-160

    1 magenta channel failing on the CJV30 is a fairly common issue. It's usually fixed by changing the cap top and cap top slider. The older the machine the more likely that is the case.
  9. Need Help Roland TrueVIS SG-300 Grainy Prints

    In the USA they are called lemon laws. Most states have a version of this law. Basically, if you buy a machine and it doesn't work as promised, the manufacturer has to replace it or refund your money. There are limitations of course but they are usually easy to enforce. That being said, you are...
  10. Mutoh 1324 Print Issues

    VJ1324 printers are solid machines and if this is your first print head change, I would stick with it. Other than the head and maintenance station, most of the other parts hold up well over time. If you maintain it properly, you should get another 3 - 5 years on the new head and sometimes...
  11. Mutoh 1324 Print Issues

    Looks like your head is done for. That much over spray in the cyan is almost certainly an electrical failure. You also have cross contamination going on which could be internal damage to the head or a failing maintenance station.
  12. New here from VA, looking for Prismjet users.

    They are the same machine but I don't think the PrismJet has the drop master tech on board so that would explain part of the price difference. As stated above the Mutoh has a longer warranty and Mutoh requires their dealers to honor the warranty without limitations. The PrisimJet only has a 1...
  13. Need a profile for Oracal 3165RA

    profiles.saicloud.com This is Flexi's profile website but the profiles themselves are universal. Might find it there.
  14. Roland GR-640 Cutter is a POS stay away DONT BUY!

    I got a kick out of this. First of all I agree that all printer companies are making it artificially harder to fix their machines and adding unnecessary sponges and doohickies. But to think Roland or any other manufacture cares about us lowly field techs getting rich is laughable. Service calls...
  15. CJV 150-75 Rasterlink 6

    Call Mimaki and see if they have a dealer you can purchase from. You can download Rasterlink from their website which is a 30 day trial and then you will just need to purchase a password.
  16. HELP! Mimaki CJV150-130 Cutting

    You probably won't get a perfect consistent cut on that shiny mosaic vinyl. The sensor that reads the crop marks is an optical sensor so any abnormality in the light bouncing back will throw it off. If the problem still happens on white vinyl, then there is probably an issue. Have you tried just...
  17. SP-300V capacitors

    Usually when a fuse continues to blow it's a bad cable some where along the line or a damaged terminal that the cables plug into. I would start by checking all the cable leads and making sure they aren't dirty, damaged, or corroded. Also air dust all the boards and pay special attention to the...
  18. HELP! Mimaki CJV150-130 Cutting

    Have you done the print/cut alignment via Rasterlink?
  19. SP-300V capacitors

    What kind of issue are you having? It's pretty rare a capacitor causes an issue on these printers unless you can see it is physically damaged.
  20. Ran out of ink.

    You are good to leave it overnight. We have demo machines that sit for much longer than that without issue. It might require a cleaning cycle to bring back some nozzles that might have dropped out but other than that you're good to just leave it.
