  1. Need Help Thermistor Error for Jv3-160 SP

    There are a couple different thermistors on that machine so if it gave you an error number that will help. A thermistor is basically just a digital temperature reader. There are thermistos on the heaters to tell the machine when they reach proper temp and there are thermistors in the print heads...
  2. Printer in sleep mode gets stuck with wiper and stays on until someone hits enter.

    Is there an error code on the screen at all when it is stuck?
  3. HP Latex and sticker printing

    Where did you see the samples? The CJV150 is as fast or faster than the other models in it's class and the quality should be some of the best available. I would be interested to see which settings the demo used. It really comes down to who sets up the machine. Too many companies these days just...
  4. Ink Scratches Really Easy

    Low heat will cause scratch resistance to go down due to the fact that the ink can't bite into the vinyl; as well when it is cold. You want it to be as high as possible without buckling. Make sure your vacuum is set to the highest setting to make the vinyl sucks down onto the platen better. Keep...
  5. HP Latex and sticker printing

    New - You can't go wrong with a Mutoh VJ628 24" Printer and I assume you have a cutter already. It has the same print head as the bigger models so quality is top notch. If you aren't going to laminate, a Mimaki CJV150-75 30" printer/cutter will have a better work flow seeing as you can just tell...
  6. JV3 RIP Software

    Flexi is subscription based and will run the JV3.
  7. Paying to Play

    We just got hit for $600 and a lot of paperwork to be able to bid on federal contracts. We have been doing federal contracts for almost 20 years and never had to pay until now.
  8. Need Help Mimaki Cjv30-130 error code, and a little help

    Check out my signature below. The fuse you need is the 375mA one.
  9. Mutoh 1624 - Missing Magenta

    Yeah they use fancy names now but those are the dampers. On our site they are called dual channel dampers. I don't have any guides but it's pretty straight forward although extremely frustrating the way it's designed and could be much easier in my opinion. Disconnect the white connectors that...
  10. Need Help Mimaki Cjv30-130 error code, and a little help

    Error 205 means fuse 13 on the main board is blown or there is a short in the system which is usually in the print head cable or the print head itself. It could also mean someone tried to install a non-oem head. I would check the fuse and cables first. Also, you can tip the machine just make...
  11. Mutoh 1624 - Missing Magenta

    Change your dampers first especially if you have never changed them. They are responsible for keeping proper ink flow to the head and when they fail you usually get ink drop out.
  12. Suggestions Best Vinyl and Lam for lots of Direct Sun light

    We are Arlon dealers but also sell Oracal and FDC. My customers really like the 4600lx because it is similar to the 40c but less expensive. It does have a shorter life span according to the specs however. The 3M 40c states it is a 7 year film where the 4600lx is a 5 year. It's worth a shot if...
  13. Suggestions Best Vinyl and Lam for lots of Direct Sun light

    Arlon 3420 would last a good 4-5 years in those conditions. We have a large sign that faces south in Denver so it gets blasted with sunlight pretty much all day. It started cracking and discoloring at about the 4.5 year mark. The 3220 would resist cracking more and may have a longer UV...
  14. Need Help Replacing VP-300 Mainboard

    Getting the parameters off the old board just makes it easier and faster to setup the new one but it is not mandatory seeing as a lot of the time you can't even connect to the old board to get them off in the first place. You just need to pop it in an load the firmware but since you can't get...
  15. Need Help Mimaki JFX500

    If you go into the Setup menu and then find, "Work Change" you can turn that feature on and the printer will print the job, then it will return to the origin point immediately after. If you have the placement pins in all you have to do is send the job from the RIP with as many copies as you want...
  16. mutoh 1204 Question

    Never again until you put it in storage or move it a long distance.
  17. Cyan and magenta overlapping printing

    It looks like you are missing a nozzle on the very bottom of the head which makes the alignment seem right but it isn't. You did it right but without that last nozzle, it's hard to tell where to line it up. You need to make it so the top of the magenta is aligned with the top of the black. That...
  18. Cyan and magenta overlapping printing

    Your vertical alignment is way off. You need to do all of the alignments in order. Bias, vertical, horizontal, bi-directional default and then the user bi-directional. Just looking at the bias print you provided I can tell the vertical adjustment is off in a major way.
  19. Cyan Overspray on Blue Prints (CET UV Hybrid)

    I don't know that machine at all but it uses the same heads and technology as the JFX200 which I do have experience with. There should be an air pressure adjustment you can do. I would start there and make sure it isn't too high or too low. Edit: Never mind those don't use gen 5 heads.
