  1. Printer - Cutter for heat transfer: dryer needed?

    First I heard of it. The BN20 has heaters that dry the ink but no external dryer. You should be fine.
  2. JV150- Prints coming out too reddish/pink

    The root of the issue is that the profiles that come with the printer were made in a different place with different environmental conditions to where you are and it affects the way the ink behaves. The best solution to this is to make your own profiles which can be expensive even if you do it...
  3. How to get DX4 head Rank

    I have installed over 100 DX4 print heads without inputting head ranks and there is absolutely no difference.
  4. Need Help Anyone know what causes these marks in adhesive vinyl when printing?

    You got it. I normally have my settings around 33, 35, 50 but it is going to be a little different for most people depending on the environment and what type of media you are running. 50 on the post heater helps ink curing and shouldn't affect the media.
  5. Need Help Anyone know what causes these marks in adhesive vinyl when printing?

    Those are head strikes. Turn the heat down and the vacuum up. You may need to put the head in high head height mode.
  6. Roland VS640 top cap

    We have them in stock and ship same day. Cap top. The link is to the Mimaki DX5 side of our site but it is the same for the Roland DX7.
  7. Missing a Magenta

    It would make sense but I am not 100% on that.
  8. Missing a Magenta

    There is no fuse that controls just 1 channel on that machine and in 9 years of working on machines I have never seen a damaged cable affect only 1 channel as well. There is a chance that a transistor on the main board has failed but usually you get major streaking in that case. I would check...
  9. Need Help Wrong or No Ink Cartridge Problem

    It's most likely not the card reader. You can clean that part with alcohol and it should be fine. It's more likely the pack end sensor that detects whether a cartridge is installed and if it is empty or not. Over the years the sensor can be pushed out of place and cause issues like this.
  10. Missing a Magenta

    So you replaced the entire capping station? Normally people just change the cap top so I just want to be sure. It is still probably a capping issue. Try crimping 1 of the waste tubes and then pull with a syringe from the other tube while the head is docked. You should get major resistance and if...
  11. vj1204 not power on

    I would take the memory out and air dust the entire main board then re-seat the memory. If that doesn't work, you might have electrical damage on the main board.
  12. Missing a Magenta

    It's a common issue on the JV33 and CJV30 printers. Usually changing the cap slider fixes he issue.
  13. Need Help JV33 Magenta head problems

    There is no adjustment for the cap but that is a pretty common issue with the JV33 and CJV30s. The cap slider wears out and causes the cap to be slightly off. This is the part I'm talking about.
  14. Need Help Mimaki CJV30-130 missing nozzles

    It's hard to tell just by looking at it but there is no apparent damage. The rows of nozzles are easy to see which usually means the head is older but other than that it looks normal.
  15. Need Help Mimaki CJV30-130 missing nozzles

    $65 and we ship FedEx or USPS.
  16. Need Help JV33 Magenta head problems

    It looks like there may be physical damage to the nozzles on the magenta. Did you have a head strike recently? Check the bottom of the head and see if you see a scratch or dent near the magenta nozzles. If there is, you need a new head. If not, the first thing to check is that all of the...
  17. Need Help Mimaki CJV30-130 missing nozzles

    Yeah that capping station looks pretty bad. We sell the cap top and throw the slider in for free. The slider goes bad on older CJVs and causes the cap top to not seal up properly. Judging by the bottom of your head, the cap is slightly off alignment. We'll help you install over the phone as well!
  18. Question What are your main issues with Mimaki CJV150?

    With current promos you can get the 130 for $500 more than the 75. Almost every customer I have ever had who said, "I don't need the bigger size right now." came back 6 months later wanting to upgrade. If you truly only do bumper stickers and promotional stickers then 30" is fine but after the...
  19. Program Installation "C" or "E"? - Performance Question

    Usually the more space you have open on a drive that is processing the files the better. That being said, unless the E drive is a solid state drive it probably won't have a noticeable performance difference.
  20. Why JV150 So Cheap?

    Mimaki is just competing. HP and Epson both made a huge push into the sign printing part of the industry starting about 5 years ago and have quickly gained huge market share as they are huge companies compared to Mimaki and can afford to sell their machines for cheaper to gain market share...
