  1. Replacing Mimaki JV33-160 - How do you install a new main board?

    Do you have the parameters downloaded from the old main board? If not, you will need to get the original parameters from Mimaki. There is a jumper that comes with the new board that needs to be installed on the board to tell it which model it is. If you didn't get one, look on your old board...
  2. Jv33 - how to pull ink through the head?

    Once the valves in the back are opened, the system is open and ready to move ink through.
  3. Jv33 - how to pull ink through the head?

    You got it right. Open all of the valves and pull with the syringe. Make sure to clog the other waste tube so that you pull ink from the head and not air from the other waste tube as they are connected to the same compartment.
  4. losing ink???

    Definitely check your auto cleaning settings. I normally set machines to anywhere between 8 and 12 hours although some people will go to 24 hours so that it only cleans once a day while you aren't using it. It is possible that your setting is just really low but that would affect all of the...
  5. I'm looking for a safe e mail provider ? Suggestions Please.

    Password cracking software usually works by taking information about the person such as birth date, kids names, pets names etc. and using that to guess the password by using different combinations of those bits of information. You can also brute force passwords by guessing every combination of...
  6. Mimaki JV3-250SP issue with error10

    The JV3 model has DX4 print heads not DX7 just so you know in the future. I would try printing to the parallel port. You can use a USB to Parallel cable and it should work. Belkin brand works the best for me. Error 10 could be a bad 1394 board or the connector that connects it to the main...
  7. losing ink???

    What is the machine model? Is the waste tank filling up? Have you taken the cartridges out and felt how full they are? If the cartridges feel fuller than the machine is saying, you might have a bad ink level sensor. If the waste tank is filling up and the cartridges feel empty, you probably have...
  8. Looking to get a 55" cold laminator light weight

    I have 4 customers using this machine and it works great! They have improved the thickness adjustment to be one lever instead of 2 knobs on each side. This was the only flaw I saw in this machine and now that it is fixed, I would recommend this machine to anyone just starting up or even as a...
  9. VP540 - third party take up reel

    http://www.supply55.com/reelpro-s/35.htm These ones are pretty good. I have customers who have used them.
  10. White Ink not printing on BN-20

    From what I am seeing, you need to change the spot color name to, "RDG_WHITE" for it to be recognized by the software. Make sure it's all caps and has the underscore in the middle.
  11. Mimaki JV3-160sp trying to dump all of the inks.

    Artbot's method will work and just puts some wear and tear on the pumps. There is a parameter you can change that will tell the machine it is full already but it;s been so long since I have done it, I can't remember which one!
  12. Mimaki JV-33 USB & main board issue

    I'm pretty sure it's the chip directly to the right of the usb connector. If you look up, "USB Protocol Chip" on google it gives you pictures and that's the only chip that looks similar. Don't quote me on that though :wink:
  13. Mimaki JV-33 USB & main board issue

    If it's not being picked up by the computer when you plug in the USB, the chip that handles the USB protocol on the main board is probably fired. It looks like you have tried everything I would. You could reinstall the driver with the latest version but other than that, you probably need to get...
  14. Error 110 AND Temperature Too High error.

    You have a short in the print head. Temp too high means the temperature in the head is too high which can be due to the environment or due to a short. Obviously at 212F it's not environment so it has to be a short. Double check all of your cables going the the head and make sure they are all the...
  15. Heavy streaking from print head, xc540 HELP!

    I'm leaning towards a bad transistor on the head board. It looks like you had a short somewhere in the cyan electrical path. Whatever was shorting out may have just fried the transistor which would cause only one channel to drop out.
  16. Contour Cutting on Sp / VP and Roland Cutters

    Generally when the cut doesn't finish in the correct place, it's an Offset setting issue. Depending on the angle of the blade you are using, there is a specific Offset setting for the blade. The offset is the difference between the center of the shaft of the blade and the actual tip of the...
  17. machine sevice anyone

    Fly me out there and i'll get you up and running! What kind of issue are you having? The SP300Vs are one of the easiest machines to fix and I bet you could do it yourself with a little troubleshooting help.
  18. Rasterlink 6

    We figured it out. You can only run multiple printers at a time through Rasterlink while using the RIP & Print option. If you choose immediate print on both jobs, it will only print one at a time. You only need a dongle for the Flatbed machines. If you have a roll to roll Mimaki, you don't need one.
  19. Advice for replacing a Mimaki JV3

    The JV300 has 2 DX7 heads and it does fly. The JV300/150 series is, in my opinion, the best solvent machines out there right now. Other than the fact that they only run on USB and not Ethernet, they have all the features you could need and the speed and quality is on par or better than their...
  20. Is Roland the only Japanese company who...

    It happens on Mutohs and Mimakis as well. It seems like it would be easy to add a little rubber strip or something to close the gap but they don't ever seem to think about that. At the end of the day it's something I have gotten used to and just load at an angle as Gino said.
