As a Graphtec dealer, I love their machines and hate their support. Even as a dealer it can be a huge hassle to get someone to get back with you. Also, if your machine is more than 2 generations back, they do not support the machines. Basically, if you have anything older than the CE5000 and...

You used to be able to downgrade the firmware but once you upgrade to a certain version, there is a block in place that prevents you from doing it. I'm sure there is a Russian hacker out there who has figured out how to do it but as far as I have seen, you can't anymore.

That machine has 4 lamps. 2 large stationary ones and 2 smaller ones that move. When printing without white ink, you place them at 0. If you are using white ink, you move them depending what layer the white is printing. There should be an explanation in your users manual on where to put them. I...

After a bad break up when I was 23 I packed 1 bag with the stuff I wanted to keep and got rid of everything else. I got a 1 way ticket to Denver and never looked back. It was the best decision I ever made. You are young and have no ties to hold you down. Do it! It's fun and sometimes...

Change the magenta and yellow dampers if you want to avoid this problem in the future. As the dampers get older, they weaken and the filter clogs. When they are too weak to hold the proper pressure, ink starts to flow back up through the head. The magenta and yellow colors are shared by the same...

You can't override the chip readers and Mimaki won't send out new chips for expired inks. Your best bet is to find a 3rd party ink manufacturer who will sell you knock off chips without the ink. I'm not sure how well expired UV inks work so try at your own risk. I have seen people use solvent...

You can run the 500mm Square calibration and that should help keep the aliment as the media feeds through. It adjusts the scale of cutting so that it matches better with the print on longer jobs. Page 105 to 106 in the maintenance manual shows this procedure. You should be able to find the...

It's most likely the head. When the nozzle check prints fine but other prints don't, it is because the nozzle check uses the largest dot size where as other prints use variable dot sizes. The large dots are the easiest for the print head to print but when it tries to print smaller dots, the head...

What is going wrong with the auto registration process? It is far superior to the manual method and I am thinking you just need to adjust a few settings and you will be up and running. Setting up the registration manually is so 1995.

This Driver is will work in windows 10.

Usually when the missing nozzles move around like that it means there is an ink flow issue due to an air leak or a broken membrane in the print head. The first thing to check is the ink line and dampers. I would replace the dampers and o-rings to see if that fixes this issue. If you see air in...

Voted. Good Luck!

It means the heaters have reached the required temperature. And no, you can't turn it off :banghead:. So every time the heaters lose heat during printing and then reheat to the proper temp, it beeps. Some people will put tape over the beeper which is on the main board. This muffles the sound...

Rasterlink 6 User Manual - Page 66 has the tiling methods.

The CJV30 will not accept an Epson head rank which is why you are getting error 30. Error 30 is a general error that basically means, "Does not compute". Some Epson heads did work in the machine a long time ago but Mimaki and Epson have made changes that make it very difficult to do now.

The JV3 is one of the only machines that will not print ink when the encoder sensor is fried. I would start there and then move on to the main board.

The main difference is the ink used. Your home use printer ink requires a coated vinyl in order for the ink to adhere. If you try to print on regular non-coated vinyl, it will fall off easily. Look up your manufacturer's website and they most likely have coated vinyl sheets that you can use...

Wiping the platen down with a Downy anti static sheet will help a little. If you are on carpet, that is causing the issue. If you can get an anti static mat to put the machine on or move it to a concrete floor that will help. If not, mix some fabric softener and water, 1 to 6 ratio is what we...

Take the right side cover off which exposes the motor, gears and belt that run the cutter back and forth. There is a gear that has a wider bottom than the top. One part of the gear has a belt that goes to the motor and the other part of the gear moves the belt that moves the cutter tool back and...

Rubbing alcohol and one of those plastic razors works pretty well. If the ink is fresh, usually the alcohol and paper towel work fine. Use the plastic razor for the harder stuff.
