Make sure the cap top you installed has a blue rubber stopper on the third hole in the cap top. If that is not on there it will not work at all. Using a syringe and cleaning solution, push cleaning solution through the tubes that come from the cap top, through the pump and into the waste tank...

That's a common issue with that model. The two main reasons it happens is a bad design on the capping station and submerged waste ink lines. If your cap top does not have a wire mesh holding the sponges down, the sponge swelled up and touched the bottom of the print head which created a wicking...

Unless you have a specific application for the white and metallic ink that will be a regular money making job, get rid of them and go back to a 4 color setup. The metallic and white inks always draw newbies in because they a pretty cool but no one ever talks about the uselessness of them in a...

The American flag is in the public domain therefore you can only get in trouble if you copy someone else's stylized version of the flag. Using the American flag as a theme is the same idea. If there was anything wrong with it, you wouldn't see so many auto dealerships with American flag like...

A common problem I have seen on the FC-7000s is the y-axis pulley separates from itself which causes the gear to slip when the motor tries to move the cutter. Take the right side cover off and you will see the y-axis motor and a belt that goes to a gear/pulley. The pulley has a wider gear on the...

Bump - Coming up on Friday!

I had to sell a guy a new print head the other day because he left a screw on the platen after working on his machine. The head scraped across the screw and shredded the bottom of the print head. Always keep track of your parts and tools when working on your machine!

I would go with media on this one as well. Also, the spots where it is a lot lighter than it should be look like the media was buckling. Adjust your heat settings and load the media in a straight as possible to cut down on the buckling.

My general guideline is as hot a possible with minimal buckling. Generally for standard vinyl I am around the mid to high 30's Celsius with the post heat cranked all the way up. For banner it is a bit higher at around low 40's.

The fans turn on when there is media loaded. If the fans stay on all the time, your media sensor is probably blocked or broken. As long as you can print, there shouldn't be any bad side effects. If you are concerned you can try using compressed air to blow out the media sensor.

ICC profiles will print differently depending on environment, print head type and condition, media being used, ink being used and how the file's color settings are setup. For this reason, asking which profiles works for someone else is not going to do you much good. An actual example I have...

People are selling (and buying) new JV33s on EBay? The Dealer code should not matter. As a Mimaki dealer, I have never had to input one into a machine and I don't even know what our number would be if I had to.

Normally ink lines don't completely clog so I wouldn't worry about them as much as the head. If I were you I would flush the ink line from the cartridge area to the damper so that you get all of the ink out of the line and filled with cleaning solution. Empty the line of cleaning solution so...

We experimented with 3rd party wipers for the Rolands and couldn't find any that were soft enough to make it past the wiper scraper without jamming the system. We were able to cut them down but then they were too short to reach the head. We now only sell OEM wipers for Rolands for that reason.

Give us a call and we can help get you on the right track. We also have methods that you can use to save a lot of money on refurbishing your machine!
