$1700 is a really good deal on an OEM print head. They are normally $2400. Also, the CJV30 had print to cut workflow issues in earlier firmware versions. If you want to save your self a hassle, I would go OEM on that head. Plus the OEM head normally has a 90 day warranty from Mimaki. Is the old...

I would replace the PF sensor and disc just to be safe. I have seen discs that look perfectly clean but still have issues. Does the printer make a thumping noise when you feed the material through? If it does it is most likely the disc.

Are you using OEM/3rd party ink cartridges or a bulk system? I would take the top middle cover off as well as the ink cartridge cover to check the lines for air. The lines should have solid color. You can easily see air if it is in the system. If there is air, that's your problem.

You need to install the Mimaki USB Driver. Click the link to download it if you need to. After the USB driver is installed open the printer manager and you should be able to choose the JV33 series and you will see your printer recognized in the selection field.

+1 On checking that the pump is not clogged. Also take a syringe and hook it up to the tube that goes to the Cyan cap before the pump. If you pull a lot of air, the cap is not sealing properly. If you pull and the syringe wants to be sucked back but no ink comes out then the head or capping...

Take a look at your nozzle check to make sure your black isn't deflecting. It would have to be pretty bad to cause that overspray you are getting. Most likely you have a fairly bad electrical problem going on. Do a cable swap to determine if it is the head that is causing issues or something...

Are you receiving any error messages on the printer or Flexi? My best guess is that your thermistor (reads the heater temperature) is not reading properly or the heater is shot. When the head moves to the left, does the printer screen still read "Warming Up?"

+1 On profile settings and design techniques. This can also be a print head issue. Sometimes when a head is going bad it will fail to print the variable dots and just print the largest one. I would do a 100% to 0% fade for each of the 4 colors. That way you can see if it is only happening in a...

I'm not too experienced with using FineCut in Corel. I was talking with one of the techs at Mimaki yesterday and he said that when you upgrade to FineCut you may need to upgrade your Firmware on the machine as well. He said there were a couple glitches that they worked out with the new firmware...

It looks like you only have 4 cartridges in. You need 8 to do a fill up. If you have 8 cartridges in, 4 of them are not being read properly.

Although it is tempting to run print directly to magnetic, I never recommend that my customers do it. If you get a head strike on vinyl you can do a cleaning and unclog any nozzles that may have been affected. If you head strike on magnet, you have much more of a chance of damaging the $2000...

I have set up Flexi on Parallel and I had a lot of issues getting it installed. After it was installed it worked fairly well with a few glitches here and there. Flexi does not generally support the software when it is installed this way. They will try to help you a little if you call tech...

There is a way to trick the machine into thinking it is already filled up and you can then manually fill it up. I can't remember off the top of my head but you have to change one of the parameters. Call Mimaki support. They might be willing to let you know how.

Also you need all 8 cartridges to perform the initial ink fill up. You can print with just 4 but the initial fill up requires all 8 cartridges.

For some reason the machine is not recognizing some of your cartridges. Try getting new chips and replacing the ones that aren't being read.

Yes. If the limit is set correctly the head should lock and the cutter should pull away.
