Yep, using finecut is the way to go. You can add more copies in fine cut, so your not cutting too many decals per reg marks.

I tried the cleaning solution through the head and magenta came out. It's not plugged up, which is good I guess. So far I've done: New capping station New ribbon cables Ran cleaning solution through the head So now I'm more confused than usual :) and the Grimco tech has not returned my email...

Well that's the next step Grimco wants me to pursue. They want me to take a syringe of cleaning solution and push it through the head. Sounds a bit scary. Bummer thing is and I probably should have known this, even with a 2 year warranty Grimco charges for travel time and labor. :covereyes:

lol..I got the same email this AM.

I'm starting to think you might be right.

Follow up Changed out the ribbon cable and no change. BTW what a pain, you need mini fingers to get those things plugged in :) Don't know whats next. Hopefully Grimco will send someone out to fix this thing.

It appears to be perfectly level.

Amen to that..still have another year on the warranty.

Yep tried that..no worky

Swapped out dampers and still have the same missing channel. Next try will be ribbon cables when they get here.

Thanks for the responses guys. Question, never messed with dampers before. Do they just pop straight up out of the head manifold? and should I be ready for ink spillage or does the damper retain the ink already in it when removed from the manifold?

All the dampers are about a 1/4 full or less. no bulk Pulled through syringe, had a good suction to it. Ran test draw and nothing changed. No magenta..hmm

Those ribbon cables do look a little sketchy.

Nope, first time I took the cover off was to change out the cap.

There should be a block of Magenta to the far left.

That's what's strange I didn't even get a hint it was going out. No dirty or clogged nozzles, just gone.

Sorry forgot that pertinent info..CVJ30 Here's a test print.

After all this talk of how good my Mimaki is :covereyes: I've been delt a blow. My entire left side magenta just disappeared. Machine is still under warranty and Grimco sent me a new cap head assy. After waiting three days it arrived and with the new one in, no change. I've done two 99 min...

I got my Dell XPS8300 i7 with 12GB ram at Costco and it works really well and ran me less that $1,000. Big rips still take a little time, but nothing compared to my previous tower of crap.

I run two 6ft usb cables. I did try a 15ft cable and it did not work out too well. Ended up moving the printer closer to my work station.
