Our VJ1604 stopped halfway through a 2metre print this afternoon. It came up with a sub tank low error. This happens frequently but normally you come in the morning and it is bleeping away not during a print! Also we are running bulk inks so when I started back up I changed the cards for a new...

We have a Valuejet 1604 and purchased this new in 2008. This machine has been unbelievably reliable and very easy to live with, and with a bulk ink system very cheap to print. We have maintained the machine well and about 14 months ago it had a new head fitted. This machine runs and prints as...

I have a client who would like a logo created for his roller disco (very 70s). On his requirements I created this based on his what he described (see attached). He has now come back to me he would rather like a face on the actual skate (has to be an old 4 wheeled skate not a blade). Now this is...

I have a chance to buy a lot of ink for my JV3-160s which will keep me going for a long time. The question is will it work in my printer? I have a bulk ink system ready for this so should not be a problem. The ink is made/sold by Inkmill and is called Bio solvent Ink. This was originally made...

I have a problem with my JV3-160s. After plugging my laptop which did not have a Texas Instrument firewire card it keeps throwing a Error 20 code. I believe I have fried the firewire card as I have been told they are really fussy. Question is can I run it of the parallel port using an Ethernet...

This has always been an issue but with the dawn of computers and the world wide web everyone thinks they have access to amazing artwork that is usable. In my 30 years in the sign making trade this issue has got worse and is a daily occurrence. I watched in amazement as my business partner has...

I have managed to acquire a little Apple PowerBook G4 laptop, YES I know it is old, but it has only been used for about 8 hours in total since it was bought new. This will sit on a little shelf attached to the right of my Mimaki JV3-160s (this is perfect as it has firewire built in and run a...

I need a little help. I have looked through all the available manuals and maintenance bulletins. And I cannot find anywhere that tells you how to route the head cables on my mimaki JV3-160S. Can someone please help as no matter where or how I route them it fells rather snug, even more so since...

If you could have a lookie and help me please? Thanks SC

Well as the week goes on more and more of the nozzles are working. So my continued cleaning is working. Now for my next question is about head alignment (as this machine has 3!)? When doing a test the print is very blurred, I guess this is a lot to do with the alignment of the heads. Is their a...

I am currently re-instating an old Mimaki JV3 in our workshop. I will be using my Laptop to get it up and printing again and require a RIP programme to run the JV3. Is their any free RIPs I can use just to get it doing some test prints from a computer? Cheers SC
