Flush the lines and see how they look before replacing the head. As long as ink hasn't completely solidified, should be ok.

I tend to order through Digiprint in Ft. Worth for most stuff due to low prices (especially compared to Mimaki). Just make sure the item shows in stock, or you can be a few weeks if they have to import. https://us.digiprint-supplies.com/

A full complement of head parts tends to be as follows for reviving something that's sitting a while: Head Capping Station Dampers Waste ink pump Flush/cleaner carts

Using a dinosaur Summa S-120T I got for $1200 and love the thing. Blades are a bit expensive on the tangential but had really good luck with the Clean Cut ones. The tangential is great for accuracy on tiny cuts and it also cuts through thicker UV inks well.

Mimaki support on third party RIPs is pretty limited, but if you can set one up in Onyx at draft DPI of 300X450 DPI 6-Pass, about the highest speed you can get. If running dual CMYK, you can, in theory get 7.6 full bed prints done in an hour. Half that if using white, clear or light colors as...

Is it a JFX200 (old 2 head) or JFX200 EX (3 head newer model)? Not sure about Onyx, but just the basic RasterLink profile at draft speed will knock out a bed in around 7-8 minutes on the EX. 12-ish for the older JFX200 base model. If you're looking for something to tear through coroplast in...

Stock profile should cover you there, also, 4-year-old thread and posting your email address in public means the bots are going to love spamming your email.

If you got a new UJF-3042FX, I am impressed, those things are pretty old. Great printers, but when they were new, far before my time.

Meet the i3200-U1 HD, the 8 channel version of the UV i3200. Also aqueous and solvent versions of these heads in 8 channel.

Might be a MAPS setting issue or the head is using incorrect firing data. Seen this happen when someone bought a cheap replacement head and used the parameter chip from the old head to save a few bucks.

The 330 series uses the weird i3200 head assemblies that Mimaki wants $5k for, but it uses 2 of them.

Check your media compensation and bidirectional settings?

I see it on eBay, just not a super common head. Price is great compared to other listings but tends to be a slow sale.

Only a $2200 head for those, and not used on a lot of printers. Lots of sublimation printers are using i3200 heads now for newer machines with aqueous/sublimation inks. Short of DIYers, most people want ones with some kind of DOA warranty, or they just get heads through their techs/OEMs...

Working on it.

I am based out of OKC, tends to be a pretty quick job. Best bet tends to be Digiprint heads, definitely get the one with the chip (chip has nozzle parameters programmed into it, specific to that head). Also good to change dampers and capping station if not changed already. Can either offer...

UV printing is a really broad thing. Looking for small objects, big objects, textured prints, braille, etc? Wanting to do the prints yourself and looking for a machine, or looking to outsource?

Might need to recalibrate the throttle valve, also a chance an air fitting got loosened up.

If you get the prime shipped ones that are fulfilled by amazon, slightly better chance. But yeah, cheap for a reason.

Not familiar with any vendors in Nairobi unfortunately, but they do list 2 dealers there on their website. https://mimaki.com/distributors/ However, might be worthwhile asking for aftermarket ink, as it tends to be a much better deal.
