We did one recently for $8K. I think you're going to see answers all over the board and some people telling you to figure it out yourself... I think we were low for our area (Hawaii) but lower than what most people are charging. At the time we had only done 5 or 6 trucks previously and it...

btw, I'm not associated with solvent ink jet at all but they are super helpful and I like buying from them...

Hi Tia, My name is Tai and people call me Tia all the time... What press do you have? You mentioned that the grommets came with the press and you have to apply a ton of pressure to grommet stuff. If you bought one of the starter lower end presses you might want to look at upgrading to a Hiker...

Hi, I'm guessing this isn't it as it's pretty obvious but have you had any nasty head strikes. We had this happen once where the retainer (for lack of better words) that runs around the edge of the head got kind of peeled back during a head strike and we then had ink leak out of the side...

you could try swapping the heads, if the first one is that bad the second one is probably clogged too. you could manually pull a ton of cleaner through the head. Might work like Jordan mentioned if you find a head under $2k just skip it if you need any boards i had the same printer and we...

I don’t think it’s even covered in the service manual but if you just start by taking off the top and then the left side cover and just taking piece by piece off until you can slide the cutter module off I don’t think it’s that bad. Sometimes the print head carriage is kind of spring loaded...

Hi, I've been through this before as well and unfortunately it seems like in the end it's probably a head replacement and yeah, sometimes they last forever and sometimes they don't. If you want to try it you can disconnect the ink line where it goes into the cartridge needle assembly and stick...

If no one replies back there should be a part number on the bearing. Since it’s the cutter bearing you might be able to disassemble the left side of the machine and slide off the cutting module to look at the bearing part number. Try not to remove the bearing from the rail unless the you have...

samedaytees.com is decent for dtg. We have a kornit and before we got ours working we sent them a few jobs and it worked ok. Tried their digital squeegee (the screen the white base and then dtg on top of it and those were pretty bad though). acetransco.com does sub transfers but you might...

Hi Paul, we do vests and jackets quite frequently with printed htv, solid htv and dye sub. We dtg some of the blended high vis shirts too

If you are mechanically inclined and really like fixing things you can look at used DTG printers but they it's going to be a frustrating experience and lower end dtg printers are VERY slow. Even $15+ Epson, Brother, etc brand new printers are going to be surprisingly slow. The heat press is to...

I also vote that you order from Jordan. Great pricing and support. I’ve bought a number of mimaki and Roland heads from him and always been very happy with everything. wishing I knew about the head memory trick earlier lol.

Hi, I've got a VJ628 set up for 8 color and VERY little use on it. It includes the take up roll, stand, everything and I'm looking for $2250+ shipping (paid around $5500 from Conde). It comes with a 50-75% full ink set. Shipping might be a couple hundred at least. I have the original...

Hi, One of our flooring clients needs some text and a logo inlaid in wood flooring panels they are laying. Does anyone know any companies that we could sub this out to? We're more of a print shop and don't have a laser or the fabrication knowledge to do this. Thank you in advance!

I had a 2017(I think) JV300 that we were running on the SB54 sublimation ink. Contantly had ink problems (chips not recognized and we'd loose our yellow channel all the time). Eventually replaced both heads and still ended up with the same issues just a short time later. We just replaced our...

Just wanted to chime in for anyone else doing a conversion. Our JV150 (solvent) started overspraying and after trying everything it looked like it needed a new head. Our JV300 (aka money pit) that is set up for sublimation and just keeps having issues had one good head and one blocked and I...

Hi, I've got a 54" JV33 that we're going to pull apart for parts. $50 (to cover the labor and boxing) plus shipping. I'm in Hawaii but usps priority shouldn't be bad.

Same problem here on 3 vp540s and an xc540. It never caused a lot of issues but it was always tough to print really small black text. Our nozzles would always deflect within just a month or so of a new head.

Hi, the ink system on that printer are pretty basic so it's an easy one to flush out if you need to. There's a pretty good chance that if the inks are already mixed and it's been working fine you could just leave it alone and add the correct new ink as you use up the old ink. Sometimes you...

As other's mentioned, if you can work on your own Roland's you'll probably be fine working on a Mimaki. I've been in the same situation as I'm on my own on servicing and went from VP540s (on my third one now) and XC540s and have slowly moved over to Mimaki. In my experience Roland maintenance...
