I'm not sure of how similar this is to the way that mimaki sets up their large format printers but I'm guessing that they our fairly close. Our JV150 did the same thing one week out of warranty (of course) and after trying everything it ended up being the main board. We figured it was the home...

I've got the same machine and we actually prefer the Bordeaux over oem ink. Performance wise we can't tell the difference and the Bordeaux fumes are much much less harsh than the ss21 OEM cartridges. I think we see a slight magenta shift when using Bordeaux but otherwise it's great. We buy...

Hi, We've been doing window wraps for a dental group and they are asking us if there any vinyls (probably over laminates in this case) that reflect heat at all. We've been using solvent printed cast vinyl with cast matte lam. I haven't heard of anything in this category but figured I'd ask to...

Hi, does anyone know how to print with one head only on a JV300? We're printing out of Rasterlink. Head two has clogs that we can't flush no matter what we do but head one is just fine. I swear that I've seen the option but can't figure out if it was in Rasterlink or something we toggled in...

Hi Everyone, I've got a mystery JV300 issue and this is actually the second time that this happened. Our JV300 is running the 2L sublimation bags and using Mimaki ink. About a year ago (1 month after the warranty expired of course) the yellow ink ran dry in both heads due to a incorrectly...

If the printer looks like a Mutoh VJ-1618 it's probably just a rebranded Mutoh which is really common. I'd use the Mutoh head. I don't think the Mutoh heads are locked like some other printers but it's safer just to go that route and not that much more. I'd think you can get it for around...

If you did it you'd have to build in some bleed and then you'd be printing onto the aluminum platen under the print area and probably getting ink all over the place, onto the hold downs and possibly into the vacuum holes and definitely onto the backing paper so it wouldn't be worth it. The...

Hi, if you're interested I have a 3-4 month old VJ 628 which is the small format (24" wide) equivalent of the 900. It's set up as an 8 color sawgrass right now but can also be converted to 4 color for more speed. It's a great little printer and we use it for small format goods and such but...

We just took apart an xc540 for parts. I need to check but pretty sure I have that board. $25 and it's yours but I need to check on Monday if it's there at our shop member: 80259"]So I blew a transistor and a fuse and I think I found the source. The black dot you see in the photo is actually...

We have a jv300 running 2liter sublimation ink (4liters per color) and we use aftermarket chips as a problem solver all the time. When we first got it we bought two back up cartridges for each color meaning that 4L per color on the printer and 4L sitting of a shelf we had 8L per color to burn...

Just did a dual head swap on our JV300 sublimation machine. The old dampers had rubber plugs in the two forward ports on the top of the damper. I pulled the plugs out of the old dampers and am trying to put it into the new ones but can't seem to get them in. Does anyone have any tips? The...

99% sure it's this one below but thk isn't really set up to sell to individuals. We ordered from linear industries which was a distributor but again I didn't really feel like they were set up to sell a single bearing block. 5 years ago we paid around $50 each and I bought two in case it ever...

This is a really old thread but thank you for the post on this. We are refurbishing an old VP540 as a print and cut back up machine and couldn't figure out how to get around the 0111 error when trying to read cut marks. I think it had been unplugged so long that all the values in the crop-cut...

Hi, we're noticing that our JV150 prints 1/4" or so short over longer prints and although this is right at the edge of their accuracy spec we're wondering if there is a feed calibration to help correct this. I can't find a reference to this anywhere (besides a general adjustment for banding)...

I'm looking at your test print and it isn't as bad as you think. -in service mode our machines have at times also printed the combined test pattern, no idea why but maybe it's based on what firmware version you're on. I wouldn't worry about your test print not matching what's in the manual at...

I'm sure you can. You'll just need to figure out what rip to and how to get the proper ink profiles. The conversion will be pretty easy. We've done it on a few mimakis and mutohs and you just flush the ink with solvent flush then with sublimation flush and then fill with sublimation ink. I'm...

I took the heads out and slid the carriage off the left end of the linear rail. I think there are some preloaded spring attachments on the back of the carriage which were tricky to deal with but it's all doable. I don't think any of that is it the service manual. I might have an extra bearing...

Hi, sending all of our boards to mcbirdman. looks like some other people posted that they have old boards as well so hoping they can help out. If anyone needs Mutoh rj-900 parts I have a ton as well

Hi, I'll check on the board in the morning. Pretty sure I have one.

I might have have a spare used main board I'd sell for $120 shipped. I've got a vp540 that we stripped down to parts before tossing the heavy portions and the main board was fine, it just had some head issues.
