Post a test print please? Also a print of solid Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black in low quality and high quality. SC

If you cannot revive missing nozzles you will be always fighting a loosing battle. It is amazing how a couple of blocked/failed nozzles can make a low pass print look bad. If the head is 4 years or older, replace head and head cable. SC

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...

This is a hard one, as some times it just makes it so much easier to get the client in and design it in front of them. Then at least you are not just wasting your time , you are wasting theirs also. But even this can go badly wrong! Many years ago when working for another sign company I was...

folvacny Their was a further explanation of why you couldn't/wouldn't get the firmware from Mimaki earlier, but it has been edited from the post. Why? Just register with Mimaki and they will give you what you want if they have it. Personally I think the main thing updated firmware gives you...

I'm not running cheap equipment. All I can say the Mutoh SC1400D (my machine) is not up to cutting Convex laminated. It destroyed the Y axis pulley and belt. Comparing it to the Roland GX-300 which has 350 grams of pressure and the Mutoh SC1400D with 450 grams. The Mutoh should be the better...

I got into MX graphics and quickly jumped out. I lost serious money on companies selling me " material that was made for the job" and wasn't! Only two materials I would use for MX /Dirtbike Graphics and that is either Convex or Substance, but either way you look materials are very very...

This is a very expensive business to get into with low returns for your effort. Materials are expensive and a machine to print and then a heavy duty plotter to cut them is a serious cost. Also on a material note, Convex or Substance are the ONLY ones to use as failures using other materials are...

We have an old heat press (can't remember make) from the 70s which I was given for free. It has outlasted 2 other new machines which were just not up to the job. The old ones were built to last and way over engineered as it takes two people to move! Even the more expensive machines cannot touch...

I can only say one thing about manufactures firmware updates. 20% (or maybe a lot less) are for to update printing issues. The other 80% is to stop us using third party parts and inks in the machine. It seems that the manufacturers are not very forthcoming when you ask them what their new...

That's just like a customer we have had on the phone this afternoon. Ranting that "we have printed all his business cards, stationery, signs and vehicles with the wrong phone number"!!!! Strange though isn't it that he supplied all his details on a word document and we have just copied them and...

I will be running this machine as in four colour only so in reality the only time the heads will fire is for cleaning and testing purposes. SC

I have a JV3-160S, 3 head 6 colour printer which I will be running CMYK only. I notice you can install cleaning cartridges in two of the slots on the JV3-160SP 4 head 8 colour machines making it CMYKlClM and 2 cleaning cartridges. Thus keeping the right hand head clean. Can I do this on my 3...

Yes that's the part I need. Anyone got it? Thanks SC

Hi I am looking for the complete Head Height assembly for my JV3-160S as this is missing from my machine. This should have the plastic lever, a pin and a bracket. I don't know if they are different on the S or SP but they look mighty similar. Post to the UK? Many thanks SC

Cheers Chaps SC

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

The machine is a JV3-160S. I am not near the printer at present so no pictures at the moment. I have had them through my ultrasonic cleaner once and I am leaving them soaking in cleaning solution every night in the machine. During the last couple of days I will say that on test printing in the...

You are not going to be able to show potential customers of what it will look like in metallic unless you physically print a sample. Or maybe print some example prints in your shop, as printing samples of customers work can waste a lot of productive time on your machine. 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...
