Parts required:- Maintenance station, Dampers, Print Head, Head Cable, Couple of litres of cleaning fluid and a new set of cartridges. I would check the state of the maintenance station you will be able to judge the state of the machine on how well it has been maintained. If the machine has...

Damp and humid conditions cause this. We had to move premises because of the damp conditions. Also the conditions the suppliers and delivery companies store do not help. SC

Their is 8 dampers in total as their are 2 lines of CMYK. Make sure that head cable is genuine Mutoh as I have heard some of the aftermarket ones are not as good quality. SC

I reckon because of the age I would be changing the head cable and maybe the dampers. The dampers are probably the cause of your issues but due to the cable being contaminated and the age I would be changing it. SC

Can you show some of the test print complete showing CMYK as I can't see the complete set I can only see black and a little of the cyan? It looks to me as if their is some out in the cyan as well am I correct? Me personally if it was my machine and based on my experience I would at least change...

If I remember the cyan and yellow are on the same head. If so I can only see this as a cross contamination or a head beginning to fail. I would replace the cap and check the pump is running correctly. If this still persists I would suspect a head is going bad. SC

What's the test print like? Show us your test print. Is the capping station pulling ink properly? Is the wiper clean and moving properly? How are you cleaning the head, are you soaking it or just using the machines cleaning facility? How old is the head, head cable and maintenance station? I...

On our VJ1604 the encoder assembly is on the left hand side (looking at the machine from the front). The disk is about 9" clear very thin with a sensor on top of it. I expected this to be the same on the 1204. I cannot find service manual on this machine, maybe make a call out on here as I am...

Is that the encoder disk? If it is it looks nothing like the encoder disk on our VJ 1604! I know the sensor is the same. I cannot find a reference or a picture for what they look like on the VJ 1204. Do you have a maintenance manual for your machine as this will help. What happens is the disk...

That's an encoder disk problem. If you roll the material out using the buttons you probably will hear it jumping a little. I don't know if it is similar to our 1604 but every now and then the disc distorts especially in warmer weather and touches the sensor. On the 1604 their was an update and...

I know the fix to this. Please pm me on Tuesday and I can show you how to add the line into the plot file that will make your plotter read the marks. We have had this issue with wasatch 6.2 since it was installed. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does instead of reading the marks it...

Their are no head fuses on the JV3-160S Their are head resistors on the slider board that can blow. Also the transistors on the main board can burn out. I have a JV3-160S sitting idle due to a similar problem! Wish I had spares like you!! I would register on the yahoo groups MimakiJV3Printers as...

Why when scrolling through the site pages does it keep going back to page 1. Surely someone else has noticed this? Seriously annoying. SC

I'm not up to speed on the XJ540. But it runs DX4 heads. Also your test print is probably about as good as it gets for a 2 year old machine and very near perfect. I think the adjustment of the machine will be the issue. Maybe even a contaminated encoder strip or wheel. SC

Our last work unit was a similar size and very similar layout. But we soon outgrew it. Even in our new unit which has a 20'x5' bench at the back and can fit 2 XLWB Mercedes Sprinters side by side with space for 2 cars either side it still isn't big enough! I did as you have done in both our...

I have used digiprint (in belgium) for parts for my VJ1604 and JV3-160s and they are great. Ordered a maintenance station on Monday morning and it was delivered at 10am the following day! They are in Belgium I am in the UK!!! SC

I would try another file. We had an issue a while back that our networks wireless network started to give the printer address to the mobile network. Knock the wireless off! Does it do a nozzle test print? If not you have a bigger problem! But I would check your network. Turn everything off...

My machine is a 1604 and the maintenance station comes complete with wiper assembly etc. Their is no visible way to adjust the placement and level of the station. I am beginning to think something is out of line. I can't hear any leaks when pulling ink with a syringe, but it is so noisy here it...

So no one has had this issue after replacing a station?!!! The nozzles that go out, come and go and are now just on the black channel and are at the nozzles furthest in. Would changing the wiper for another help? When it cleans it pulls ink through no problem and seems to be working fine. SC

Yes I agree the nozzles are not helping your issues. But I reckon you have an issue with the encoder disk because it is not constant and looks like it reappears in the same area. Our Valuejet does this from time to time and it is because the disk is warped and the sensor is touching the disk...
