Hello everyone, I am thinking about purchasing a Drytac JetMount JM63 laminator. It appears to be a very nice machine for the price. Does anyone have any experience with this unit? I have found very little info about it on the web.

We are replacing it with a Roland AJ-1000. We have never been fully happy with the JV3-250. Since we bought the thing about 3-4 years ago, it has had intermittent problems printing large full-coverage banner runs (8'x40', etc.) It will print fine for awhile, then all of a sudden start starving...

I have a JV3-250SP that we were about to put up for sale when it suddenly crashed. We had removed the heads for a good cleaning, and after we re-inserted them, the machine would no longer print. It will go through all the motions, but will just not put out any ink. We have tried changing out the...

I just got off the phone with a Triangle Ink tech. He said that the heads are most probably overheating and misfiring. He told me that the Epson heads are not supposed to operate in temps over 30 C, and are subject to misfiring and clogging when run at temps higher than that. He also said that...

I was already considering upgrading my very outdated RIP program (Photoprint DX v4.0,) but we were waiting to see if this printer could be fixed first. We are currently toying around with purchasing a new Roland and dumping the Mimaki. If that is the case, I do not want to buy a new RIP for...

No, unfortunately we do not. We actually use a bunch of different profiles that were either provided w/ Photoprint or downloaded. There is no set profile that we use for any one media. That usually works OK for us, but every once in awhile it will give us major headaches when trying to...

I know for sure that it is not the most recent firmware, but from what I understand, it is the most recent version that I can use with the bulk ink system that I have. When we converted the machine ages ago, we actually had to downgrade the firmware to accommodate the bulk ink. That is what I...

Over the course of 4 years, we have had two 99" wide JV3-250SP printers (one was a replacement,) and neither of them have ever run correctly despite numerous attempts at repair. I am starting to believe that the problem was in the actual design of the printer. Mimaki will not give me the names...

I think we are on Firmware version 1.4. (Function - Maintenance - Info - Version: Main & I/F show version 1.4.)

Yesterday we ran the new oversize hoses from the bulk ink tanks all the way to the print head. I ran 78" x 50' of solid purple-ish blue color overnight, and the cyan & magenta still drop out. It does not seem to be quite as bad as it used to be (maybe I just did not run enough length to make it...

Some of the work was done under warranty, but because the problem was intermittent (it only surfaced on very large jobs,) we had no way of determining if it had been fixed without wasting a ton of ink & media. Only recently have we been able to force it to show up using the Y motor test. I am...

1) The printer is level. The current filters on the machine are pretty new; we have changed filters many times so far and that has never fixed the problem. I am not quite sure what the head ranks are, but the heads have been changed and adjusted multiple times since this problem surfaced. I am...

The 60 degree blades work great. Thanks!

The refresh is already set to 3, so I do not think that is the problem.

I'm not quite sure what the "refresh" is. I have the printer set to wipe the heads about every 10 passes. My refresh option on the printer specifies "host," but I cannot find anywhere to adjust it in my software (PhotoPrint DX 4.0.)

Hi, I have a Mimaki CG-130FX. and I am trying to cut the FabTac painting stencil. I have the pressure set at 17, and it does not quite cut it enough for easy weeding. When I change the pressure to 18, it cuts all the way through the stencil & the backing. The blade that I am using is pretty new...

Hi, I have a JV3-250SP that typically runs on CMYKLcLm 360x540 6 pass, and I have a recurring problem with it when I need to print large full-coverage banners (around 6'x10' & above.) It will run fine for awhile, then slowly start to lose color and streak until one or more of the colors almost...
