  1. The Ultimate Guide to Fixing Banding!

    Okay guys, I'm having alot of trouble out of banding later and I thought it would be great for anyone that has any information to contribute to one thread. I know this is a major problem out there especially with less experienced people like myself. I'm not looking for temporary fix's but rather...
  2. Undetected registration mark on the Mimaki GC75FX??? How to correct???

    Sometimes over large prints, we have a problem where the print or cutter drifts to one side a tad. To fix it we have to take a black pen (sharpies and dry erase markers dont work on the laminated material, we have to use black ink) to make the registration marks a little longer on each side. The...
  3. What is a refresh rate and what does it mean?

    I do believe that the refresh rate is when your printer pause's mid-print, goes to the capping station, sucks some ink through the lines to re-fill the dampers and keep suction in your ink lines. I think we have all of our's set on 3. It doesnt do it on smaller prints but does it a couple times...
  4. JV-3 (WIPER ERROR) Issue

    try cleaning the rails that the wiper slides on with cleaning solution, also try cleaning off the belt that moves the wiper forward and back. This has happened to me before, basicly something is getting gunked up and keeping the wiper from cleaning the heads during the print, the only cause i...
  5. Flatbed UV printers ??

    I think we may soon be on the market for a new flatbed UV printer, I was wondering if any of you guys had one and could let me know what you think about it. How is the maintenence on it compared to a jv3 or 33, how are the print speeds, etc ?? I am loving the idea of printing directly to...
  6. JV33 with Rasterlink Not ripping correctly?

    there seems to be no overlap at all. granted we have to nip the edge off the print when we cut it down, but we add bleed room around the edges for that, and i'v checked and made sure he didnt cut off an inch and an 1/8th of each panel haha. Just a random occurance I suppose, life happens...
  7. JV33 with Rasterlink Not ripping correctly?

    I am mid-wrap at the moment, wrapping a 98 inch tall by 250 in long box truck, and for some VERY odd reason, the second side didnt come out with the inch overlap between panels that I ripped it with. I double checked my ripped file after the wrapper told me there was no overlap, and sure enough...
  8. Mega Bio Mg Ink for JV33

    as far as color goes tho, it looked pretty much the same as the ss2 right up untill it started starving for ink hahaha.
  9. Mega Bio Mg Ink for JV33

    we tried it on our JV3, and i dont know if it was just a coincidence or if it is linked but not long after words we started getting severe ink starvation, from the magenta cartridge we used. we switched it out back to our normal ss2 and the ink starvation stayed, waiting on a replacment damper...
  10. Eye censors in CG-130FX is broken, need a new one!

    The other day our mimaki cg-130fx wouldnt work out of no where. I would close the lever and it would act like it was still open, never asking me to either press roll or leaf. After taking apart the side panel we found out the eye censor that sits on either side of the lever letting the machine...
  11. Plotter Problems

    Can you give me some more info on the steps you went threw to create and cut the letters?
  12. JV33 - Heat Problem?

    i dont know about on jv4's, but on our jv 3's and 33's there are two little screws on the front of the carriage, if you tighten them up it raise's the head higher off the paper. you get better quality from having carriage set to thin, but you also run a higher risk of head strikes and messing up...
  13. Mimaki Is Banding, Bad Test Cleans

    I'v heard that in extreme circumstances you can use one of those ink line priming syringes filled with some cleaning solution to push cleaning solution threw the head. I'v never tried it, I'd be carefull about it because I'd think too much pressure could probably hurt your head if you pushed too...
