Thanks for this! I was looking for my old CMYK color-chart I used to use years ago and couldn't find it anywhere, so glad to see that it turned up in the top part of your chart! This looks like something you might have stolen from one Douglas Quagliaroli methinks!

I have a customer and long-time friend who is looking at purchasing a new 104" wide printer. He has been a Mimaki user for over 10 years and was very keen on the JV34-260, however he recently received some pricing on the HP Latex 280 which has him rethinking. I'm very familiar with the HP 310...

Ibiza huh? You pay my plane ticket and I'll throw a head, my dancing shoes and swimsuit in my tool box and be right there! In all serious though, what are the models of the sublimation and solvent printers? Can better advise you if I know that.

I've seen this many times and based on the troubleshooting you did (swapping cables and slider position) I'd unfortunately have to say that it's the Head. Check us out online for DX4 Heads in genuine Roland packaging at very competetive prices.

Encoder problem? Capping Station or Pump replacement will not fix ink drop-out problems; Theses parts serve pretty much one purpose - to pull ink into the print heads. Once that is taken care of, their job is done and they are not used at all while a job is printing. Looking at some of your...

Yup, you've definitely ruptured something inside the head. I would strongly advise against powering the printer on with this head installed as it's quite likely that the cleaning fluid has leaked onto the circuitry as well. May not help you as you're in the UK but we have genuine heads (with...

As the title states we are looking for Mimaki JV33 printers that we can refurbish for sublimation use. It's OK if the printer has clogged lines or blown head as we replace all ink system parts during refurb. Machines that will no longer power on or shoot sparks and fireballs are OK too! Please...

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Here are the steps I'd suggest: 1. Put machine into Service Mode (Boot machine holding the FUNCTION & REMOTE keys) 2. Go to #TEST => INK CARTRIDGE => CARTRIDGE VALVE 3. Hit FUNCTION to open all valves 4. Carefully remove the yellow damper from the Head, invert...

Hey there, I have a customer who needs a significant quantity of the now discontinued Ai3 Inks to finish up a large job. Does anyone have any of these left over after switching to the new Ai4 inks? I'd like to buy them if you do, and it may not even matter if they're past expiration. Thanks...

Hi all, I have a customer who is asking for help sourcing a Bulk Ink System for an AJ-1000, but unfortunately this is a machine that I know little about. I've talked to my usual Bulk System vendors but they do not have a solution for this machine. It appears that this machine does not use the...

Dropping all colors at once is almost certainly an Encoder problem - there's really no ink system or head data issue that could account for them all disappearing at the same time. Check the cable from the Encoder Sensor and see it there's any damage to the wiring. We sell sensors for this...

Not the best picture but the arrow indicates the area where I suggest adding a small o-ring or e-clip. This needs to sit between the arrowed area and the Link. The idea here is that when the Solenoid actuates the link it will pull the plunger a little further open than before. That said, your...

Vander is on the right track by suggesting the ink system. I believe that your problem lies in the Cartridge Valves. As JV33s age the valves don't always allow full flow of ink when opened. I bet this is what's happening with the yellows and when you do a cleaning the restriction is causing...

You might be able to get away without replacing the Memory Board. Boot the printer directly into the System Parameters (END and ENTER while powering on) and look for a parameter that says HEADMEM=1. Change the 1 to 0 and the printer should ignore the Head Memory Board.

The special code is not all that special; simply power the machine on while holding the FUNCTION and REMOTE keys - this will turn on the service menus. That said, there is no special "Ink Pull" option in the service menus so I'm not sure what your tech was referring to. What you need to do is...

My guess is that you've had some kind of leak or electrical short in the head and this is locking up the main board. If you're up for doing a little trouble shooting, with the power off, disconnect the cables from the mainboard from where they attach to the slider board. Take precautions to...

Your Cappung adjustments are probably out of wack and the Capping Station os not pulling away from the Heads after pumping and thus you've set up a siphon. Go to #ADJUST => CAPPING ADJUST and check the ABSORB POSITION. There should be a gap between the caps and head (like 1-2mm). If there's no...

You'd be out of luck as far as the JV33 goes I'm afraid... They evidently already stopped production of those (or at least import into the US). Grimco bought the last 15 or 20 and they sold out within a week or so!

It's unlikely that the head would have dried out in only four days, especially with the precautions you took so before you do anything drastic I'd suggest focusing on poor capping or an air leak between damper and head. You said that when you pulled on the Cap line with a syringe "you got...

First step is to go into the windows device manager and make sure that the ports for the Mimaki are showing up in there - you should see two: Printer Port and Status Port. If windows is not seeing the Ports then there is no way Onyx will. If the ports are not seen then go to the Add/Remove...
