Hi there, I just wanted to check if you had any success with an EPSON p400 or similar printhead into any solvent machine like a Mimaki JV33 etc? I can’t seem to find any more r1900 printheads so I need another option and the p400 printheads are the only ones I can get my hands on but I’m...

Hello, Hopefully someone can help me with this issue, before I go replacing the motherboard and potentially blowing a new motherboard. Bought a second hand JV33-160 2009 model, running firmware 5.3 Tried to boot up, and got an error 09 "FPGA ERROR". I have went through all the normal...

Hello all, has anyone had any personal experience with downgrading a new mimaki jv33 (2011 Chinese made model) using the new mainboard E106578. I have a 2009 Japan model with the original mainboard E105997 and have successfully downgraded this to firmware 2.2 i am scared of bricking the...

Hello all, just found out that it's the slightly different head voltage from dye sub inkset to solvent inkset that causes this problem. does anyone know how to change the head voltage firing rate? thanks

Hello all, Because of the help from this forum I was able to unlock/access the aqueous ink selection and now have my mimaki jv33 running in 8 colour under the ES3 Inkset, although I am running 8 dye sub inks through the printer. Unfortunately I have hit another problem now, obviously because...

Hi guys, thanks for the replies. yes, it's an actual solvent jv33 i have seen the aqueous models of the jv33 without the heaters etc, but this model isn't one of them. also it's running firmware 5.2 so the es3 should be available. thanks

Hello, Just a quick post to try and save me the ridiculous tech call out fee for something that users should be able to select. I have a JV33 that apparently has been set up and locked as a dye sub aqueous setup. When I try to change to ES3 Inkset this option isn't available. Can anyone help...

Hello, I am having problems with one of my JV33-160's and before I update the firmware I want to be 100% sure that my printer is either the normal JV33 Model or the JV33 BS model. is there any way to determine this 100%? as apparently the BS Model uses different firmware? the reason why I am...

Hello All, Just thought I would post this up. My genuine Mimaki printhead died the other day. I was reading lots of posts about downgrading to firmware 2.2 then running cheaper DX5 printheads. So before I bought a genuine head, I though I might give this a try. The results are weird...

Hey guys, Wondering if you could help in this matter. I have a 87" Rockhopper 2K Plus (also called Toucan LT) which prints fine in uni-directional, however I can not get it going in bi-directional. I have attached pics of the alignment chart, which NORMALLY (according to the manual) should...

Hello, Newbie, from Australia. Recently I travelled to Shanghai APPEX expo (very large show I might add) and saw a "no odor" ink - Labeled "super j-star ink range". Is anyone currently using this ink in any epson dx4/dx5 printhead based machine? If so, any feedback on color, runability...

Hello All, I am a newbie to this forum, so hopefully someone can help me... I am willing to take photos etc, if this helps... Cut a long story short, I powered up my machine, and during bootup, just after initialization (like 5 seconds after pressing power button) I get a beep... and on screen...
