Hello all! It has been a while since I have visited the site, nice to be back. I am working for a commercial sign company that has a Direct Color System printer. It is a raised lettering system for ADA signage that could be considered 3D. I am looking for fellow users of this machine, it is a...

Hello, I am new to 3d printer and have just got on with a printing company that has a Direct Color System UV 3D printer. I need some real help getting started. They have tutorials but they are more suited for someone that has already been trained. I have looked on Youtube but still nothing for a...

Hello, I am a former Flexi user that has returned but I need a refresher for a new job. Can anyone steer me to a free trail download so I can at least get a heads up? Thank you, WestbankKurt

Hello all, its been a while. I am looking for a tech in the Louisiana area for our JV3-160 SP. My last tech has fallen off the face of the earth and no one can find or contact him so I am reaching out to fellow Mimaki operators for help. Before anyone suggests REECE Sign Supply I have to state...

Ok so they want to print white on the CJV30-160. I tell them that it involves flushing the ink line and actually buying the white ink cartridge. I am trying to find this procedure in the manual but no luck. Can anyone help me? Artbot? Anyone? Hello? Is this mic on?

Ok so I keep getting this "error 46" wiper message. After some web searching I tried cleaning out ink deposits around the base of the wiper. I tried to clean the sensor. Has anyone had his problem? Did you replace the sensor? How difficult or easy is it to do? How much did the part cost? Any...

HELP! Just got this machine to recover from dried heads and cross contamination and now I have this going on. I am trying to keep working and read but I am reaching out to my fellow Mimakie operators for help. Any and all answers or suggestions would be welcomed, Im kinda stressed! Thanks

Last week I was getting "set cartridge" and I want to thank "VanderJ" and "Mike Pro" for their suggestions. Now my JV3 is working but not printing. When trying a test print the head moves like it should but nothing comes out. I am waiting for the tech but in the meantime can anyone give me...

Hello, After trying a head wash and thinking I did what the manual old me to do, I am now stuck with a "set cartridge" error message that cannot be resolved. I have tried powering down as one thread suggested but same thing. I am waiting for the tech to respond but in the meantime I am asking...

Ok now Im getting a "error code 50 media sense" on my Mimaki JV3-160. Ive consulted the manual and tried repositioning the media nine ways to sunday but no go. Does anyone out there have a solution or explanation? Thank you for any help!

Ok the lever that raises and lowers the rollers on our JV3-160 is stuck in the open position. The last few days its been a little sticky but didnt think much of it as it is the older of two machines and seen more usage. Today as I pushed it it suddenly tightened up and would not go in any...

We have this massive HP and I am wondering if there any Signs 101 people that have it as well. I would like to hear about your experiences and troubles with this machine. I am takingover for the person who was supposed to be the main operator. We are using Caldera Grand Rip. Thank you.

Good afternoon everyone. I am using ONYX 10 on a Mimaki CJV30-160. For the most part I have gotten used to ONYX and just lived with what was in place when I got here, I do not really like it all that much. What is confusing the living heck out of me is when I go to tile an image, ONYX changes...

Ok , got past the hurricane to come back to the Mimaki CJV30-160 showing a "exchange battery" message. Does anyone know how to acess this battery. Is it deep inside the machine so that only a tech knows where and how to change? The manual says contact service office and I can only guess how busy...

I am printing on Neschen Pure Color TM Apollo Flag material for a wind waiver flag. I was wondering if anyone out there has used it and what profile did you use? I am printing on a Mimaki CJV30-160. Thank you

Ok, I do not know what I did to make this happen but after a soaking to see if I could open up a few blocked lines I have what may be called ink contamination or perhaps there is a more acurate term. I know there is a simple fix but am at a loss at the moment. It is a JV3-160SP. I would greatly...

We just got a used HP XP 2700 that uses CALDERA ripping software. I am interested in anyones opinion and experiences using this as I have been using ONYX on our MIMAKIS and may eventually be using CALDERA on the MIMAKIS. Thank you

I am using a JV3-160SP and am getting thin blank/white lines in the print. I have checked media comp and that looks fine, I have done test prints and they are fine, all lines are present and none are crooked or broken. I have noticed that certain profiles lessen the effect but I lose bright...

My mimaki has stopped twice during a print this morning and I get this message "(x OVER current:AVE.) Press<ENT>". Does anyone have any idea what this means? I consulted the manual and it suggested unplugging and trying again and then calling the tech. I have sent the tech an email so now I am...
