What have you tried so far besides the print heads? We are working with a technician about this currently. Im going to try the material on the Mimaki we have just for shits and giggles. It seems to happen in alot of my lighter pastel colors. Ill let you know if we find something but right now...

Colorstripe and gutters are always on. The issue does not even show up on the color stripe.

Hi Everyone, We have a Oki Colorpainter M64s and are trying some new materials out on it. We had someone come in a custom profile our machine for 3M SV480mc material. We have a client that prints alot of medium and light grays. We are getting a ton of splotching and what looks like pink and...

Hello everyone, We are considering a few printers for purchase, and just searching for some opinions from those who may currently own the machines. Right now we have a Mimaki JV33-160 and it just cannot keep up with the workload we have the past year. It runs 7 days a week, day and night. We...

Hello everyone! We had to replace some dampers on our 1 Cyan ink channel ( the other was fine) due to color dropout ( this is what we suspected was wrong because everything else was perfect) and the dampers are not filling up properly, even after repeated Ink Fill Ups. Is there a way to prime...

As far as I know, I dont think its a warped board issue. They have printed on the material before but it was a few months ago. They had just replaced their new lamps recently---- im just thinking maybe the level was set higher before they replaced it and now that the lamps are new its too much...

Partners of ours are having issues with their Mimaki JFX-200 UV flatbed printer. Some materials look fine but our beaded board prints do not. Also have issues with some yellow bands across the prints. I dont have a picture of the yellow bands but I do have pictures of the beaded board issues. We...

What rip program do you print out of? I use Onyx and I know sometimes if you bump the magnification on an image it will skew the size of the print. Try opening your file fresh and send again. It shouldn't be shrinking 1/2" on a foot of material. You can try your media comp though if the image...

We have a JV33-160 that is less than a year old. It is set up as a 6 color machine. We are having an issue in the last 2 weeks with banding in our blues and teals. Normally just reds are the issue but now our darker colors are as well. I have attached photos of the problem, albeit they aren't...

Hello Everyone, We have a mimaki JV33-160. Can anyone suggest a good window vinyl to use on the outdoor side of a glass window- ( anything you cannot see through) compatible with solvent ink? Right now we run Avery mpi 2923, which is marked as you can use it for window vinyl medium term, but we...

The humidity varies between 30% in winter and today after the rain it was about 55% this morning. Temps stay around 65-75 and varies. What do you guys use for heater settings for adhesive backed vinyl? I used the stock setting and reduced it some because it seemed screaming hot to me.

Hello- I have tried this, and it is already set to "ALL HOST" any other suggestions? I tried using Rastorlink and it will print on something other than 720x720, but now im having erradic banding and splotching issues. Very strange. I know it has to be something simple.....

Hello all, We have a 2 week old Mimaki JV33-160 and are having some issues regarding profiles and onyx 10.1 for this machine. I downloaded a ton of profiles via onyx download manager for this specific machine and I keep getting #11 param errors ( and odd size prints) on profiles that are not...

Hello, We got a brand new mimaki jv33-160 installed yesterday, and noticed on 90% of the profiles we downloaded for it, it gives a #11 parameter error before printing. The prints are coming out "stretched". I sent a 3.5" block of color and it is printing more like 5"x5". I tried several...

So our shop is looking to get rid of one of our printers, and purchase either a new Mimaki Jv33 or the Roland Oljet XF-640 eco sol printer. We have a JV3-160sp and it is a workhorse--- its is getting old and im not a fan of the solvent smell. But, alas, not my decision ultimately just trying to...

I like the machine, but the colors never matches day to day. I have to change the printheads out pretty often. I have to tweak manually my print files to match previous prints. Our room is fairly consistent, but definitely not perfect....and hard to maintain due to the amount of heat it throws...

I have the same problem with our HP 26500 with regards to the colors matching to a print that was previously printed. We do alot of repeat jobs and this is a pain in the butt! We go through printheads like crazy because I notice our reds turning pink. We need to get a second machine, but it wont...

My printer is the room next door, I have a little plexi peek window to keep an eye on it while Im at my desk so that works famously. But honestly, after smelling solvent printers for years, this thing smells awesome. Its smells a but like hot plastic but its nothing awful. I would imagine its...

Hello- I actually tried this this morning via media manager upon reading this on an onyx forum. It gives the same error as doing it from the RIP Que "Cannot initialize color library". Any suggestions?

Wow Doug! Ours has had a handfull of issues. Color issues being one of them, but we dont use an eye one. We used to have two Mimaki Jv3's with no color issues other than from the normal stuff. Just seems like the more bells and whistles the more of a pain they are. I am going to email HP and...
