  1. FC8000 63" push roller

    Our FC8000 63" model went down due to static shock, we had a 54" model as back up. Picked them both up used a few months ago. We quickly noticed that the 54" model wasn't cutting as well as the 63" model. The 54" would have rounded corners on some edges, but not others and not completing...
  2. Mimaki JV150-160 Ink reset

    I bought this printer new in April and as much as I'm impressed with the quality of the 8 color system and I'm disappointed with the ink consumption / usage of the printer to rasterlink. On three separate occasions I've had 30% or more of ink left and then it goes to zero before the job was...
  3. Onyx profile edit only CMYK

    Anyone know how to edit profiles in ONYX to make them only use CMYK head instead of CMYK and GeOrLcLm? I have a epson gs6000 with dual head. The GeOrLcLm head is in need of replacment, but the CMYK head is firing at 100%! I know there has to be a way to edit this. I haven't got a clue where to...
  4. Epson GS6000

    Run a test print / nozzle check and getting zero on the media. Ran cleanings and also manually soaked to head at an attempt to removed any clogged / dried ink in the heads. We have taken apart the front of the right maintenance station to gain access to the pumps to see if their was a clog and...
  5. Mimaki JV3 160-SP

    Does anyone know why I'm getting these darker lines on the print (see attached image)? The image is a gradient from a light blue to an off blue. A friend of mine was getting the same result on his value jet 1204. I thought it was his printer, but it did the same / similar when I ran it. The...
  6. JV3 self cleaning during print

    I've looked through the manuals twice and can't seem to find this setting. I'm pretty sure it can be adjusted. Where is the setting to adjust the frequency of self head cleaning? It may not be called self head cleaning, but when the print heads go to the capping station while printing and...
  7. Mimaki JV3-160s Error #11 - can't intialize

    I recently moved my office and once all was situated went to run a job and I can't get the printer to initialize!! Ran the machine the day before shutting down and moving the office / equipment. I did plug in the parallel port and the printer did run, but it was SLOW and the file that was...
  8. JV3-160-S - cyan head not printing

    I've noticed for awhile now with my printer that cyan head has had overspray. By lowering the head to thin and sending it out on normal speed instead of fast though ONYX I can keep this to a minimum. On banner however the thin setting isn't usable due to head strikes. Tonight while printing a...
  9. Y-axis JV3-160S

    Last week out of the blue started to get some grinding / rubbing noise as the print head went back and fourth. Talked with a tech from advantage sign supply and he said it's more than likely the y-axis belt pulley. He then went on to say it a good idea to replace the y-axis motor and the other...

  11. Mimaki JV3-160S cyan overspray

    Ive been reading multiple threads about this issue. I see static would be an issue, but like most wouldn't static effect more than just one color? I'm running triangle bulk ink and I've noticed that since the day I bought it there was the overspray issue. I bought it used 9 months ago and...
  12. JV3 Mimaki Bulk Black Ink Recycle

    I was curious about this. Can you use the waste ink as black ink? It's a mixture of all colors and so wouldn't it work? I run a bulk ink system on my machine. That waste ink container is about 2 liters which is $170 worth of ink. I know there could be possible contaminates in the...
  13. Jv3-160s - cyan not printing

    I picked up a Mimaki JV3-160s used about 8 weeks ago. Everything is printing well and I've run several jobs on it. The machine was set up with a Triangle bulk ink system. Yesterday when attempting to print a graphic with heavy blues I noticed it wasn't printing so well. So I did a cleaning /...
