  1. Will you rate my long overdue baseball card design?

    The Rockies could use all the help they can get!
  2. Finecut9/Rasterlink5 SG with a CJV30 not cutting

    There's 2 ways to do it. The easiest way is to create a spot color in Corel named, CutContour, and make your cut line that color. Then save as a PDF and open it directly in Rasterlink. It will pick up the cut line automatically. Other than that, when you click the, Send To Rasterlink, button in...
  3. JFX 500 blocked heads and lines

    I would suspect bad primary filters. A lot of people tend to wait until problems occur before replacing them instead of the routine replacement suggested by MImaki. They are supposed to be replaced once per year so if yours are older than that, I would definitely start there. And since you got...
  4. UCJV330 Specs, Price, Etc.

    Yes! Technically there is a "secret" service mode but it's the same as prior models. Mimaki hasn't gone down the "special tech login credentials" path yet.
  5. UCJV330 Specs, Price, Etc.

    So far so good. I have one customer who runs the heck out of it and he's loving it so far 1 year in. He put the XY slitter in the closet however. They make it an option now luckily.
  6. UCJV330 Specs, Price, Etc.

    We're a Mimaki dealer but even we don't get much info until we sell one. They don't give access to tech manuals etc. until we have one in the field. I'm wondering if maybe they're using the Epson I3200 heads like the CJV330. That model also uses the toilet paper wipers. User Manuals -...
  7. Looking for a Dye Sub Recommendation

    DTF is the hot thing right now. Most major manufacturers are coming out with a turnkey solution. Mimaki has the TXF150 and TXF300 models and Roland has BY-20. Although they all require a separate 3rd party shaker and heater.
  8. Not printing after ink expired

    I agree with Smoke. Your cap top might be on the older side and not seal as well as it should. The machine not cleaning for a while just exposed it. The head should recover fairly easy though.
  9. My new Roland UV needs 60 degrees? Will 50 suffice?

    That's the operating temperature. As long as you let the room warm up to 60 or more before printing, it should be fine. The main reason for the temperature requirement is proper ink viscosity so it fires from the head properly.
  10. PSA: Mimaki JV33 and CJV30 OEM parts are increasingly harder to get

    Parts like heads, dampers, cap tops, wipers etc. will be available for a long time but electrical boards, cables and other less common parts are already out of stock with Mimaki including main boards. I've run into many more "no longer available" emails from Mimaki this year. Just FYI.
  11. CJV150-130

    I know that's true on the CJV30 series but I'm fairly certain on the 150 ES3 was special because they even had a slightly different cartridge holder. I've been out of the field for a while though so if your experience is different I wouldn't doubt it. They change things up all the time!
  12. CJV150-130

    You're probably going to want to contact Mimaki directly and see if they can help. They keep every machine's factory parameters on file. The other issue is the firmware. The standard CJV150 doesn't support ES3 inks. Your machine has a special firmware that allows it to use ES3 inks, mostly...
  13. To hem or not to hem?

    You can always only hem the left and right sides as well. We used to do that at the shop I worked at on banners we thought might need a little more support for the grommet.
  14. Mimaki cjv150-160 New epl3 Board Upgrade - Error 203 ment commant

    Before uploading the parameters you need to initialize them according to which model you're using. I'm not sure which parameter number it is but it's labeled as , "INITIAL" in the system parameters. Change the value to 2, hit enter, and then end to save it. Then reboot in parameter upload mode...
  15. Issues with Illustrator PDF Scale Exports

    I believe it's in the compression tab.
  16. SP-300V Left Pinchroller Error

    This is a fairly common issue with the SP300 model. A lot of the time it ends up being the cut tool carriage trailing cable that needs to be replaced.
  17. Issues with Illustrator PDF Scale Exports

    That's bigger than the max canvas size for illustrator so it will have to be scaled at least somewhat. I would check your PDF settings when you go to save the file. Make sure the option to down sample images is turned off.
  18. How powerful computer?

    If you're just using it for the RIP and not designing on it: CPU - The one with the highest clock speed within your budget. Cores don't matter unless you expect to be ripping multiple jobs at once. Memory - 16GB or more Storage - SSD for the RIP work folder and OS. HDD for longer term storage...
  19. EPSON S50610 Pausing during printing

    I don't know Onyx very well but does it have an option to RIP the entire file before printing? The RIPs I use have that option specifically for large files that may not process fast enough to keep up with the printer.
