The machine was in place before I came to the company. It's one of those things where it was always done one way because nobody knew there were other options. I had a Mimaki-certified tech suggest it to me as an alternative to Mimaki branded cleaning solution. Quite frankly, I'm a little...

I'm doing a 9-1 butylcellulosive acetate/cyclohexan solution. I actually have a good pair of solvent-resistant gloves. I just didn't know if I needed to go all out with a splash apron and mask or anything like that.

I need some input from those of you who do this. I've ordered what I need to mix up a homebrew rather than paying through the nose for the tiny bottles of cleaning solution and I have a few questions: 1. What kind of precautions/protective gear do I need? 2. What sort of container to you...

If you're not careful you run the risk of pinching the end too tight, though. ... Or so I've been told. Anyway, got the slider board and other assorted parts in this morning, swapped everything out, and my machine fired right up. At the moment it's running like a champ. I was afraid of...

+1 for the clamp idea. I checked with our service manager and he had a box of these. No shop should be without 'em. They work great for clamping the lines and I'm hopeful that I can stumble through this until I get my parts in. PS: All of y'all rock. Thanks so much for the help!

Tried that already, still had a drain out. I'll probably go back and try a different clamp if I can round one up. The one I'm using might not be tight enough.

UPDATE: from maybe this isn't so bad to yeah, this is much worse After some playing around and back-and-forth with my tech on the phone, we targeted the slider board as the likely culprit, so I have a new slider board and ribbon cables coming tomorrow. In the meantime, the pumps can't cycle...

Okay, I've stopped hyperventilating for the moment. I pulled the ribbons at the print heads and it fired back up, so I know the main board is safe. About to try pinpointing the ribbons, but so far things are promising. Thanks for the responses.

Have been doing diagnostics for some print issues on my JV3-160. Went to do a data swap this AM. Totally spaced out and forgot the #1 thing you probably should never forget to do: power down first. I pull my K and M ribbons and the first one I plug in I get sparks. Crap. That's a heck of a way...

I just tried downloading the file and got a message that it no longer exists on the server. Can someone please upload it again? Thanks!

Okay, got a new one. When I'm printing a long run (JV3-160SP if it matters) in 8-pass bidirectional mode, everything starts out okay, but partway through the run I get a partial dropout of my magenta so that the resultant prints are greenish and have pass lines through them. When I change up and...

I looked back a few pages to see if I could find a thread with a similar issue and didn't see one, so if this has already been addressed someplace please direct me there! A few weeks ago I had a black cartridge run low and I got the standard warning message. I had several partials left over...
