Hi, not sure if you fixed your issue with the laminator but I had the same problem and found the sensor wasn't faulty but out of linement. I ended up disconnecting the right-hand sensor (the one below the control panel) cut the cable at the modular plug and added 4m of cable onto it. Moved the...

Hi, I bought some "genuine" mimaki ink pumps today instead of the cheaper generic type. I kinda half expected to find these pumps stamped or labeled with a mimaki logo but nothing. I remember reading somewhere genuine pumps don't make the clacky noise as the cheaper ones, is this so? Both...

Starting having this problem about 2 weeks now.. Started with banding and has developed into bad streaking. This is more noticeable with black areas, it will start printing black on the first pass and magenta on the second pass but the magenta is not consistently being layed down on some...

Having an intermittent problem where the heads will seal for a few days and then won't seal, is this excessive wear on the bearings likely to cause this sort of problem? Does it give you tolerance play values in any of the manuals for this wear? Is there any sort of alignment marks for the...

Quick Question for the jv3 owners... Does the complete head lift up and down freely, like in a rocking motion I am able to lift my printhead assembly and rock it up and down about 10mm or so. Printer tech suggests to me theres a bearing worn or something but i am thinking they all have this...

Hi, we sent the mainboard off to kent at macmedia and he tested and repaired a faulty mainboard. it would appear that a head 07 error caused this, kent was saying the head was on its way out and when i powered the printer off to go home, during the night she must have powered up to prime the...

Hi artbot, have a problem with my 160s. got a 07 error on LC head one night and next morning printer won't power up. Power button lights up solid green and LCD may flick on once then out again. Theres a flashing red led on the I02 PCB board which i think was solid green before this happened. A...

A friend did a little bit of testing on the printer today and found the the power supply unit is receiving 240v in but not outputting anything to the mainboard. We are nearly sure the PSU is fine but seems like theres a external safety switch stopping power being applied to the mainboard. The...

Hey, Been printing using the firewire port but its pot luck at times and have decided to us the lpt port as more reliable. Problem is the printer will do about 3 head passes and stop at capping station every time. This has a serious damper on the production. Any ideas why it would be doing...

hey artbot, Had a problem a few days ago were the ink was syphoning into the waste bucket. Think i lost a full 440ml cyan and half of magenta. Would the caps being too high and pressing on the heads create a syphoning effect like this.

Hi, Can any body advise me on the correct procedure for setting the cap height/alignment for the jv3160s. Or a way of checking to confirm it is either too high or too low. Cheers.
