Hello, We are having trouble finding someone that can repair stepper boards and hoped maybe someone from here could point us in the right direction. Thank you!

Got it We fixed the problem. It wasn't reading the chips from our bulk ink system so we reset the clock by removing the battery from the main board. If you attempt this be sure to backup your parameters and type settings because you might lose them. Our machine parameters stayed in tact but we...

I've tried removing the cartridges but it doesn't change anything. It's like it isn't even recognizing the cartridges are there. I've even tried disconnecting one of the ribbons that runs from the slider board to the head, and again it doesn't even register.

Hello! We're having an issue with our Mimaki JV3-130 PSII. When we boot it up, the display gives us a readout of CARTRIDGKKMMCCYY. It won't let me set it to REMOTE, nor will it allow me to do anything involving printing (cleaning, testing), prompting me with an error 30 every time I try. Has...

Hello, thank you for taking a minute to read this. I have a Mimaki JV3-130 SP II, and I'm having a strange issue. For some reason my blacks are not printing very well. I've gone into test mode on the printer and tried printing each head color individually and they print fine, but when I print...

Hello, We recently replaced a yellow head, everything went well, but when we went to do a print test we were having dropout issues on black. After a bit of testing and replacing of the dampers on black, we were able to print again. Unfortunately after printing for a minute or two the color...

Great suggestions. I've managed to get us limping along at 50", haven't had a chance to really try these out but as soon as we catch a break it'll be my first move. I'll report back with the results!! Thanks!

That sounds outside of my technical range, but my Googlefu tells me this is a Mac process, which we don't run (we're all PC). Im curious though, do you think it could be something coming from our PC?

For sure.. there are a lot of variables to consider. I'll be trying some new things throughout the day and if I fix it or figure something out I'll report back. Really appreciate all the feedback from everyone, thanks guys.

It is 52" and some change, I can squeeze a 52.5" on there if I needed to. The printer polls the media size before it does anything so I'm not sure I could tell it to go bigger then it detects.

I considered that, but both strips, old and new would error out at the same spot.

I did, which is where things get wacky. I ran an encoder test and it attempts to read 1680.3mm. With our last encoder strip it failed constantly around 1500mm, regardless of how well we cleaned it or how much air we blew onto the lens. So, we replaced the strip with a generic strip, I used the...

So I ran a print justified to the far left per your suggestion. The print was 48" wide. It printed fine. Then I made a file with two boxes, one at 1" x 48" and another after it at 1" x 52". It printed the 48" rectangle fine, but as soon as it got to the 52" rectangle it juked out. Top bar is the...

Hello. I'm having an issue with a Mimaki JV3-130 SPII. It's similar to what happens when an encoder strip is bad, except we've replaced the encoder strip and the problem still persists. Basically, any time we send a print that is 52" in size, the image begins stepping like mad to the right and...

Does anyone know of a good company to order plastic business cards from? I've used Morningprint in the past, but was looking for another provider with more variety/options and possibly a better price point. Any direction would be appreciated!

You nailed it, thank you very much!

Hello, my first post here, thank you for taking a second to read over this. The problem I'm having appears to be with bi-directional calibration, but every time I correct each head and run a new calibration print test things start to go off. Even stranger is that it only starts happening on...

New to forums, love the site, I've found a lot of insightful information here that, even if it didn't directly address my problem, gave me a good starting point to explore and tinker to a solution. Currently experiencing a new problem that I thought best if asked personally. Thanks for having...
