  3. how to do a head wash on a mimakie 3042hg?

    on the video, it turns out to be the int. wiping setting. I had got it set to one so it was wiping the nozzle after every pass. does anyone know what the recommended setting is for that? I tried the clear coat and it was banding so now have to figure that out.

    I really appreciate that detailed response. I'm going to save this for future reference and hope that I can get to the point of your daily and weekly routine.

  6. how to do a head wash on a mimakie 3042hg?

    I don't think it is set up right in terms of sensing height of the substrate. I cut down a piece of cardboard maybe about 6x8 and put on the table and it doesn't sense that. it just pushes the cardboard right off the table when moving forward to print. ugh. when they installed it, they did a...

    I've never used the fill up option. I did try the white maintenance and after taking them out it wanted me to enter a weight? I think I just accepted what it suggested which seems like 501. I've only had this 3 weeks and am still leery of pushing any buttons I don't know what do ! and the...

    I have a new 3042hg that is three weeks old. I print phone covers and have done maybe 1000 (so in the scheme of things, I haven't printed very much square footage).

  12. Mimaki 3042 hg - Rest a Switch

    that is what happened here except the screen locked up on that reset a switch and no other button except the power button would work so no way to clear. finally found a 6042 manual online that mentioned the front cover (which I normally do not use). put that on and THEN the screen went to the...
