Hi. I have an annoying problem with my CG-130FX when I send cut jobs to it from the computer. The first cut will go fine but if I take it out of REMOTE mode to cut the sheet or something then put it back in to REMOTE it will refuse to cut for some reason. It will receive the data but not...

Hi. I want to run my Mutoh Falcon II with one color per head so that I don't get any cross contamination. At the moment the ink order goes KMCYKMCY but I want it to go KKMMCCYY. I have seen this done on other machines so I know it's possible. I cannot find the option in any of the menus or...

Could I fit a main board from a JV3 SP or SPII model in a S model provided that the correct firmware and parameters are installed? They look almost identical other than the JV3 S mobo has 6 head data cables instead of 8.

Hi. First of all this isn't strictly Mimaki related but I couldn't really find an appropriate category. I am interested in obtaining technical datasheets on DX2 and DX4 print heads. I'd like to know more about how they work and what kind of data, signals, etc goes in to them just out of...

My Roland CJ-500 has been having a problem recently which is becoming increasingly annoying and costly. Every now and then it will dump all the ink out of the 3 cartridges connected to the right head in to the waste bottles. It does it slowly so it is hard to notice until the morning when the...

I have been working on a CJ-500 which has been converted to run solvent ink but I have now noticed that it no longer does it's automatic cleaning cycles. I remember that it used to clean it's self on a regular basis but I must have changed a setting somewhere. I have looked in every menu and all...

I am having trouble with the print quality of my Mimaki JV3-75SPII. The most serious problem is that it will print find on the standard quality setting but when I try to print in high quality the print comes out very blurry in places seemingly caused by cyan being offset by a few mm. I have...

I am working on a Mimaki JV3-160SP which had been working fine up until yesterday. In the middle of a print all nozzles stopped firing and no ink was coming out but the head carriage was still moving as normal and the printer was still doing it's usual stuff that it does during a print. No...

I have been having problems getting the colors to print correctly on my Mimaki JV3s for ages, I have managed to get them partially right with some bizarre settings but some colors just come one really wrong and it's starting to become a real problem. I am using FlexiSIGN-PRO 8.1 with the built...

Hi. I think that I may have requested this before but I really do need this. If anyone has the version 3.1 firmware for a Mimaki JV3-160SP could you please email it to me at spencerpoyle2000@gmail.com Many thanks in advance.

I am currently working on a Mimaki JV3-160SP which is having serious problems caused by something to do with the Y axis. It started with a Y axis error 41 problem so I changed the motor with a known working one which solved the problem for a short time, after which there was a burning smell...

I have just had to replace a couple of heads on my Mimaki JV3-75 but I have been unable to enter the correct head IDs which I think is causing some print quality issues. The manifolds on the heads have been changed as they were damaged and as the head ID stickers were on the manifold they have...

Hello. Does anyone know which chemical(s) flush contains? I'd rather be able to buy the generic chemicals rather than the expensive stuff from Digi Ink for example.

Hello all. I am currently trying to get a couple of Mimakis to work but they don't accept half of the cartridge chips that I have, I needs these printers up and running quickly but I am unable to source any new sets of ink chips locally. I would rather not have to resort to buying a whole set...
