  1. CJV150-130 printing on reflective

    Probably a silly question but is your reflective printable? Some reflective media is only designed for cutting and applying it needs to have a coating on it for successful digital printing - that's my understanding anyway. Otherwise the ink will not adhere and the results are worthless. Using...
  2. Need Help CJV150 have to set Print & Cut origin adjust every job

    No crop marks, just doing print and cut straight from Illustrator using a cut line colour swatch. Thanks.
  3. Need Help CJV150 have to set Print & Cut origin adjust every job

    No ideas anyone? :( I did a P&C origin adjust again today and I got values of 0 for X and -5 for Y. So it's the Y axis that's out every time I do a P&C job. Very frustrating as I have to calibrate every time even for very small cut jobs.
  4. Need Help CJV150 have to set Print & Cut origin adjust every job

    Hi all, Got a CJV150 we've had for about 3 months and every time I do a Print & Cut job the X origin seems to be out. Y doesn't seem to vary. I've run the P&C Origin Adjust several times and often have to re-run it after the next job I send cuts out of the print... I'm only setting the 720dpi...
  5. PhotoPrint Server Pro 6 and "Cannot connect to the Printer" error

    Hi all, Just got ourselves a used Seiko Instruments H-74S which I have up and running and connected to a RIP PC running PhotoPrint Server Pro 6.1v2 via USB. The PC seems to recognise the printer as I see it under Devices and printers OK - although it shows twice, once as a normal windows...
  6. Print head deflection - fixable?

    Thanks, sorry for the silly question but what's NMP? Cheers.
  7. Print head deflection - fixable?

    Hi all, I have inherited a UJV160 which I mainly use for Corflute signs and it does a reasonable job. Except when printing red and red mix colours. Then I get noticeable banding in the print image. I assume this is due to the red head given the test print looks like this: How would this...
  8. JV33 Head dropouts help!

    Well a new cap and pump fixed for a short while but still the issue persists, now only on the leftmost red head (looking from front of machine). So I've bitten the bullet and booked a tech to come out. Might as well get to the bottom of it and watch while he fixes it so I know for next time :)...
  9. Bulk/after market ink

    @VanderJ do you ship to Australia? Thanks.
  10. JV33 Head dropouts help!

    Thanks guys, I'm ordering some genuine dampers and top clips for them now. I'll try anything at this point in time! I replaced the cap and pump within the last 3 months but both are non-genuine so, again I'll order genuine and rule everything out. I've managed to get some jobs out around...
  11. JV33 Head dropouts help!

    Hi All, I'm hoping somebody can help me as I'm at my wit's end with this. More or less since we got the machine and replaced the printhead this issue happens intermittently - one or more of the colours (most often red) drops out suddenly - usually during a print and then no matter how many fill...
  12. UV LED Lamp Filters - or can you make your own?

    Hi all, I need to get another box of SPC-0575 filters for my UJV-160. I'm having trouble tracking down a price or much detail on them. Best I came up with was http://www.digiprint-supplies.com/ujv-160-uv-led-unit-filter-spc-0575.html from googling but 56 Euros for what was only a box of 20...
  13. Half Cut on Mimaki CG130FXII - need help!

    Thanks guys I'm getting a MUCH better result using a 45 degree blade and Speed/Pressure/Offset 20/200/30 now :thumb: One thing I noticed was my max pressure for the half cut is 80g so I'm running that with a 0.3mm half cut and 5mm cut - as I don't have any nice long edges. I'll keep having a...
  14. Half Cut on Mimaki CG130FXII - need help!

    Hi Guys, I've never had success with half cut - I usually end up giving up and just moving the cut line and doing a full cut through the material on the hard strip - less than ideal and ruins strips/blades, etc. BUt it drives me insane changing settings only to have the cutter totally destroy...
  15. UJV 160 error "Limit(1M)" on first K cartridge

    How interesting. Thanks for that, I actually swapped out the quite low (but not empty) cartridge thinking this was the problem. But got the same error so assumed it was something else. Now I guess I must have had 2 blacks with the same expiry date. Thanks for the info I will try a newer...
  16. UJV 160 error "Limit(1M)" on first K cartridge

    Hi all, Got a strange error/warning message on my UJV160 which is preventing me from being able to do head cleans, subtank fillups, etc. It doesn't however stop the machine from printing. I can find no reference to the error in the service manual despite it having an extensive list. Below is a...
  17. Head clogging or ink starvation on JV33

    Interestingly this morning it's the "other" magenta which is not printing. I've tried two x 2 min Nozzle washes and 3 Normal cleans to no avail. I'm now doing a fillup ink assuming it might be starvation? I'm wondering if a new set of refillable cartridges might help...
  18. Head clogging or ink starvation on JV33

    Hi all, Got a weird, intermittent issue with a JV33 which we recently purchased 2nd hand. Every now and then it will "drop" a complete colour or 2 from the head (DX5). It'll be printing along fine at great quality then you'll see the colour change completely as it usually stops printing the...
  19. InkControl LLC Rui Costa bulk ink systems - anyone using them?

    Hi all, We have recently purchased a Mimaki JV33 and looking at InkControl LLC's Ink Chip Emulator board. Do these things work and are they as easy to use as the marketing says? Interested in hearing your experience with them if anyone does or recommendations for alternatives that work as...
  20. Mimaki UJV160 T.NOT READY error code

    Thanks for the reply. In the end as it was skipping the boot sequence entirely and not even getting to the ready status we had to get a tech in to flash the firmware settings. That has fixed it. Cheers.
