  1. Mimaki UCJV300-160 patchy printing

    Has anyone found this actual cause and solution for this issue? UCJV300-160 going on 2yrs old, now it doesn't want to print solid color without fade bands. Updated firmware, adjusted feed comp, adjusted droplets, air purge, vacuum set to strong. Did I miss anything? Humidity controlled print...
  2. CutMaster 4 ip issues

    I keep having issues with CM4 losing connection to my Graphtec FC9000. It is set to static IP and all that is correct. The problem is; it will randomly drop the IP connection in CM4, but the computer can still ping the plotter. If I change the connection in CM4 it can establish connection once...
  3. UV ink and vehicle wraps

    I've had very long discussions with both my dealer and 3M. Everyone has been very nice and quite helpful in trying to diagnose my problem. What it has come down to, is that I am an isolated case, so my blip on radar is less than a pea in hailstorm. My honest desire is to get rid of the...
  4. UV ink and vehicle wraps

    This is what my failure tends to look like.
  5. UV ink and vehicle wraps

    I have been using the 3M profiles for RasterLink6.
  6. UV ink and vehicle wraps

    I have a Mimaki UCJV300-160 with LUS-200 inks. This machine was purchased prior to my arrival and was chosen for the ability to go direct from print to lamination to install while having a large color gamut. The problem we have encountered is the material becomes extremely brittle and tears like...
  7. First time buyer for Large Format Printer

    DO NOT get Mimaki UCJV300-160 with dual CMYK LUS-200 for vehicle wraps! I have had nothing but nightmares with vinyl prints from this machine. The ink and vinyl tear like paper. I have used every possible combination of 3M materials and consistently have vinyl failures. The material tears like...
  8. Where can I buy an original Big Squeegee brand laminator tool?

    Do you still have the 26" ? I am looking for one of these as well.
  9. Mimaki JFX200 LUS120 ink set

    I'm curious if anyone is using the new LUS120 ink set. I've had it installed on my JFX200 since January and it's been a learning curve for color profiling. Anyone else go from LUS150 to LUS120? Note that this was a machine replacement and not a flush and switch.
  10. Mimaki JFX200 error code

    CMG- does this error code occur after system has been idle, like returning to shop from the weekend, and the machine is in the system halt? I have been having this issue since my new machine was delivered in January. I send a photo text to my service vendor and they have not given me a specific...
  11. JFX200-2513 clear ink issues

    I have done extended nozzle wash (power machine off and let it set for up to a couple of hours). To push the "not by the book" methods further, I was even instructed by a tech who was on site with me and at the suggestion of Japan, to physically wipe the print head with a moistened lint free...
  12. JFX200-2513 clear ink issues

    I know the joy of ruptured line clean up! We purchased ours in Nov. 2014 and have had to replace the color head once and like I said clear has been replaced 6+ times. As for cleanings to recover nozzles, cleaning heads is very much within my daily maintenance routine. On occasion I have...
  13. Onyx vs Flexi

    I currently use both Flexi & Onyx 12. They both have their strong points and definite weaknesses. If you are doing mostly banners and limited print/cut I prefer Onyx. Onyx does have a cut server which is ok, but not stable for Onyx 12 (I currently have to copy my cut files from 12 to Onyx 11...
  14. JFX200-2513 clear ink issues

    I was wondering how many people are using clear ink in their JFX200. We have had repeated issues keeping nozzles in our clear head. The best we have done is 90 days before we drop more nozzles than can be mapped. We have had over 6 heads replaced in our machine and it is only 2 years old. I...
