I've been a tech for years now and haven't had to buy materials, inks, etc. Not sure who is best to buy from.
My second oldest son just graduated HS and wants to learn my trade. I was able to obtain a Mimaki JV3-75SP2 and CG-75ML cutter. We setup a PC and got everything connected. Now we...
Have you replaced your capping station? I would ensure the bottom of the head is clean and the cap is clean to ensure good contact/seal. A small air leak would partially clog the head until if pushes enough out to clean itself.
If it wasn't that, I would follow the advice above about...
I'm looking for information on how Signlab works. I emailed their tech support earlier today and hope they answer as well.
Can SignLab utilize a scratch disk?
Does Signlab run faster on it's own drive?
Any tips or tweaks floating around to optimize setup?
Thanks,
If it is just saying near end, don't worry about it or you don't have to worry about it. It will wait until the cartridge is almost empty and then hit the 'ink end' switch. It could be a faulty chip on the cartridge.
If your screens keep popping out you have a problem. Cleaning, alignment, etc. This is a very risky/expensive situation as it can easily scratch the bottom of the heads.
I'd be surprised if you could upgrade the f/w after that and it still work. I would expect the error to return as soon as you upgraded.

It could be many things. The JV5 feeds media so fast compared to JV3/33. It could be your roll isn't feeding straight. It could be that your material is sticking to the metal feed path (metal that gets hot when the heaters are on).
All Mimaki's can be set to C or F for heat. Either way...
I am in Cincinnati and do service up in your area. Your best bet is to pay someone who is willing to train you to do the repair yourself. First time is much safer and easier to be shown than to try and figure everything out yourself. Parts can be very expensive and easily damaged. This is...
Mimaki's keep track of cleanings and printing to estimate usage from full (display reads 9) down to approximately 10% left (display reads 1). From there, it is up to the tab that sticks out from the side of the cartridge to hit the lever for 'ink end'. Therefore you may see the machine show...
