How do I confirm that the cap is sealing properly? I replaced it a month ago or so. I just replaced the hose that came with the cap to no avail. I pulled ink through the damper and it seemed to refill. I'm at a loss at this point. I'm back to having basically no nozzles again. No ryhme or...

Have they already been compromised? These dampers have been removed 3-4 times now.

So I was able to get some nozzles back. I noticed the orange line from the damper looks much more transparent compared to the line from the solenoid. About 6 inches back from the damper is transparent. I removed the dampers again and noticed some weren't even filled all the way. What are...

Yesterday I did a bunch of cleanings, ink fills, and removed the dampers in hopes of agitating something to get my printhead back, but it did the opposite. Now I have nothing. When I push on the dampers ink will drip out, so I can assume from the cartridges to the dampers is OK?

Thank you. I will reach out to them. I'm willing to try anything. My Mimaki rep says I should be able to recover the printhead.

It's able to fill and drain the cap with fluid. How do I confirm the cap is sealing properly? It was just replaced with an OEM one. Are you talking about injecting fluid by removing the dampers and pushing fluid through the head? I was told this will immediately damage these printheads.

After having some issues with color accuracy and being busy with work, I let my printer sit powered off for sometime because I had to move it from one room to another (it was powered down for maybe a month). So, now my issue is only having some magenta nozzles print. This is a 8 color...

I had a lot of issues with Mimaki Techs working on this thing and I believe that is part of the issue. There was loose hardware all over the place after assembly. I've learned my lesson on letting other people work on my stuff. Thanks for the input though!

So, I have had my Mimaki CJV150-130 for about 3 years now and I have had nothing but issues with it. It is never the same issue twice either, its always something new. It is my first printer so I still consider myself a rookie. I have taught myself everything except for the LIMITED amount I...

I recently purchased STS SS21 ink cartridges and once they were installed I was getting the wrong ink IC message. I was able to reinstall the original Mimaki ink cartridges and the print read them as it should. So, to me it does not seem to be a printer issue. I have tried a hard reset by...

I'm still a rookie. No one has taught me how to do this stuff. I am solely relying on my own research, and trial and error. I have not come across this issue before, so I am learning.

Thank you for the help. I will try a head soak as well. Otherwise, I am going to continue printing with it and see what happens.

The first photo with half of the "City" logo is an old print, which is what I think is correct. (Laminated) The second photo with the "Prism" logo is what I am getting now. (Not laminated) I printed several times with different profiles - also with color matching on and off, and I think its...

The print is consistent. I have the printer in my house which is usually around 65*-75*F throughout the seasons. I have tried a few different profiles to no avail. Any profile that you would recommend? I am using Substance X1 media. I had been using a Mimaki profile since purchasing the...

I forgot to mention the yellow color I am looking for is turning out more of a green than yellow.

Hi, I have a Mimaki CJV150-130 8 Color CMYKLmLcLkO. I am attempting to reprint a file, and the colors are just a little off. My test print looks fine. I have tried to make a new file and move the design over to that (this seems to rectify any issues potentially being caused by Illustrator)...

I have a Mimaki CJV150 with an 8 color set up. The main reason I went with that set up is because I mostly print Motocross graphics and I wanted to be able to hit the bright orange of the KTMs. I was a rookie when I bought my printer and it sounds like I got duped. I've talked to my Mimaki...

Hey, I have a CJV150 and I mostly make dirt bike graphics. I started making graphics in 2019 so I'm still a bit of a newb, but I cannot get this thing to cut at a consistent depth. I was cutting some kits the other day and I had cut about 5-6 sheets and it was cutting pretty consistent, threw...

I'm running an 8 color set up with C,M,Y,K,Lc,Lm,Lk,Or. I did a nozzle soak for one hour to no avail. The printer kept saying my orange ink cartridge was expired. So I installed a new ink cartridge for both orange and light black, but still to no avail. I'm still pretty new to this. I bought...
