  1. Question CJV150 - can the pump be damaged by working without a printhead?

    Hello there! My CJV150 had its printhead damaged and removed until I get a new one, and also the inks. But I'd like to use the machine to cut and every time I turn it on, the pump and the refresh function work normally as if there was a printhead. I'm afraid the pump could be damaged too, since...
  2. Question Guess I was scammed - Where does the machine report data is stored?

    Hey there! I'd like to know where does the machine report data is stored (CJV150). I mean, all that information that is printed out from service menu, including Serial number, Use time, Wiping, Head ID, Shot count etc. I suspect I've been scammed. Long story short, I got ink in my printhead and...
  3. Epson L1440 Printhead for CJV150 - is it worth it?

    Hey there! I was suggested by a local dealer to replace my damaged DX7 printhead with this Epson L1440, because it's less expensive. My machine is CJV150. I wonder if it's worth it.

  4. Is it worth it replacing OEM ink with Bordeaux?

    Hey there! I own a Mimaki CJV150 with SS21 ink for 2 years now and I'm willing to replace this OEM SS21 with Bordeaux MS33 in order to stop losing money with ink.

  6. Discussion How long did your second/replaced printhead last?

    Hi there! After only 2 years of buying a brand new machine (CJV150), I'll need to replace the printhead, apparently, there's some internal damage that got 2 entire lines missing and no tech can solve this issue. For what I've been learning, 2 years of lifetime is too short for this part. And...

    I've pulled about 20 ml of ink from cyan cartridge and injected to complete the other cyan, with same expiry date. Then as I keep on printing, cyan ink was gradually disappearing and then, I did a test print and boom, no cyan visible! Tried the fill up ink option, but it popped error, low ink...

    Hello there! Please help me: I have a temporary issue and I need somehow to either: 1) stop the chip flagging ink end or 2) stop the software sending ink consumption info or 3) stop the machine sensors receiving ink consumption information (but keep printing) 4) or whatever idea you guys have...

    Hello there! I have a Mimaki CJV150 with DX7 printhead and I lost a whole line of magenta, don't know if I would be able to recover it, but anyways... I'm wondering if there may be a workaround to keep printing with some quality. For example, depending on the job, I'd adjust magenta density...

    Hello there! I've had a Mimaki CJV150 for about 20 months now and lately I'm having issues with the head nozzles, and it got worse in the last month (see attached test print please).
