  1. Cjv150 head strike

    Had a head strike today. Now I’m missing a good bunch of the black nozzles. I’ve done a few soaks and cleans not much improvement. Decided to manually pull ink through with a syringe but I’m not getting any resistance. The tubes look fine but I must have an air leak somewhere as I’m only pulling...
  2. CJV150-160 Contour cut problem

    I'm having an issue where my contour cuts are not accurate. I'm using flexi19, I add a contour cut line, rip and print with mimaki type 1 registration marks. The printer prints fine, reads the registration marks without issue and begins a cut. But the accuracy of that cut seems to get worse as...
  3. Error 651 Replace NCU

    New to me printer. Was reading a bit about auto nozzle recovery. Went to turn that option on and immediately got an error 651. Replace nozzle check unit. Are there any causes that trigger this error other than the NCU? Only fix is to replace? Where exactly is it located and how much are these...
  4. Flexi19 Filling White text to Black

    I have an issue with Flexi19. Every time I open a previously designed file from photoshop or illustrator, any text that was created with a white fill is turned black in Flexi.

  5. Liquid Laminate on Trailer Wrap

    Good Day everyone. Wondering if anyone has had success using liquid laminate for flat trailer wraps. My main business is billboard advertising so all my printing is not laminated. I recently had an inquiry from a friend of mine about wrapping both sides of his 14 foot trailer with some of his...
  6. CJV 150-160 CAP Adjustment

    My cap seems to park itself more on the left of the print head and isn't really sitting in the centre of the head. I went into the adjust capping menu and go to move it over to the right more but it just moves the entire carriage over with it, ultimately making the cap sit in the same position...
  7. CJV150-160 Possible Damper problem?

    So I have a CJV150-160 I just bought used. The dampers were changed back in 2017. I am having an issue with missing nozzles on test prints only immediately after cleaning cycles. If I do a test print first thing in the morning after the printer has been sitting I get almost a perfect test print...
  8. Print Quality Question

    I've got a question about print quality. I'm new to printing as I've been outsourcing all my work up until now. I printed a billboard tonight on my cjv150 and have some horizontal lines showing. I ran media compensation and drop position adjustments. I used a 720x1080 6 pass? (I think) CMYK...

    Well my new to me CJV150 is here. I tried to do my first print but am having trouble communicating with my computer. Im running Flexi19 with a MacBook Pro running windows.

  11. Changing CJV150 from SS21 TO ES3

    Just wondering if anyone has the steps involved in changing a CJV150-160 currently running SS21 ink to ES3 Ink. I have already flushed the machine but assume its not as easy as just putting in ES3 carts? Are there parameters that need to be changed?
