Hi, We have had an ongoing issue with our mimaki cjv150 for over the last 8 month which has now started to get worse. What happens is that it prints fine with no issues. When we turn off the machine and leave it in sleep mode and come to use it again it produces a nozzle check like this. After...

Hi We have a Roland LEC540 running CMYK plus Gloss and White however we do not use the gloss so it gets wasted in the waste tank. Does anyone have any info or guides on swapping the printer to CMYK plus White White as we use white a lot. I have done this process before on a mimaki however there...

Hi, We have a lec540 and when we turn the printer off after use it makes a clicking / buzzing noise. The noise seems to be coming from the power unit but I am unsure on if this is normal or not as we have only just purchased it. I can switch the switch or at the back and this stops the noise...

To cut a long story short our cjv150 was dripping ink onto the media last week. We replaced the dampers and capot and the problem was resolved. This week we now have cross contamination in the yellow channel. This is present as soon as we turn the machine on after it has been left overnight and...

Hi, Has anyone ever come across wonky lines on the dot position adjust. Recently our machine has started to print certain patterns with wonky lines (see attached image). It looks like some sort of calibration issue but I cannot understand why it would just start doing this. Any help would be...

Hi everyone, We have started to get an ink mist/overspray on our megenta/cyan channel on our cjv150. The machine is nearly 3 years old and is on the original head. It recently had a new pump and captop fitted as well as a wiper. It has not had any dampers yet at all. Upon inspection of the...

Hi. To cut a along story short we have refurbished a civ150 and adjusted the station height to 5mm as per the service Manual. The problem is though that when we adjust the cap position the slider should be 3mm per the service manual but ours has to be about 5-6mm before the head locking latch...

Hi, Is it normal for certain colours too look slightly grainy like this. Machine is 2 year old running cmyk x2 the engineer who installed it said it’s normal on certain colours. If we print a cmyk pattern the colours are solid with no banding. We run prints on 1440 with 16 pass any lower the...

I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice regarding the cap top adjustment. In the service manual it states the pin which runs up and down the track taking the cap top up and down should be 3mm to the centre from the highest point. On our machine if I adjust it to what is stated...

Hi, Recently we picked up a Mimaki CJV150 cheap as it had been sat unused for a few years. We are hoping to get it up and running without the need of a tech. I have a few questions which I would appreciate help on. The machine had been left on however the ink had expired and the cap top was...

Hi Everyone, Just recently our Mimaki CJV150 has not been capping properly. We noticed this last weekend as we had some missing nozzles when we arrived in the office Monday morning. At first I didn't think much of it and just did the usually procedure we do to get them back. None of them come...

Hi everyone. Is anyone able to give me an idea of what length the machine will accurately cut with the standard 4 crop marks. At what length would you advise on using intermediate crop marks? If we use 4 crop marks the accuracy is spot on however when we use intermediate it gradually gets worse...

Hi Everyone, I am new here and am looking for a bit of help with our Mimaki CJV150. I have found a lot of posts here very helpful. For some reason our 5 month old CJV150 is missing 1 black nozzle. Its strange as the machine has only been used by myself and has never had any head strikes. I have...
