  1. Need Help JV33 misfire black channel

    Im getting a misfire on one of the black channels. When I print an image, it looks as if Im getting a color bleed, like when a damper gets a few drops of different ink in it. Upon further inspection of the color bar that is printed along the margin, I noticed a set of black dots printed directly...

    Last week I had an issue of some of one part of the black and part of the cyan went blocked and wasnt printing correctly.

  11. Printing Black with my 33

    Good Afternoon. I have a job that requires a black border and copy. When it prints (Wasatch is the RIP) the black is very rich and there is a build up which causes the ink to curl almost instantly. The print has a full black bleed, and I do not want to have vinyl failure. I have tried some...

  14. Strange shadows/black levels

    This is reeeally bugging me... Whenever I try to print photography - and it doesn't matter which media I'm using - something strange happens: Faces and skin tones are just fine. However - darker areas and especially deep shadows in, let's say, someone's dark suit, will be overly dark, like...
  15. Out of Black, whip a CMY=K batch??

    Sounds crazy!!! I am almost done with a print job and cannot get black ink in on time from vendor. The black ink requirement is very little but the cartridge needs to have some in it. Has anyone ever made a batch of black ink by combining a mix of CMY?? It makes black after all and it...
  16. Fading Blacks with Mimaki

    I have had trouble printing blacks on canvas with the Mimaki. Anyone else? When I print an image or a graphic with black, it never feels like a rich black it just looks like a dark grey. I don't know if its because the ink is absorbing into the fabric or the ink alone. Could it be my file...
  17. On 'Nozzle Test' print my RJ6100 is flooding paper with solid black

    Can anyone help? I've had my Mutoh RJ6100 since new, and it has not been particularly hard worked. My problem is with the printer, not the software. Even when trying to do a 'Nozzle Test' print with the pc turned off, it starts firing ink before the edge of the paper, and prints nothing but...
