  1. Need Help JFX 200 Loud Head Movement

    We have a JFX200-2513. Recently the movement of the head started to get very loud. It seems like the head is having trouble or added resistance moving. I am thinking that the slide units on the linear rails are starting to go bad. I see that they have grease zerks on them, but they have a...
  2. Need Help JFX200 White Ink Alignment Issues

    I replaced both heads in our JFX200-2513 printer. I have replaced several heads in the past with no issues. After replacing the heads, I filled up the heads and sub tanks. I did an air purge. I went through and did all of the print adjust alignments, 300, 600, 1200. BI, SI, RE. I checked the...
  3. Need Help Mimaki JFX200 printing the blues.

    Hey all was wondering if anyone else had this problem before, Our JFX200 suddenly started printing with a lot more cyan showing in the final prints seemingly out of no where. the quality of the print seemed fine as all the lines where nice and sharp just everything looked as if a blue filter...
  4. Question Nazdar replacement ink for JFX200.

    Got an add a while back for Nazdar's 706 series ink that is supposed to be a direct replacement for the Lus 120 Mimaki brand ink. the specs on it seemed okay and the price was eye catching to say the least. Just wondered if anyone has had any experience with it and how durable it is, how close...
  5. Mimaki JFX200 Head Height / Bed Leveling Issue

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a little guidance here. We got a JFX200 a few months ago, and ever since we haven't been able to get consistent prints on the bed. When we do a head height check across the bed, it's all over the place. I've had multiple techs in from the distributor we purchased it...
  6. Need Help JFX200-2513 Starvation of Both Heads? No Errors

    I've searched for similar issues with this printer on Signs101 and have turned up nothing. Double CMYK configuration. After a clean test draw, we begin printing and after several passes on a photo-realistic print (only just a few passes on a solid color such as C or M or Y or K), nozzles start...
  7. Effects of defective head?

    I recently installed a new Ricoh Gen 5 into my mimaki JFX200. It is the exact model number as the head removed from the machine. Symptoms: When printing with the new head the print is smeared out in the feed direction of the print by about 100%. For example when I print a rectangle, the edges...
  8. Question Mimaki JFX200 3rd Party Chips

    Our LUS 150 inks are becoming increasingly difficult to locate with acceptable expiration dates on the chips. We assume this is partially because of the supply chain disruption resulting from COVID and also that the LUS120 series if half the cost. We are considering migrating to a CMYKPPWW...
  9. Question JFX 200, problems with adhesion, formula changed for LH-100 CL

    We observed a change in adhesion in the last two month regarding extruded acrylics. We used to print 1% of LH-100 Clear Ink under our LUS-150 Color Inks as a primer and had really good results. After complaining for quite a time now one of the technicians told us that Mimaki changed something in...
  10. Question Mimaki LUS-150 Ink Adhesion Issues On Corrugated Plastic

    Anyone else having problems with this inkset printing on corrugated plastic? We have a Mimaki JFX-200 2513 with LUS-150 inks and the ink is flaking off in large sections within a matter of weeks. The machine is roughly 1 year old and we started noticing this problem shortly after initial set...
  11. Mimaki JFX-200 LH-100 Ink cracking

    I own a Mimaki JFX-200 running LH-100 ink CMYK PR CL W. Printing exterior acrylic and pre coat white aluminum faces. Has anyone had the problem of this ink cracking with or without primer? The Distributor of this printer said that printing on these substrates with this ink set using primer or...
  12. Mimaki JFX200 LUS120 ink set

    I'm curious if anyone is using the new LUS120 ink set. I've had it installed on my JFX200 since January and it's been a learning curve for color profiling. Anyone else go from LUS150 to LUS120? Note that this was a machine replacement and not a flush and switch.
