Hi everyone,
I’m encountering an issue with a DX5 printhead, and I hope someone here can help.
I’m a service technician and have personally replaced over 100 printheads, so I’m familiar with the process. In this case, I’ve ensured that the new head ID was properly entered each time.
I...
Hello, I hope you are well.
I am writing this post because I have been having issues with my JV33-160 DX5 head for a few days now.
This machine had been sitting unused for about 8 years and we decided to repair it in July. We changed the head, the entire capping station, dampers, ink lines...
I have a jv33 160 been running great for four years. Suddenly last week both yellows went out completely mid print. I changed the cap and got everything working again. Then within a few days I lost both yellows again mid print…and now one side of the magenta. I will list what I’ve done so far...
Hello all! Was just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to repair print heads? We have a print head (M007947) with a broken wall between one of the black and yellow channels. We've replaced it and I'm a little reluctant to just throw it away if a company somewhere in the world can repair...
There are used Epson printers available locally that use the DX5 printhead. Can these existing printer printheads be used in a Miamki JV33 printer, or has the firmware been altered to block this option?
New printheads are available from SolventInkJet, which I believe to be a reputable company...
I need a printhead for a Mimaki JV33-130. Prices online range from $765.00 to a bit over $2,000, which is a huge difference. Most sites list the printheads for $2,000 +(-).
Is there a difference between the mid seven hundred dollar heads, and those that sell for two grand?
Here's the link to...

I understand this update is not available thru the firmware updater anymore? I'm at version 5.0 on my JV33-130.
I've just refurbished the machine myself and want to upgrade to 5.7 to gain access to the MAPS function to reduce the banding. Anyone have any luck finding the firmware from any techs?
Hi!
Since today we get this error after printing the nozzle-check:
"mtr.alm y:cnt.over"
This appears after printing the check, bevor the printhead returns in his house. The printhead does not return, he remains above the printet testpattern. Then we have to reinitialise the plotter.
Any...
Hello. Nice to meet you everyone.
I am using JV33-160A made by MIMAKI.
There's one problem with initial ink filling-up.
I am using CISS(MBIS) with 4 cartridges(CMYK).
After first setup by the seller's engineer, there's no problem with using printer.
The cartridges are installed at 1, 3, 5...
Dear all,
just out of curiosity... I wonder how many JV5 (both 160 and 320) user have we got around here?
Just wanna ask you how do you still deal with and maintain these models?
I recently purchased a mimaki jv33 that does have some missing nozzles. My question is concerning what appears to be overspray or deflection in my prints. I wondered if anyone here can perhaps help. I’m posting my settings in flexi along with a picture of my print if I can

Hello,
I am looking for ideas on a humidification system for my Printing area. I have 2 JV33's and need to maintain a humidity lever between 48-55%. We have tried a small table top humidifer and it did not help. My office is small so we thought it would be a good option, however it did not...
