  1. replacing printers

    Hello, I'd appreciate any experienced thoughts about this. I currently have a Mimaki JV33-160 and a Mimaki CG-130fx II. The thing is that as of a year ago I've completely stopped anything that has to do with local market, and I make stuff to sell online. I sell on eBay and Etsy and my...

  3. Newbie: Ghost-Picture on JV33-260, Rasterlink

    Hi! Im completly new in LFP, after preparing a used JV33-260 (new printinghead, new ink), I run into troubles after adjusting the head. Printing with RasterLink is working, but printing in bidirectonal mode causes ghosting - a difference between the two ways about one millimeter. (see...
  4. New DX5 printheads cause a line at 60cm

    Hi, I've just purchased a few of new DX5 printheads to replace. It turns out that on the print, there would be an annoying line at 60cm. I heard from people that Epson are trying to do something to eliminate of other manufactures making use of their DX5 printheads? I'm in desperate need of...
  5. Mimaki DX5 head variations & compatibility

    Good day to all. I have been trying to get everything sorted out in my head regarding the Epson heads used in my Mimaki JV-5 printer. The Mimaki part # is M007947 and is stupid in price. Some suggestion has been that you can use the JV33 head without the 'board' and transfer the one off the old...
  6. JV33 Printing Weird Ovals

    Hello, I have been messing around with my New Mimaki JV33, and see these weird ovals on my prints. Only does it where the Cyan is right now, but for the life of me can't figure out where. Done some cleanings, but I'm new to this so maybe I'm missing something? Is it maybe the media...
  7. JV33/RasterLink Dropping Crop Marks Incorrectly?

    I recently had a large order in which I had a number of sheets that had to be printed exactly to size for an outside fabricator. I noticed that everything I was printing was coming out around an inch short on the vertical drop and couldn't figure out why. My files would be the correct size in...
  8. Weird Pattern printing on my JV33

    So in our JV33 160 something went haywire and fried out main board about 2 months ago. We took it out. Sent it for repairs. Got it back and re-installed it and everything went peaches and cream until 2 weeks later the same thing happened! AGAIN! but this time, it was worst. Main board couldn't...
  9. Dot alignment Mimaki JV33-160

    Hi. I searched through lots of threads but couldn't seem to find the information I am looking for. I'm still fairly new on here so maybe I am looking in the wrong places. Essentially my problem is this. Most of our prints look great but when needing fine detail, particular small text, it...

    Good Morning All, This is my first post, been lurking for a while now. I have a JV33 with a Colorburst v9.4.6 demo and I'm trying to run 6C+white ink through it. So far, unsuccessfully. Just got off the phone with Colorburst and was told they don't support that inkset, which I believe based...
  13. Mimaki JV33 Error 207 *UNDERFLOW*

    :banghead:So I'm printing like any regular day, the machine finishes the print and all of the sudden a steady BEEP goes off. No messages or nothing. The control panel is frozen so I turn the machine off, waited and turned it back on and everything was fine. Later on went to do a cleaning and...
  14. JV33 Initial fill not starting

    Hi I attempted to run a discharge and wash on my JV33 as I have been having trouble with ink not passing through to the heads. Ended up wasting the ink in the lines that were making it through the heads, while the ones with blockages did not drain at all. To top this off I did not realise I...
