mimaki jv3

Hello there. I have a Mimaki JV3-160 for a while now, everything worked perfectly until today when I wanted to print something and nothing is printed, not even a nozzle test. There is no errors on the display, nothing. If I want to print something, the printer will start print but no ink will...

We replaced the capping station and have excess ink on our caps, as well as cross contamination. Mimaki says you can adjust the head in service mode, and want 2k + to come out. Any help on how to make the adjustment?

I have been having problems getting the colors to print correctly on my Mimaki JV3s for ages, I have managed to get them partially right with some bizarre settings but some colors just come one really wrong and it's starting to become a real problem. I am using FlexiSIGN-PRO 8.1 with the built...

I've been trying to fix my JV3 myself with little knowledge. I'm really glad to find this site. The black head started partially printing the test print block. I replaced the dampers, but lost most of the black test print block. I discovered the black lines were empty at the pump so I suctioned...

Hello all. I am currently trying to get a couple of Mimakis to work but they don't accept half of the cartridge chips that I have, I needs these printers up and running quickly but I am unable to source any new sets of ink chips locally. I would rather not have to resort to buying a whole set...

I have a Mimaki JV3-160 SP Ultra and I recently installed a new Yellow print head. I'm now getting a thin yellow line or band around my prints, especially if it's a smaller print or text. I need to do the head calibration and alignment and I have the service manual. But when I go to #ADJUST and...

Hi All, We've recently had our Mimaki JV3 160SP completely crash. We sent our mainboard in to Mac Media and they quickly fixed and sent back to us. The printer has been working well all week, except for the fans which I fixed by replacing the cable from the IO2 to the Mainboard. After replacing...

First post, long-time lurker. I recently purchased a JV3-160SP and the Cyan capping station would not drain. After several nozzle washes, the person I purchased it from told me to remove the capping station top and push solution through the line. I did and it corrected the clogged line. It...

We have a Mimaki JVC-160SP. When I do a print test, I have missing yellow bars (I tried uploading a picture but the upload keeps failing). We've tried everything in the owners manual with no luck and are currently waiting for the yellow ink cartridges to run out in hopes it will clear up the...

Can anyone help me find some tutorials (websites, videos, ect...) on Finecut 7? I have the Mimaki Jv3 160sp and a Roland GX24 Plotter, and I'm trying to learn how to cut small decals. Thanks

I recently acquired two Mimaki JV3-130s that had been without power for two weeks and consequently, everything dried up. I am looking for someone to come repair them for me, do you have any recommendations/suggestions? Thank You, Dennis

Hello smart people, I have a question about getting RIP software. I have a Mimaki JV3-160sp, and HP 5500 ps. Anyone have any success using Flexi (FlexiPro, Flexi Starter, FlexiStarter 10, etc) as RIP software. Also, does every version of Flexi come with RIP options to print, nowadays?? I...

Still having issues with my machine. When I print on Fast mode, I have the problem of the color printing washed out after a few feet. When I print on Normal Mode, I don't have that issue but it prints "hairline" magenta lines in a few different places. It goes away if I stop it and do a soft...

Hi Guys. We have a JV3 160sp. We recently had a new black head put in by Blueprint Imageing NZ. Perfect test print. Then the following day we get this from the black head. Is it buggered already? Or could some settings be wrong? I manually clean the machine every other day. Nozzle wash 3-4...

I have a Mimaki JV3-160SP. What would cause a distorted print as seen in the attached file? The red is suppose to be a straight red bar.

I had a plastic nozzle break off the top of one of mine and I want to try to fix an old one I have. The rest of my print head is good, I just need this plastic piece. Anyone have one laying around that they were throwing away?
