Hi guys! I'm thinking about buying small uv flatbed printer. I've come accross one Mimaki UJF-3042FX at fair price, but two printheads needs to be replaced. Because of physical damage, there is a gap in missing nozzles about 5mm. So I was searching for printheads and found 2 versions: Original...

Until ONYX decides to figure out how to get us printing cmyk+w on our new UCJV we're stuck using rasterlink. I'd like to meet the people that created this software and have a few words with them....but I digress. Honestly it's insulting using this software after using Versaworks for 11 years...

We've had our JFX200 up & running for well over a year and are experiencing two issues. The first is error 715 (ink heater thermistor), it comes up daily and requires a shut down and restart. We've had the service tech attempt multiple repairs and it's still an issue. They (service) are now...

I'm using FineCut8 on Illustrator (and have just downloaded FineCut9 trial to see if there's any difference, and there's not) When placing registration marks, the option to add intermediate registration marks is greyed out and unavailable to click... Any help or ideas on why this is happening &...

Hi Everyone, Im thinking of buying a new Mimaki JV150 - 160 and im told that the only option for Eco inks is the CMYK plus the light inks option as opposed to the CMYK-CMYK option which is not the Eco ink option (in other words it needs outside venting and stinks anyway) I've also been told...

Hi all, we bought new printer CJV150-160 and got Mimaki RIP Rasterlink 6 with. Since now we used OnyxRip with our HP L26500 printer.

Got a print head that won't print on a mimaki JV3-130 sp2. The head is fine, we can pull ink through, it just won't print at all. Was mentioned to us that it might be a blown micro fuse on the main board. Does anybody know where these are at on the board so we can check them?

Should I purchase a Mimaki jv150-160 or Epson S40600. Both single head 64 inch...do not need cutter on machine. 1. Ink costs? 2. Longevity? 3. Print Quality Thank you very much!

Hi all, totally new here and new to printing :-) Our company has recently bought a Mimaki CJV30-130 for printing posters etc for our own marketing campaigns! There seems to be some 'over spray' from all colours - this is the best way I can describe it - and also lines in Cyan and Magenta. You...

Hi again folks. I'm tinkering with a jv3 160sp and got the electronics sorted out and was on my way to getting the heads unclogged and all of a sudden during a pattern test it starts dumping out the cyan like mad, from the moment it leaves the capping station till it returns to park its a...

Hello everyone, I have a very specific use case which is to print direct to 8.5 x 11 sheets of acrylic face mounted, so I can leave some sections of the image transparent. I am looking to buy a brand new printer that's best for this application, and my budget is ideally 30k - 50k. It would be...

Hey all, hopefully one of you can help me out. I was plotting on the Mimaki this morning and it looks like the blade pulled back on a large section of the vinyl and backing and got jammed. I cleared out the vinyl and wiped the blade no problem but now my pressure settings are all WAY off...

I have a Mimaki CJV30-130. I am getting vertical stripes on the top, bottom & in front of my design. Stripes are in all 4 colors. I just replaced 4 expired ink cartridges (factory SS21 which I always use) after running expired cartridges for a couple weeks. My test print is good. My print...

I soaked the DX5 in my Mimaki JV33-160 and now it does not print anything. No error codes nothing. I am suspecting it was a dye sub aqueous water based print head and by soaking it in solvent ruined it. ( yes / No opinions? ) So I'm hoping someone has a used head that I can test with, even...
