You might not have very good luck asking for Mimaki firmware in a Mutoh forum and thread....

Aside from that did you read in the Mimaki threads? Specifically the JV33 bible thread where there is a link to get the firmware you are asking for? http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?80525-jv33-bible/page2

Thanks for the link sightline. Do you know if i can downgrade from my version 4.1 to 2.2?
Do i have to go from 4.1 to 4.0, after to 3.2 and finally to 2.2?

Golden epson dx5 from epson r2000 in a valuejet 1614

Hello guys ! Just to keep this post alive, I want to mention my experience from this morning......Bought an EPSON R2000 with a paper jam for 10 GBP. It came a very clean machine with a rubber band stuck in the drive roll, that was hard to see. The head couldn't be tested due to empty black inks. I just removed it, put my old solvent mainfold from the MUTOH ValueJet 1614 and inserted in the MUTOH. I expected the printer will just show an error, as the head is golden plated and according to all photos of the cable connectors it should be LOCKED. I don't know what a LOCKED head should do, but the printer initialized and did a nozzle check....perfect...at first sight only :) when I printed a file , there was like missing 10 mm colors at different widths. Maybe it's what a LOCKED head looks like. I will now order an unlock card and test it. If it works...it will be worth the try for 10 GBP for a head and 50 USD for a card.I will keep You in touch if the head will work on MUTOH 1614.
Regards ,IVO
