Hi all first of all my names marty I'm new here, I run a sign company in Melbourne Australia, I recently bought a jv3 160sp from one of my friends who knew nothing about them, I have about 30 cartridges for them but all expired, I read you can reset the carts back to new by removing the battery on the main board, I tried this but failed, I also read that on firmware 5.50 they have added security so users can't reset the clock is this true?

In in a nutshell what I'm looking for is either to reset the ink carts, or find a CISS or refillable cart unit with chips! I've looked everywhere, most sell without chips, any help would be good, cheers.

Yes that's correct pulled the battery, then put it back in nothing's changed, mind you the printer isn't hooked up to any pc or network, it keeps telling me the cartridges are 'X' can you confirm what model number battery these machines use, mine has a 2032.

i have tried the battery thing several times even left the machine unplugged over night and tried it.

once I pull the battery and reinsert it it comes up asking what type of carts I have then once I select ss2 it comes up with the 'X' s.

i don't know what to do? Any suggestions?

This issue has been fixed, how it started was we started a head wash accidentally without the wash carts powered the machine off then got stuck at the set a cartridge screen, thanks for your help anyways.

Not detecting cartridges

I have also just bought a second hand machine (Mimaki JV3 160SP) that had been in storage with the heads & lines flushed. I inserted the ink cartridges and and it is displaying select ink type. I am selecting the correct ink as previously used (bulk ink feed) inks are full and have replaced chips (which are supposed to be new).
It is still displaying insert ink??
I have tried removing inks and powering down etc. Its not detecting the cartridges.
Do the chips time out? Even if new??

SHUT DOWN the JV3
PRESS key "<" ">" AT THE SAME TIME when Powering on the machine
When the device ready, PRESS KEY "END" 1 time.
Enter into into menu"SYSTEM PARAMETRE"
Choose and enter"Ink 1 parametre".
Look for Item 93 and change the value "3" to "0"
Exit and choose the ink type you want shows on the LCD.
After been choosen, The device will advice you to insert the cartridges. Disregard it and shut down the device directly.
REpeat steps 1> ...6> but this time change value "0" to "3".
After set, the device will ask you to insert the cartridges.
insert the proper cartridge.

Mimaki JV3 160sp - setting up colour profiles and input profiles.

I am in the process of setting up rasterlink pro2 for a JV3 160sp.
Its a fresh install.

Am having trouble with setting up the colour profiles and input profiles.
Just not sure where to place them in the computer directory when setting up??

Thanks
Gavin.
