It only prints on the first foot of material except for one it goes all the way across.

I love Mimaki Engwish...why can't they hire an english dude or gal to help them....it is soooooo confusing. Has anyone here calibrated a Mimaki JV3???

use narrower material.
what you're referring to is the "fine" adjustment, i believe? it will print the whole width of the media. still a good tool to see your alignment across the whole span of your x-axis.
o, and don't use good material for alignment procedures. you WILL use a lot of linear footage to do it right.

Okay I have a scope.......lit but I mean when it prints it doesn't say anything and the it asks for parameters C1-2...It doesn't have it like Y-Re
You can get the Mimaki service manual that they give the field techs at the JV3 yahoo group or in various threads on these forums. It's still Mimaki english but it was enough to learn from with some trial/error.
The tricky part was figuring out which line they were calling C1-2, etc...I just took one value extremely far and that told me where they were starting to count

Wasting vinyl is a fact of life. It should be calculated in to your costs......

Amen Tony..but there's a lot of people that dont understand that you have to spend money to make money. In this world, saving pennies means making money. And it's far too often that people dont consider the time wasted in trying to save those pennies as a loss..
In regards to the guy looking to not waste vinyl..why not just buy one cheap roll of material and set that aside for when you have to calibrate your machine? Only use it for that purpose. Rolls can be about 75 to 100 or even 150 ft long. If you have to calibrate the Mimaki THAT much..well..
