Mimaki Tech

[aboom]

Are there any Mimaki Techs on here located in Michigan? I need some help getting my printer going again. Its a CJV150.

Basically, it needs the lines flushed and a new printhead installed. I plan on doing it myself, but if I can find someone to help that'd be great. I will obviously pay you for your time.

I have the flush carts, new dampers, new cap, new pump, and the head is on the way.

Based in OKC, but if you need remote guidance, lots of people on the forum. Tends to be a straight-forward operation and the CJV150 is a lot easier than the CJV300 since it just has a single head.

youtube vids are a great resource. this guy walks you through his process pretty well.
biggest concern during replacement is making sure you keep ink from dripping into electrical components, as those ribbon cables LOVE channeling a drop of ink into an expensive part.

i have, however, recovered a printhead with a drop of ink in the connections but it is tedious work involving strips of cardstock and cleaning solution. dab dab, replace & repeat a million times, then do it again with isopropyl & allow a day or two to dry.
