ok no Mimaki is not offering a timeline on this. We have 3 Jf 16 31. I am asking for help from those that are much smarter than I in the sign industry as to how I might get yellow ink in these printers quickly either through third-party inks or bulk ink systems please help

Looks like they're back-ordered in Canada too.... sorry man. :covereyes:

I would definitely look into Bordeaux, might be your only option.

Good luck, hopefully you can get some ink flowing your way soon.

Good Morning,

I am Francis Kao with Premier Colour carrying full Bordeaux ink products. What's the best phone number to call? Any chance you'd be at SGIA? We are in Bordeaux Booth 1401. Anyone welcome to stop by to support a signs101 merchant. We are showing Bordeaux products on XR640 and Fuji Acuity UV.

Bordeaux is good stuff. I switched to Triangle when I got a new printer cause the company didn't carry Bordeaux, but both have been fine for me, and saved a ton over OEM. I ran Bordeaux over 6 years before upgrading printer.

I have noob question about switching to Triangle. I am thinking of at least using it on my JV3 instead of OEM to save money and it sounds like they work great. I know I am supposed to swap out all my inks at once for the new stuff, but is there anything else I have to do? Do I need to do anything with cartridge chips or settings on the printer? Any info would be much appreciated.

Last thing you want to do is to switch to triangle. Aggressive ink will not last your parts long. If you had to do somehow, make notes before putting their ink, make notes after you switched the ink. CALL triangle and make sure this is everything you needed to get warranty on your printer.

We carry Bordeaux ink - made in USA. Highly recommended in the market. Cost 20% less than there ink. Give me a call. I will explain what you needed.

Mine was plug and play for both Bordeaux and Triangle. They say you may get a slight color shift when it kicks over to the new cartridge, but 90% of what I print is short term signage, and that wasn't an issue. Never saw a shift, and all I've done is not waste as much money on inks.

How did you go? Any luck with a third party supplier?
We love Mimaki machines but this level of service and support is a joke!

Actually, STS does NOT have inks for this machine. Has anyone found anyone that has yellow ink. We are about to run out and we will be dead in the water. PLEASE HELP if you have a source.

That do not have any yellow either. We have called them several times. No one seems to know when Mimaki will have ink again.

Our vendors are all saying that a bad batch had to be recalled and a new batch will be coming on the slow boat. However, this has been the case for almost 2 months now with no new info coming in on when it will be here. Mimaki still has not gotten back to me about when we should see some yellow ink. We have owned a half a dozen mimaki printers and have always been strong supporters of the brand, however this is going to change my tune. If we run out, we are royally screwed. We do a lot of wholesale printing and I cannot print and lay all these jobs we have meant for the flatbed and be profitable.

Has anyone found a supplier for the yellow ink? This has been a nightmare!!

Mimaki can;t even offer a timeline and Grimco told me they should be receiving some December 1st which is not the case. I tried the STS ink company, they told me it would work and took my money but the cartridge does not work so do not buy from them. They are in the business of screwing the customer.

I agree. If I had one of those printers, let alone 3 like the OP, sitting idle because the manufacturer "ran out of ink" I would be getting in touch with a lawyer. Think of the income being lost from equipment sitting for that long not to mention running the risk of the heads drying up from not running. :noway:

Hope you got this sorted out by now Jay.

Hi Pat...no luck yet and I have thousands of dollars in Christmas gifts that I cannot print. I have 3 - JF 1631 printers and can't do a thing.

Good news, I had 8 cartridges on order with Grimco and they arrived late last week. Not sure how much they had on hand, but check with them.
