Ground appears to be fine, tested continuity and voltage. I dont have a metalic water pipes. But my antistatic tinsel is also grounded to an outlet.

No big deal to switch it back but just thought it should match the setup in the manual. There has got to be a setting to change it. I figure the line was connected improperly at the other end. But thought there might be something in the settings to change it to be correct.

Based on your comment of pair of matching colors I saw that a yellow and blue were swapped. on the right side. It has been this way since I owned it. Looking in the service manual this is not correct. The colors were from left to right facing the front of the machine. [Magenta/Cyan]...

Yeah the caps appear to be sealing properly. The print only gets bad after it does the misfire. Until it does that it is perfect and the test print is perfect.

I assume you mean the slider board? No have not tried that just yet. I have dampers that I could replace it just does not look like a damper issue to me though.

Nozzle test looks perfect. Inks are a month or so old Yes cleaned encoder and actually replaced it.

It has a new head in it replaced in November I think. Inks are all official Mimaki. I sure hope its not a head, I dont have another one and $3k is a lot for us as we are just starting out.

Update, New head cables did not solve the problem. Not sure where to go next. It did it again around the same spot. As a note where it did it this time it shouldnt have been printing at all.

I have an odd issue on the JV150-130. Basically at the same spot almost every time. It misfires. All positions just kind a spray. It could be immediately into the print it can be 6" up the print. But generally its in the same spot. I have been working with the guys over at SolventInk Jet. It was...

I am new to the FC9000 but have been playing with it for about a month. I just recently started print and cut. So I am now using registration marks. I have been using 4 point type 2. I found you can actually shrink these and it still works just fine. I am using flexi as a side note. I that has...

I am planning to run a print that has 500 items on it all the same. I am printing with a JV150-130 They are about 5" tall x 2.5" wide. I can get 20 in a row. I have done print and cut previously. And It works great. However, what I am wanting to do though is cross cut after every row. So after...

Thanks to Solventinkjet, I am printing. New head and she started printing immediately. I was stubborn and it cost me a month of time. Figured out print and cut today and it went great. Just have to get my perf cut on the graphtec to where it pops out easier. Going to take some playing with. Now...

Yeah I did. Still nothing. Going to keep soaking this weekend and see if not time to order a new head. What the difference between the official Mimaki and the other one? Just the plastic cover?

Well I replaced the top cap I ordered from you today, no luck so far. With the new cap on, no ink ever gets in there. There is a slight bit of blue but most of it is just as white as it was when I installed it. Question, I put in new inks and no matter how many times I do an ink fill it does...

I do want to say that while this was sitting, it was plugged in and on and doing auto cycles, but I am sure it ran out of cleaner because the waste tank was FULL when I picked it up and the maint cart was empty. But some things were crusty. I wanted to start with it as soon as I received it...
