Once in a while, I have come across one roll of material here and there, that has a layer of dust on it, thru the entire roll. So Jim Hancock is on the right track, imho.

I never install. Anything. For anyone. Never. Wish my boss knew that.

FYI, message from Mimaki service says THERE ARE NO TIMERS FOR EITHER VACUUM OR WAKE-UP for the JFX200. So you have to MANUALLY turn off the vacuum after each print, and cannot set the "morning boot" to happen before you arrive. OCE had BOTH these features YEARS AGO. Come on, Mimaki! You can do...

Hi Chosen23! We just bought a JFX200. Love it, especially since it replaces a roll vinyl machine! No more lam n mount! Anyway, was trying to see if there are TIMERS on this machine, to shut off the vacuum after printing, and to wake the machine up in the AM before I arrive. Would like to set...

"Nah, I'm cool. Don't need to bring a printed proof."

I hear this, or somethnig similar, constantly. "Pffffft!!! Pay for design?!? My kid got Photoshop on his computer for XMas. They can do it!"

My VUTEK experience is a big bad joke. Most unreliable machine I have ever used. Repair dude once a week. Thousands of $$$ of material wasted, as it would mess up mid-way through 3-hour prints. Garage door stop.

Hey ALL! We have some HP spindle hubs from a previous printer. These break pretty often and are costly to replace. MAKE AN OFFER! You pay shipping. Thanks! - Doug Westwood Printing & Signs Vancouver, BC, Canada

Third party ink?

Wow. Can't fully understand your post. Try some punctuation and capital letters.

UPDATE: We found another 8 ink carts! Add those to your savings!

I mean, could the ink be old/cloggy? If you do the cyan/magenta swap, and the test print is good when you swap them back, then the ink would seem to be OK. We recently had an ink leak on our JV150-160, right behind the carriage heads, near the dampers. Invisible until repairman took it apart...

Could it be an ink problem? Does the Cyan return fully when swapped back?

Yes, we do!!

Pretty sedate for Florida, actually ....
