I would start with what smoke suggested. If it's the print and cut alignment, basically there are 2 different alignments, and they have slightly different names in the control panel when you are punching in the calibration values. I think one is called PC cut, and the other name I am forgetting...

You are correct, but from what I understand, there is an approach to modify the UV lamp settings to partially cure the ink. It is not left in liquid form, but not 100% cured either. My guess is something like 90% cured. The goal is to leave it just tacky enough to be sticky, so it bonds to the...

Hello, hope you are all doing well. I'm printing various projects on a Mimaki UCJV300 series printer and am interested in trying to apply foil on TOP of prints. I am aware that I can simply print over metallic media and just use the opacity of the ink to selectively cover & reveal areas that are...

I hope you are all doing well. I am starting to consider the pros/cons of replacing my LcLmWW setup with Cl Cl WW. - Main reasons are in order to be able to add tone on tone effects selectively using matte & gloss - Secondary reason is to for occasional metallic foil applications Questions: -...

Are there settings or parameters that control the various cycling that can be modified? Mainly because I still have some concerns in the back of my mind what might have caused the initial pc boards to go bad and feel most comfotablle with it doing its procedures when I am around during the day...

Greetings, hope you are all doing well. I am happy to report that the printer has been performing beautifully and reliably and I have been able to run a range of media and prints thru it. Very grateful for all the help I received from you generous members in getting the machine back up and...

I've been making progress on running the machine reliably again. Here is a photo of my latest cutting tests and they have gone back to normal centered again. I never figured out what the reason for the shift of the squares was. It was off for a while, but my print/cut seemed to still work...

That is interesting that the sesor can get damaged so often. It seems to be in a very tight spot that is hard to get to. I was surprised that my media managed to twist in a way that got to that sensor and twisted it. I'll keep it in mind for future if it happens again. How do you manage to set...

I ran a bit behind yesterday and only had a chance to do a brief amount of testing. I was able to run the print/cut alignment from the pc and that appears to be cutting well as before. The weird one is the cut test that you do at the control panel on the machine to dial in your pressure...

That's a good point. I will try to be careful to watch out for that. Thank you

Thank you both so much once again for so quickly pointing me in the right direction. It took me some time to get to that sensor. Ended up having to disassemble the cutter carriage from the front as the metal plate behind the sensor had bent and the sensor had actually unplugged. I just finished...

I am not finding any obvious damage yet other than the cutter carriage sensor area where the media was found jammed (photos above). Will continue to inspect. That index carriage did crash into the head pretty hard. Loud crash shook the whole machine. Thankfully, the small encoder stripe sensor...

Photos of sensor on back of cutter carriage (looking in from the back of the machine)

Looking from the back of the cutter carriage, I believe I have found at least one clear issue. - This picture is hard to see but a piece of my media is jammed into between the sensor and its mounting plate on the back - This sensor looks bent out of position ? Angled toward the front of the...

Here are some photos of the carriages. - I can see the index carriage flag at the top appears to be in good shape and can park into the sensor near home ( The crash returning home I think was my fault for moving the index carriage a couple of inches by hand and then closing the door so it...
