  1. FB500 - Error code E-MD-9 Motor driver board initialization failed bootloop

    I can’t recall exactly and had to look back through some messages and invoices. It seems we ended up going into the BIOS and got lucky. According to my notes, we were double checking BIOS settings and thought we did not change anything. However, it's important to note we did save and exit BIOS...
  2. UJV55-320 -- Print Registration (X-Axis)

    We've never had to go this high on feed adjustments and thought this was odd as well. We've had to go as high as 1200 to get this to adjust properly. From what we've seen there very few people with any experience on this particular model - even within Mimaki. This model has 3 separate motors...
  3. UJV55-320 -- Print Registration (X-Axis)

    Would you happen to have it for this machine?
  4. UJV55-320 -- Print Registration (X-Axis)

    Interesting. I never imagined voltage could be a factor. As stated in OP, I have my doubts it is a head deflection but I'll have our operators take a look as suggested. Thanks.
  5. UJV55-320 Media Compensation coming and going

    Sorry for reviving an old thread but did you ever find a solution to this? Our UJV55-320 has X-Axis registration all over the place immediately after successfully calibrating feed comp.
  6. UJV55-320 -- Print Registration (X-Axis)

    Major print registration issues on our Mimaki UJV55-320. Affecting all colors and consistently bad from start to finish within a print session. Y-Axis registration seems to be fine. We've had techs stop by earlier today and they are saying that heads are deflected. I question that as there have...
  7. Caldera holding printer driver assignments hostage

    This kind of BS is a serious turn off. Any capable RIPs you know that DON'T go that direction? I've heard great things about Print Factory.
  8. Caldera holding printer driver assignments hostage

    We recently upgraded one of our printers and logged into Caldera workspace to reassign the license/print driver assignment accordingly. Low and behold, the option is greyed out and says to contact our Caldera reseller. Upon doing so, we got the following response: "They will need to upgrade...

    I saw your post from a couple years back looking for flatbed recommendations. We're in the same spot now and are looking at some of the same units - digitech, vanguard. What did you guys end up going with? Are you happy with it after 2 years?
  10. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    Reached out to them and waiting for a response. LTX2 is too much for us. Hoping the ST or LT might be more in line with our needs and budget.
  11. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    Yup, way too pricey for our needs/budget. Thanks for the info.
  12. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    Great points to consider. The reason we're considering 2x cheaper units is for redundancy. Being a quick turn shop, we don't have the luxury of buying out when equipment goes down. That Arizona 6100 series looks amazing. Any idea what the starting price is on those units?
  13. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    Looking for some recommendations on which direction we should go for our next purchase. We are replacing 2x aging hybrid UV printers and are looking to increase throughput. Daily volume/jobs: - 90% 4x8 4mm boards - mainly corrugated, foam, pvc - 30-40 4x8 impressions/day with the occasional...
  14. [Mimaki UJV55-320] ERROR 404 Y CURRENT

    Reviving this old thread to add some information for anyone looking for it. We are now on our 4th Y motor on this machine...looks like they are failing after 1-1.5 years (780 - 1170 hours). Anyone else with experience on this machine think this is abnormally low?
  15. FB500 - Error code E-MD-9 Motor driver board initialization failed bootloop

    Our FB500 seems to be stuck in a bootloop due to an error during initialization. Screen will show "Initializing 48% - 75E4-B" then error out with error code "E-MD-9 Motor driver board initialization failed". Next logical step is to obviously replace the motor driver board, but error codes are...
