  1. Permanent Chips for Mimaki 6042 MKII

    Anyone have any finds on these?
  2. How Do You Stop Mimaki Hard Ink Coming Off Acrylic Due To The Weather?

    Are you using primer? I've had stuff adhere pretty well as long as I have a primer layer down first. If I don't it can peel off.
  3. UJF 3042mkii - constant flushing and circulation

    Update: Tech confirmed log files show nothing wrong - machine is running properly. I swear I remember it running less often, but they say its the norm. Mimaki was pretty good once contacted and gave a good amount of help and support as well as helped me out with the ink.
  4. UJF 3042mkii - constant flushing and circulation

    Update: Finally got the log files off the machine. Made a separate post detailing how. Machine is still stuck in the same cycle - waiting to hopefully hear something back tomorrow now that the log file has been obtained. Also - anyone know about the ink question? Will then continue to run...
  5. Ujf 3042mkii log files

    Nevermind, finally figured it out with the help of a great Mimaki rep. The software you use to retrieve the data has a tab for "Upload" and "Log Upload". (Again, confusing. Upload is to get from the machine, download is to send to it.) If you try to use the "Log Upload" tab, it will try for a...
  6. Ujf 3042mkii log files

    Hi everyone, Trying to figure out if I'm missing something. I've been asked to get the log files off the printer, but no matter what I try I've been unable to pull them off. If anyone has been able to do so, can you please pass along what mode you were booted into and what program you used...
  7. UJF 3042mkii - constant flushing and circulation

    Update: Finished going through a bunch of firmware updates in an attempt to see if it would fix the issue. Downgraded back to version 3.9, then worked my way back up from 3.9 -> 4.0 -> 4.3 -> 5.0 and finally 5.1. No change in the machine and still stuck in the same loop...
  8. UJF 3042mkii - constant flushing and circulation

    Got in touch with Mimaki and got the original parameters file. "Downloaded" the file onto the machine and went through the setup process. Didn't realize loading the parameters does a full reset of the machine. Once it was finished going through everything I made sure the auto maintenance was set...
  9. UJF 3042mkii - constant flushing and circulation

    I did a full factory default reset and also redid the 4.3 firmware update. No change after either.
  10. UJF 3042mkii - constant flushing and circulation

    Hi everyone, Could use some help. Had issues last year with a failed slider board, replaced it and after cleaning the heads everything seemed to be back to normal - at least for a while. For the last couple of months I have been having an issue with the machine constantly running after...
  11. Need Help UJF 3042 Mk II EX Error

    Pumps probably one of the easier things to replace. Facing the rear of the machine it's behind the right panel. Other side of where you add the water.
  12. Need Help Mimaki 3042mkii - 11f System Halt

    Just adding a follow up: Finally recieved and tried the PR200 maintenance fluid a week ago. Not really sure if it did a damn thing to be honest. Multiple soaks and even tried directly cleaning the head with it and saw no improvement over my prior test prints. Out of complete desperation at...
  13. UJF-3042MkIIEx - Diagnosing Head Thermistor Error

    Are you still able to run the printer? I just went through a Slider Board issue on the same machine as you - can confirm it is a complete poop show trying to get parts. Have you tried contacting Mimaki directly? I found much more help doing that than I did dealing with my local supplier. If...
  14. Need Help Mimaki 3042mkii - 11f System Halt

    Update for anyone interested - installed the PCB Slider Board (finally recieved on Tuesday after waiting for over 2 weeks) and it fixed the issue. Going through the log files I saw errors showing an overvolt issue. I have a feeling it was related to the earlier printhead issue I had with this...
  15. Need Help Mimaki 3042mkii - 11f System Halt

    Is there anyone here able to sell me a PCB Slider board for my machine and able to ship to Canada? I am having no luck getting one from my supplier and my heads are likely going to be garbage soon if I don't get this fixed asap. Thanks for any help. Sincerely, JohnTom
