The power supply voltage is adjustable, so hopefully it just needs tweaking. If not, those TDK Lambda units can be pricey buggers.

Might be a bad EPL (main board), could be voltages, or disconnected wires. Does it ever boot, or does it throw the error immediately?

Found the recommended temps for the UV inks, at least for the UJF-7151. Should be the same.

Make sure your wiper is set right, can adjust it in the service menu. If you have the setup guide, it should be in there. Could also be old built up ink in the wiper slot that isn't allowing it to seat down properly causing the blade to act like a slingshot for ink drops hanging out on the...

Had a thread on chips but it got black-holed. If under warranty, you are best sticking with Mimaki supplies in-date to comply with their end. We run all used machines here, so we do all sorts of dumb, fun and crazy stuff with ours.

If anyone is running a UJF-30/6042, can do that as well. Mine are all gone/down at the moment. (They do use CE4 heads, but similar waveform properties to the GEN5)

If you have a working profile, can just warm the head up for a nozzle check then go to #TEST> SENSOR menu and scroll through that.

Can get self-resetting chips for both PR-200 and LH100, so all good there. Primer is cursed for me, but I use the channel for homebrew metallic ink and it basically gives me an extra spot color.

Mixing bottles is fine. What ink set are you using? If it's LH-100, can do self-resetting chips or can just modify the expiration date on them.

Could be clogged lines at your capping station not draining properly, try executing a Disway Wash and seeing if the lines are draining properly. Not uncommon for the lines to become partially or fully clogged.

Yup, pullback is needed because gloss ink has to settle before it is cured. Otherwise the droplets don't have time to spread out and you get matte.

Yes, but you might need to do a print retract to do it. Under the compositing tab in Rasterlink, the printer will release all but the far edge rollers on the left and right sides to keep from smearing ink with the rollers, so make sure things are well aligned.

Just grab a new set of cartridges, do a factory reset and it should run you through the refill procedure. As long as the heads aren't dried out or clogged badly, should pull in more than enough ink to fill and flush the system of storage fluids/cleaner.

The printer has a recirculator, I just bypassed it with a second pump to flush it out. No good diagrams of the ink system, so might record a video on the system in case other people are messing with this model.

Today was head flushing day, use the diaphragm pump on a Chinese print head cleaner and spliced in with Luer fittings to force circulate the ink a bit while draining off and replacing with flushing fluids. Don't forget to cap the subtank vent fitting on top to prevent it from dumping ink into...
