Stickerjoe, Check your email. I really wanted to mention their name because I think they did a great job, and were very dedicated and thorough. But at the same time, I feel like I made it sound as if it was their fault that I had to resend the boards. I definitely don't believe it was their...

After having the Main Board Repaired, and my Slider Board returned... The printer continued to print Full-Out Yellow!!! BUT... The company sent along a "Loaner Slider Board, just in case", an lo and behold THAT FIXED IT! Prints perfectly now. Thanks for all of your suggestions. Now you have one...

J Hill, Thanks, I'll try that when this Main Board and Slider Board come back - and if it does the same thing. I'm HOPING that it is just something they missed first time around? Of course, this will be about 2 weeks without the printer when the stuff comes back!

By the Way... Even though my "byline" here indicates "Preppie", I am a Preppie with 38 years of Experience in the sign industry - and I've had this Mimaki since 2006, so I've known it pretty well, and STILL love it, regardless. ;)

I'm going nuts. I've checked every ribbon cable and connection with a very powerful magnifying glass. I even did a continuity check on EACH cable, and made sure there were no "crossovers" from one contact to another - Large Cables and Slider Cables. The YELLOW Ink is STILL Printing across the...

HERE is the Latest in this Saga: Last Wednesday, I sent the Main Board and the Slider Board out to be "Repaired". Got it back yesterday, and Installed it today... As you can see from the Photo Above, the Mimaki JV3 Printer is STILL Printing Yellow Full-Out, no matter what. This is a TEST PRINT...

Just make sure it's a "Real Customer" before spending any time on quoting. There are a LOT of fakes out there.

Easier at the Board :) It also let me know that the problem is coming from the Source of the Signal at the Yellow Connector.

If it was the Cable, then the Yellow would have still printed Weird from the Cyan Connector on the Slider Board. Since the CYAN printed bad - from the Yellow Connector on the Slider Board - then the SIGNAL from the Yellow Connector is bad, not the Ribbon Cable. So it looks like I'm Screwed. I...

I Switched Over the Yellow and the Cyan Ribbon Cables at the Slider, and that causes the Cyan to Print the way the Yellow was. But wouldn't that indicate it's just be the Signal getting to the Yellow Ribbons that's defective somehow... Yes? Still Looking for any extra Ribbon Cables hanging...

I'll try that. But don't stop suggestions, please. I'll let you know what works.

I posted this in Digital Print, but I NEED HELP NOW. HELP! Mimaki JV3 Printing FULL YELLOW Background My Mimaki JV3 is printing a FULL background of Yellow, no matter what is sent to print. Even during a "Print Test", it prints a FULL...

My Mimaki JV3 is printing a FULL background of Yellow, no matter what is sent to print. Even during a "Print Test", it prints a FULL BAND of Yellow - As soon as it begins ANY Printing! The Print Head begins to Print Yellow across the entire length of Vinyl, but it even Prints across the Metal...

Nobody?

ANY ideas? The Mimaki is asleep right this moment, so we can talk about it before it wakes up! :omg:

In another, possibly related note: Just recently I replaced both Yellow Cartridges. Within a few days, BOTH 440ml Cartridges had DRAINED OUT. Since the Machine won't shut itself down, I had been manually shutting it down at the wall outlet for half a day while I'm out. Did this somehow cause it...

Normally, after Turning the machine OFF, my JV3 130SPII would stay off for a good while, and then "Wake Up" and go through what I will call a "Cycle". Recently, it goes through the "Cycling", and REMAINS ON. Fans Run; Checks Its Inks; Fails to Go Back to Sleep! If there is still Media in the...

Try something in the Microgramma, or Eurostile families. They aren't perfect, but they have the same feel.
