  1. UCJV330 Gloss Curing

    You should be good if you run a second NOPRINT pass on any super thick clear runs. Once you're out of warranty I would honestly recommend just switching from OEM clear to STS's version. It's cheaper, glossier, less yellowed, and doesn't seem to get the fogged/smudged effect or sticking even at...
  2. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    I'm currently printing color >pullback then multiple overprints of clear, so unfortunately no way to do this without multiple overprints of color. Also, it is strange because if I cut with no registration marks, it cuts where it needs to be (no more than a mm or so out of alignment) but I like...
  3. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    Do you have any idea why my UCJV cannot find the first registration marks when pull-back printing? It always searches above the first mark, and then I get a mark detect error and have to manually place the laser. I only noticed this happening after I swapped out my Y motor (which should have...
  4. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    Holy hell, yep, worked for me. Thank you so much! This is a game changer. Literally saves minutes every print. Not to mention I can actually walk away from the prints! Makes me wonder how many other fixes are in the parameters and not mentioned in the user manual.
  5. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    Looks like whatever you did you nailed it (and if you ever need a nice glossy material, I've been using a lot of HP Permanent Gloss Adhesive from Lexjet lately. Would this be in the #Cut or #Adjust or which area? I'm not at my machine currently. Or is this only for 330s? Will this exist on a...
  6. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    Oh dude, I totally forgot that yeah the safety clips have to be out lol. The tech that delivered my printer took them out day 1 so I forgot that's even a thing. They're really easy to take off and I was told if you ever lose them you can just throw a piece of cardboard in the slot it goes into...
  7. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    You want to flip them down as soon as it puts them up (I just follow behind the tool arm and do it as soon as it lifts them) so that it pulls the vinyl back *with all* the rollers. Where can I also email them? Maybe there's strength in numbers? The major downside is having to do this between...
  8. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    I know it's late, I don't believe anybody said this yet, but if you put your pinch rollers down manually as soon as it lifts them up (just pull the purple arm back over to the right) you can pullback print with all rollers down, which leads to a way better alignment. I have pretty solid success...
  9. Mimaki UCJV300-160 patchy printing

    Been having similar issues with my clear ink on my UCJV300, where the first 2inches or so of the print are super thick gloss, and then it lays down a lighter layer/gives light banding in the clear ink and a less spectacular glossy look.
  10. Question Are there any inksets or settings for the UCJV300 gloss that makes it more comparable to Roland gloss prints?

    Fair points. Most if not all of the time it's not going to be something my clients notice, so I may as well not sweat it, and just upgrade/add something else to the arsenal in the future if I still feel the need.
  11. Question Are there any inksets or settings for the UCJV300 gloss that makes it more comparable to Roland gloss prints?

    Ultimately yeah I'd rather just have slightly textured gloss than spend $20-50k a year on ink from the excessive waste I hear about Rolands. Not to mention potential downtime. And you're right, I'm just a worry wart. I think about any downtime I might have, clients shopping elsewhere and being...
  12. Question Are there any inksets or settings for the UCJV300 gloss that makes it more comparable to Roland gloss prints?

    Oh, shoot, I did all the dot position corrections when I set my head height to high because I was getting a lot of ghosting. So unfortunately not sure calibration is the issue either. Maybe the head slant. I'll run the tests and see if they need any further corrections. I'll report back if I end...
  13. Question Are there any inksets or settings for the UCJV300 gloss that makes it more comparable to Roland gloss prints?

    I do have the service/maintenance manual, do you know what I'd need to check? Thanks for all the help troubleshooting also
  14. Question Are there any inksets or settings for the UCJV300 gloss that makes it more comparable to Roland gloss prints?

    Just tried one adding a good amount of tension and no luck either unfortunately. I don't think it's tension or necessarily nozzle related (unless the nozzle is starting to have issues mid print) because no matter how many times I try, it's always pristine at the beginning and degrades by the...
  15. Question Are there any inksets or settings for the UCJV300 gloss that makes it more comparable to Roland gloss prints?

    Yes always set to strong in the printer setup - I'm trying one with it manually set to strong in the quality settings though, in case something isn't translating properly from setup.
  16. Question Are there any inksets or settings for the UCJV300 gloss that makes it more comparable to Roland gloss prints?

    V3.2.0 firmware, and I've been mostly doing these tests with 1200x1200 to get better coverage, the 600x1200 tests end up with the same effect but an obviously thinner ink layer, so it's a bit more noticeably textured. 1200x1200 (especially with 2 overprints) starts off pristine and degrades...
  17. Question Are there any inksets or settings for the UCJV300 gloss that makes it more comparable to Roland gloss prints?

    It sucks knowing the printer is technically capable of the smoother gloss but I have no idea how to achieve it across the whole print. Gonna call some techs this week and see if anybody has run into something similar/been able to solve it. Starting to feel more like an ink density issue but I...
  18. Question Are there any inksets or settings for the UCJV300 gloss that makes it more comparable to Roland gloss prints?

    Do you think it's possible the subtank isn't getting enough ink?
  19. Question Are there any inksets or settings for the UCJV300 gloss that makes it more comparable to Roland gloss prints?

    I think I'm at the highest head gap because I was getting a lot of headstrikes with it on medium or low. Absolutely perfect feed comp test :/ I will try lowering the head for sure but it just doesn't strike me as the reason because it starts out perfect and worsens after that first portion...
