So you have the jfx200 and you are filling that waste tank a lot? How many times have you filled it this year? I find it hard to believe mimaki saying it costs .20/ sq ft if your filling that waste tank often. My old hp hardly ever wasted ink.

Jfx200 Thank you for the info. We currently have the older jf1631 that we are in the market to replace. This printer has served us well, but one of the main issues we have is the amount of ink it wastes. We do not do an excessive self cleaning, only daily manual cleaning and 1or 2 self...

Never Misses Sounds kinda silly, but we use a kitchen timer you can buy anywhere for a couple a bucks. You can time it just about perfect for different materials, profile settings, etc after some testing. Sometimes it goes off too early for certain materials we may not print all the time like...

Eye One We have one at the shop in perfect condition we could sell. We used to build are profiles, works great. I can get specs and price over to you today.

Laminator Oh, I thought it only holds 25 yards of printed material at a time. Sorry it was early.

Laminator Am I missing something, I'm confused on this question. Can't you just print 25 yards or less at a time and load that into the laminator?

Mimaki Yellow Good news, I had 8 cartridges on order with Grimco and they arrived late last week. Not sure how much they had on hand, but check with them.

JF INk Our vendors are all saying that a bad batch had to be recalled and a new batch will be coming on the slow boat. However, this has been the case for almost 2 months now with no new info coming in on when it will be here. Mimaki still has not gotten back to me about when we should see some...

JF Yellow That do not have any yellow either. We have called them several times. No one seems to know when Mimaki will have ink again.

JF iNk Actually, STS does NOT have inks for this machine. Has anyone found anyone that has yellow ink. We are about to run out and we will be dead in the water. PLEASE HELP if you have a source.

JF Yellow Thanks. I have not had much luck getting a response from them so far. Just wanted to confirm it was on the shelf before I ordered.

JF Yellow Has anyone had any luck finding yellow ink for the JF, oem or knockoff? Thanks

Flora We also interested in hearing from any owners with real world experience. We like the 2512, but have only found 1 owner so far. Any owners, please respond about quality, maintenance, reliability, tech service, etc.

Clear Shield Rage - What Clear Shield are you using over UV inks, I know they have several different solutions for different inks. Also, are you rolling, spraying or running through a liquid laminator?

... I am need of a jf print head as well. I have found several companies in Europe, Japan, Indonesia, etc that sell the toshiba CA4 heads and/or knockoffs as well. Prices range from $900 - $1500, which is chewable compared to the $6000 that Mimaki wants for 1 new head. We have some calls out...

... I have owned a JF for over 2 years. It may appear to be slow when compared to some other printers, but it really hasn't been an issue for us. When it becomes an issue, we will upgrade. If you are not a super high volume shop, it should not be an issue for you either. We run it 40 - 45...

... We just installed a print head for a jv3 from solventinkjet yesterday. Working perfect. x3 about working with them. Shipped and delivered when promised.

... Ummm.....but, you actually can help it by using double sided, blockout material as intended for printing 2 sided banners. Print the first side, wait 24 hours to print the second side and you should have no issues with scratches. When in a rush, we will print both sides the same day, but...

... We bought a JUKI 3188, but just about any commercial JUKI, Double Needle machine will do. Jump online and find a sewing machine seller/repair shop in your area and let them know what you are needing it for and they should be able to help you out with a good used machine. There are others...

... We picked up a JUKI this year. All in all, we have the machine (double stitch), tuned up, table, thread, bobbins, etc for under $2000. We couldn't be happier with the purchase and set up. It will pay for itself in a few more months. We use to send most of our banners to a local company...
