===SOFTWARE=== I am going to assume that people who are going to this step have some basic experience with the Arduino IDE. Pretty easy to get started and there are thousands of tutorials. 1) Open the Arduino Library Manager under Tools> Manage Libraries 2) Install OneWireHub library. 3) Copy...

===This is going to be a multi-part thread, so the first post will not be all-encompassing. === This is open source information, zero special software needed. It simply allows someone to emulate a chip for duplication, backup or easy transfer. This should not interfere with any printer...

If you get the same ink type, fine with swap-as-you-go. If changing types, will need to do a flush.

The factory stands use screw-down feet to lift it off the wheels, but the bed itself on the MKII's move so it's not a high accuracy thing. Don't have to be crazy level like you would with something like a JFX200.

Wheels make servicing the printer WAY easier. -Guy who works on printers all day.

Based in OKC, but if you need remote guidance, lots of people on the forum. Tends to be a straight-forward operation and the CJV150 is a lot easier than the CJV300 since it just has a single head.

2 customers I have use them and like them, comparable to Mimaki and way cheaper.

I use silicone grease, also comes in handy for circulation pumps.

Probably a bad idea.

We're exclusively UV in our shop and I service all sorts of printers; Aqueous, solvent, UV, toner, even edible inks. For our use at least, UV inks have a 1 year shelf life and Mimaki ink, on a good day might have 8 months left on the date by the time they get to me. Figured it just made more...

These use the Epson i3200 HD 8 channel UV heads. While I do have some gripes about the printer, I would definitely call it an upgrade to the UCJV300, especially in terms of print quality, and the 300 is a tank. Interested to see if it can be just as reliable in the long run too. The printer has...

I use STS out of Florida and have had pretty good luck. So much so, we stock them here and I even support printers if it causes issues. Only issue so far was with too much pigment in a batch of UV ink and I flushed the customer's machine out, was a pain, but overall, very happy with their stuff...

Yeah, looks pretty typical. White is one of those things that just loses a good bit in bleed-out. Not much you can do to change that unfortunately. Any time a cleaning or purge is done, all channels are pulled from, plus you have circulation losses and also a white ink circulation tank to fill...

I have had great luck with Sihl material for aqueous, but the coating it has can be chalky and prone to chipping if kept in a humid environment for a long time. We ran it in an older Epson Stylus Pro 9900 and the colors were amazing. Longevity, not so much. The Epson stuff was good too, but I...

Are you going off the screen/what the chips say, or off bottle weight/feel/looking inside? The chips are terrible on accuracy as they are basically just a counter.

Because the UCJV330 uses circulation dampers for white, they seem to bleed a lot more than subtanks when idle, especially on circulation cycles. Not sure there's a way around it. Can check your capping station gap. Note that I did my first install on a UCJV330 just this past month, so I don't...

Sometimes just a cap adjustment or pump will do it, and those are the typical steps a tech will try first.

Sounds like a bad head. Had this exact scenario about a month ago on a client machine. Dude wanted to do everything possible to recover it, and gave it a strong shot, but just couldn't recover it. Was the right channel on a dual CMYK setup.

Parameters are machine specific, best bet is to contact a Mimaki tech or dealer to get a copy for your specific machine serial number. They will be factory parameters, so they will be outdated most likely, but better than trying to start with some from another machine. Best practice is to back...

Good tip, didn't see this until now. Will try tomorrow on the JFX200 and the JFX200EX
