  1. Need help getting a used Mimaki UCJV300 running again

    If flushing the lines and stuff, can use rubbing alcohol to save the maintenance fluid for head washes. Right station, if using white ink, will take a long time to clean up, if it cleans up completely in general. Can take a texwipe or paper towel and dab up the ink with alcohol on the screen and...
  2. Need Help Color outliers with 150-160 UV

    If you still have your install guide it covers it. It's in service mode under #TEST> Air Pressure Check section
  3. Mimaki UCJV300 "Error 1db" - Need help diagnosing and fixing

    Service mode just unlocks the #TEST, #ADJUST and #PARAMETERS menus, won't say anything special Instead of 2 menu pages, keep scrolling and you'll see those as well.
  4. Mimaki UCJV300 "Error 1db" - Need help diagnosing and fixing

    Func1 and Func 3 when booting up, wait until you hear a beep and let go. Will give you access to #ADJUST menu so you can set time/date. If a chip is flagged as expired, this will NOT clear that state.
  5. Mimaki UCJV300 "Error 1db" - Need help diagnosing and fixing

    Ancient firmware, 3.4 is current.
  6. Need Help Color outliers with 150-160 UV

    Also, could be head height or maybe vacuum force on the platen is too low.
  7. GraphixCalc Sign Estimator

    Looking at solutions, I am good at tech stuff, getting equipment and supplies and doing stuff. Pricing is black magic and voodoo.
  8. GraphixCalc Sign Estimator

    Alrighty, looking for a good estimator software, but we also want something that can run in a restrictive secure environment. Appreciate the response.
  9. GraphixCalc Sign Estimator

    Grabbed the trial and seems to need some older libraries that have been depreciated. Any plans to make a standalone version that doesn't need Access 2010 libraries...
  10. Mimaki UCJV300 "Error 1db" - Need help diagnosing and fixing

    In most instances, Chinese sellers and eBay seem to be higher than ordering parts through a dealer. Can try hitting up AmCad in Dallas, they tend to be pretty reasonable and parts will arrive quicker (and also tend to be current versions, as AliExpress ones might be obsolete versions).
  11. Need help getting a used Mimaki UCJV300 running again

    Ahh, as for manually rotating the pumps, you can do it, not going to harm anything. Just beware of pinch points. Just the image showed on my phone.
  12. Need help getting a used Mimaki UCJV300 running again

    Nope, this latch here holds the head.
  13. Cheap vinyl cutter that's better than this Roland?

    I picked up a Laserpoint 3 from US Cutter to use for a few small projects. Worked ok but lacked a lot of features. But it had mark registration reading and it works great on holographic media, was easy to setup and came with workable software. If you want something that'll last you, pick up a...
  14. Mimaki UCJV300 "Error 1db" - Need help diagnosing and fixing

    Second switch/power socket is usually not connected, as it's just a generic one for bed heaters on the solvent printer variants. On later models it is blocked off.
  15. Mimaki UCJV300 "Error 1db" - Need help diagnosing and fixing

    Check your 5V power supply as well.
  16. Mimaki UCJV300 "Error 1db" - Need help diagnosing and fixing

    No lights means no power. Will changing the boards change that? Maybe. We don't know where power is dropping. Power can be lost at the board early on, or it can be an issue of what is supplying the power to it in the first place. Without being there to trace out power, no amount of guess-work...
  17. UJF 7151 plus thread.

    Service manual sent. Most modern heads have firing data programmed in the heads themselves for the controller to retrieve. If it's an old Epson DX4/5/7 and similar, then you have to input that stuff manually. Or, in some cases, Mimaki slaps a little chip on them that has the firing data.
  18. PLEASE HELP SYSTEM HALT (1) 1e4: PCB STA4-1

    If you keep things on one thread instead of reviving and creating new ones it makes issue tracking much easier. That said, I'm done for now.
  19. Mimaki UCJV300 "Error 1db" - Need help diagnosing and fixing

    The connector diagrams offer some help in seeing what connects to what. 3 boards down hints at power not going through. Section 2.1's block diagram is a bit convoluted, but it shows what connects to what. 2.1.2 shows most of the fuses as well as the family of codes that can trip because of blown...
  20. Mimaki JFX500 Restoration/Rebuild, A Saga of Epic Triumph & Stupidity

    After acquiring a JFX200-2513 for a stellar $2500, I got a taste for the big flatbeds. Minor strike damage on the heads, but a quick and easy restoration that was printing within a day. Such glorious times. Sheets of plywood, drywall, framed canvas, coroplast, all sorts of big things to print...
