  1. Ink Density

    depending on what RIP software you are using, it's typically called "ink layers" The white that the installers are seeing is because they are stretching around corners and forcing the graphics into place. I'm not sure if the graphics aren't allowing enough play in order to make the tight turns...
  2. QS 2000 Belt

    make sure you lay the belt on it's side, the ends will get warped otherwise making it impossible to work with.
  3. new rastek tf1000 having problems.... any help would be great

    one tihng I'd look at is the negative pressure on your white. Check the monometer and most likely adjust it ( increase it a touch) negative pressure with a UV system is tempermental ( and it will be with all models) and can sometimes be affected by a huge shift in air pressure. If your JetID...
  4. Looking for a Flatbed or Hybrid UV - Quality over Speed

    If you already have a QS, why not look into the GS3200, I'm almost positive it does 4pt txt, but if not 4 then 6, and does it well, has white ink, you know the materials that it sticks to, fiery, and all the associated things, so there's not going to be a learning curve for anything else, print...
  5. JV3-130SPII ink probelm

    check how you generate a black, I'd recommend using a 4c black @ 30/30/30/100
  6. Mimaki JV5 vertical banding

    I've seen this on a couple different machine types, from mimakis to HPs, the cause varies, from slider boards, to crap on the rails and bearings., make sure everything is clean and lubed.
  7. Tech in NYC?

    I know techs in NYC call me
  8. Broke jv3 manifold

    don't get the electronics wet with anything. you can remove the manifold from any old head, just clean it well. When you remove the manifold there's a rubber gasket underneath, you'll need it as well, or you can reuse the one on the head. The manifold is only held in place by 2 screws, but in...
  9. What are these marks?

    these DO look like roller marks, I'd recommend cleaning your rollers with alcohol, or chorca's print they look like an encoder issue tho. Clean the encoder strip AND the reader with alcohol, if the problem persists look for ink droplets on the encoder, if there isn't one, then it's probably time...

    Wow, sorry for the delay, I've been absent from the boards for quite a while now. I no longer...

    Wow, sorry for the delay, I've been absent from the boards for quite a while now. I no longer work on Mimaki's. I currently work for EFI/vutek. If you need a service tech, contact Romy here on the boards, she will hook you up with a local tech. again, I apologize for the very untimely response.
  11. jv3-250SP "Set a cartridge KKMMCCYY"

    PM me, and while I don't suggest an end user ever try messing with their parameters, I will try to help.
  12. Mimaki jv3 160sp Ink chips trouble

    that set cartridge error that you are seeing I'm willing to bet comes from doing a head wash. You are being instructed to insert cleaning cartridges to complete the cycle. After that is done, you will be instructed to insert ink carts. From my experience that's what you are looking at. John...
  13. Mimaki jv3 160s Media Trouble

    on many older jv3's the black sensor strip on the front has either been cut to pieces or is missing, or very dirty, which can lead to media detection issues. If the black strip is missing, try cutting a thin strip of black vinyl and putting it in there to give the sensor something to register...
  14. A question for the JV5 and JV33 experts

    I just went through the service manual and didn't see anything regarding head voltage. Since this is something normally input during installation, I doubt the voltage changes by ink type.
  15. Cutting Master Compatibity

    Make sure you have the newest version of CM2, I run it off my laptop when I work on client's equipment, and hands down it's one of the best cutting softwares out there. a little more information would be helpful, I doubt it's a w7 compatibility issue, more likely an x5 issue, but even still...
  16. How to Brighten up Perf Print??

    in flexi it's always been called ink passes, it's a pull down box (should be in the printer tab of production manager, but I'm at home and don't have flexi in front of me)
  17. Trying to Print Magnets on HP9000

    you mean, had a beer, printed a file, had a beer, stuck it on, had a beer, went to the bathroom, had a beer and trimmed it out, don't you?
  18. Gradient and profiling issues.

    typically in Flexi, when you are having color shifts in a gradient, it is most often caused by someone selecting colors in both the RGB and CMYK spectrum, which will give you all sorts of interesting colors. Try pulling apart the gradient and reproducing it yourself, making sure you have a...
  19. Ink cartridge issue on JV-5

    ink chips universally have been crap lately. It isn't uncommon for the chip to be incorrect to what is physically available in the cartridge. It is more common in after market ink, then in OEM, but it can happen in OEM as well. You can purchase after market chips at a couple different sign...
  20. media compensation

    when the machine is in remote mode, hit function and change to 0 hit enter, it's back to baseline.
