Yeah, you're right, maybe only because I did it the wrong way. But unless I know exactly how to do it properly, yes, it's stupid idea :(

Yes, I'd like to refill the original mimaki SS21 cartridges... usually it lefts 20 to 40 ml over in each cartridge and I want to, let's say, recycle that residual ink...

He did exactly what you said: disconnected the damper and pulled the ink with a syringe, tapping the damper side until all air was gone. Lost about 10 ml of ink plus some ink in the fill up afterwards. I didn't want to try it myself, beucase I messed up enough things already. But I still wonder...

Thanks a lot jimmmi , I got the tech come and solve it

Yes, seems air in the cyan line ... you think my printhead will damage if I wait about 20 hours to get a new cartridge and fill up ink? Is fill up enough to remove air in the line or it's not that simple?

I've pulled about 20 ml of ink from cyan cartridge and injected to complete the other cyan, with same expiry date. Then as I keep on printing, cyan ink was gradually disappearing and then, I did a test print and boom, no cyan visible! Tried the fill up ink option, but it popped error, low ink...

I have it too, the only way I found to reduce the black over spraying was to reduce density in rasterlink. But my testprint is missing 2 lines, maybe this issue in my case is due to a bad printhead?

Excuse me for using this topic, but it's about "contamination"... I have some contamination in test print (black on yellow), but not in the printing. Often this mixing disappear after the 3rd test print. Captop is new but the tech didn't replace dampers because he said this contamination +...

Yeah, it sucks, I totally understand you. Have you posted it to instagram, Facebook or any social media? I think It's a good idea to do so from now on. It won't ensure your designs won't be copied, but it can help to prove the original idea was yours and show to people that your design was...

What problem happened exactly before this blurry issue? Maybe the head height was modified by accident. If that's the case, move it high and then low or vice versa, set the proper height then adjust DROP.POScorrect and FEED COMP (see detailed instructions on the user manual)

Yes, I totally believe you Boyanski. This other tech who came here said printheads lasts about 5 years, and can last even more when using original and high quality ink like this SS21 I use. That's why I'm writing a report to come back to discuss with you guys here, because there's something...

By failure I mean nozzles starting to disappear, then the entire line. My history is here. Anyway, see the attachment. My machine is not even 2 years old, I bought it brand new and I started having this issues when it was about 18 months old, 5 months after moving. Of course, I'm not sure yet...

Hello there! Please help me: I have a temporary issue and I need somehow to either: 1) stop the chip flagging ink end or 2) stop the software sending ink consumption info or 3) stop the machine sensors receiving ink consumption information (but keep printing) 4) or whatever idea you guys have...

Yes, you can set up negative margins, I'm not sure, but it's limited to -10mm. Refer to the manual (see attachment)

I got this problem some time ago after installing a Windows update. But removing the update, and reinstalling the drivers and rasterlink didn't make it. I cleaned the win registry and reintalled everything and still nothing. What worked for me was to install a clean version of Windows 10 64bits...

Hey Prairie Portable , be careful with washing the lines and printhead to switch inks or when moving... I'm not sure, but this may cause the printhead to start failing a few months after flushing. How old is your printhead? I'm still investigating, but this machine wash for moving may be the...

Hi Boyanski ! Well, the dumpers were full, he pressed it on the side and a lot of ink dropped on the media. He didn't check for air in the lines, but said it was a remote possibility. As you can see in test print, the lines start failing on the edges, then we have the color mixing and it's just...

Hello guys! This month I brought in another Mimaki tech. He changed the captop and seems problem is really the printhead. Nozzles are not clogged, because he pressed the damper before printing a test and a lot of magenta dripped on the media when the carriage moved, but nozzles wouldn't fire at...

Hello there! After a lot of tests, I've found some options to keep working with missing lines. Quality mode and unidirectional is good idea, but it didn't get a good result with my issue. So, now I'll tell you what's worked for me with a whole line missing: Basically you have 2 options...

Hello guys! I finally found the time to update you on my issue. First week this month I brought in another Mimaki tech, with 7 years of experience. He changed the captop, did some tests and is 99% sure my problem is really the printhead. Nozzles are not clogged, because he pressed the damper...
