We printed all in day light. I think the problem am having is something to do with ink starvation. Cos all of a sudden, the head will just be moving from right to left but dont print nothing at all.

What i mean about the half is when am printing 5meter wide banner, i can only print it in two halves and then join them with the heat gun. So i always have a problem where by one half looks darker than the other. Is it normal for me to be doing ink flill up in the middle of printing in order for...

Hi am running a JV3 250sp. Am currently having two problems. One is, when am printing large format banner, one half always looks darker than the other. Another major problem that started to occur from yesterday is that whilst printing, the heads will stop spraying ink half way. When i switch...

Hi Bearwen. My solution was very simple. If you cannot upgrade to Flexi 8.6, just downgrade the operating system on your pc to Windows XP. You will have the same speed and all that your pc has to offer. Thats what i did and the problem was solved. My pc has a 3gig dual core processor and the RAM...

Hi am interested in buying a used Mimaki JV3 750sp or any other printer similar to it. Please contact me on randa_gm@hotmail.com.

Right now am running the printer using XP. I have decided to return the PC and just stick to XP because i have tried all other options and its still not working. I have downloaded the drivers and upgraded the old one. But still, once i go to production manager to add the IEEE port, it does not...

Thanks for that. I will contact them and see. I will also download the driver and see if that works too. But right now am just trying all options.

For some reason the Flexi is now working and ripping as well. I removed it and reinstalled it again and it work. The only problem am having now is with the production manager. When i tried to connect the printer, it does not give you the IEEE port connection on the port selection. Just LPT:1 and...

Well its Windows 7 32bit. My printer is Mimaki JV3 250sp. Do you mean if i upgrade the Windows to 64bit, it should work?

Hi everyone. I have two question to ask. What is the best resolution to use when printing outdoor quality and secondly, what is the best profile to use to make sure that what you see on the computer as soft proof, is what you get from the printer. I am currently using FlexiSign Pro 8.1 rip...

Hi its me again. Just to update you on what i did today. I got a friend of mine who has a Roland and his system is very similar to the JV3 250sp. We took the heads apart and noticed that the blue and yellow where really blocked and dirty. We then cleaned it properly and drained it with cleaning...

Thanks for the advise. I will do all that tomorrow and let you know the outcome. You have been a miracle.Am all the way in Africa and do not have any Mimaki dealer around. So am just going by the Maintainance Manual and advice am getting from people like you.

I changed 5 dampers and replaced them with new ones cos they where kinda blocked.I changed the yellow and blue dampers and one of the black. I have not soaks the heads. I think that is what i will do tomorrow. In regards to the caps, when i poured the solution in them, it quickly goes into the...

I am running double CMYK and the inks are SS2 OEM.The red and black caps had ink in them but the blue and yellow where very dry. I then opened the covers and realised that the inks where not flowing at all in the blue and yellow tubes.I changed the blue and yellow pump with a brand new one. I...
