Digiprint heads are factory typically, had good luck with them. That said, Mimaki, like quite a few printer manufacturers, doesn't make their own heads. Usually Seiko Epson, Toshiba Tec, Ricoh, etc. Remanufactured heads can be problematic however, common with the DX4/5/7 to be rebuilt with new...

Best use of Onyx/Flexi is to send data to Rasterlink anyways, defeating the point. Then again, I use Vinylmaster for the cut. White/clear/primer plates are easy to make for testing as well.

Little button cell battery, might need a paperclip or a pick to retract the tab.

A bit of thread necromancy here, but found a surprisingly good workaround. Printing with UV inks and one roll didn't work and another slightly thinner roll worked great. Kapton tape, just slap it over the square mark and go. Tried the little yellow filter thing, but didn't feel like removing the...

Since you also posted in another thread, I will repost it here as well for those who use search. To change the date, disconnect the power, open the panel where the USB/LAN connects, look for the main board and remove it's clock battery for a few minutes and reassemble. Should roll clock/date...

To change the date, disconnect the power, open the panel where the USB/LAN connects, look for the main board and remove it's clock battery for a few minutes and reassemble. Should roll clock/date back to firmware default.

Are you using RasterLink? I've tried Onyx and Flexi, and it's TOTAL GARBAGE with these printers, never got white to work other than on seemingly random prints.

My experience with overcurrent errors tend to be when the head bumps into something or gets jammed. The drive motor will pull more power when stuck, and thus the error trips. Usually clears up on reset. Common when people leave something in the way of the head carriage or forget to remove...

White ink is pretty high maintenance on the 6042/3042 (MKI and MKII), even with the circulation system. The MK1 in my limited experience tends to stop printing if too much air gets into the head and you need to do the air bleed procedure with the special tool (or just heat up and bend a plastic...

Check your capping station gap, moving a printer can cause all sorts of weirdness and it isn't at all uncommon to have to redo adjustments afterwards.

Only tested Bordeaux and Mimaki so far, Bordeaux MK170 was $99/liter last time I got it from ieion , looks like LexJet stocks Marabu for $117.12/liter. I get Mimaki LUS-170 for $143.50. Not much savings there, but maybe if the ink had some distinct advantages. My experience with UV inks is most...

Yeah, at that weight, might be better suited to small boxes under 2-3" cubed before it gets kind of floppy. That said, I like Sihl media, use it when people want crazy high detail/color stickers and I use an Epson 9900. Water based inks and sticker media, a rare combination. Expensive, but looks...

I do this with low tack masking tape and wrap the electrical connection ends in some paper to keep them from snagging and getting damaged. Fish the new cable in with the old. Works well with ink lines too, just use a male/male barb fitting for those. Saved me HOURS of work.

Looks great, what kind of cardstock are you using and is it roll or sheet form? Been looking for a good cardstock roll paper for my UCJV300 and looks like you got that down.

Sometimes the rubber seals in the solenoid valves swell and don't flow ink well. Instead of using your hands, have someone turn the valve on in the #Test menu with the line disconnected and a container to catch the ink held below the valve. Not going to spray out or anything, but it should drip...

Check messages.

Check above the printhead where the clear vacuum lines run, if you have a bad subtank and ink has somehow made it into those lines, the valve assembly night need replacement.

Located in OKC, if you get another one, would love to check it out. Happen to have a UCJV330 yet? Been eyeballing those since release announcement.

Been using boatloads of CH010A HP White Satin Poster paper, with zero issues. Then again, I am a maniac and am printing on a UCJV300 UV printer. No heater tends to help when it comes to things that like to warp.

Mimaki OPT-C0243 Creasing tool It's a glorified nail embedded inside clear plastic, about $90 list.
