  1. UCJV330 - White ink waste

    Just had a thought yesterday when I was doing some maintenance. Have you checked the cleaning cycles settings on your machine? Could just be that it's cleaning and wasting the white possibly....?
  2. Light banding on solids - UCJV330

    Thanks I've gotten it figured out. My tech said solids can be tricky. I got it worked out though, I printed colors patterns up both sides of the sheet and had to increase the vacuum to max and haven't had any of the banding since. *crosses fingers*
  3. UCJV330 - White ink waste

    Use can either use maintenance fluid or a little bit of ink to lube the o-rings on the caps. I've found a little ink works best since the maintenance fluid dries up.
  4. Light banding on solids - UCJV330

    From what my tech said is that solids are challenging at this rate it's going to take 21hrs of printing for this job.
  5. Light banding on solids - UCJV330

    I'm getting some light banding in this background I'm printing. I saw it on another print that had an orange solid area. Seems to be with certain colors cause I didn't see it in some lighter blue prints I did a coupe weeks ago. I've checked my feed comp and adjusted it and my drop position...
  6. The annual question...how was business this year?

    One person shop here. My business was pretty much flat this year with a slow start to the year and a busier November helped. Bought a new Mimaki UV machine this year but I need to work on marketing and advertising this winter, which I'm terrible at, but I have to do it if I want to remain open.
  7. News Mimaki Ink Price Increase

    Another ink price increase for Mimaki inks now. 6% up. They also are changing some of their shipping from their warehouses, if you get something drop shipped from them it'll be $150 if the order in under $2600. Apparently they are getting tooo many drop ships from their warehouses and it's...
  8. Print and cut layouts (Mimaki printer to Graphtec cutter)

    Still looking for a layout solution. I've been setting up a sheet of 56 stickers to print and cut and it takes about 30-40mins just to setup the layout. Every time I go to step anything out it takes 5-10mins for it to process. This is very unproductive and I can't see anyone doing this daily. I...
  9. UCJV330 Profiles

    I looked through my machine setting and there is nothing for inks except white and clear for MAPS which doesn't have anything to do with what you're trying to get. I don't remember my tech doing anything special for ink coverage, just the regular print alignments. Is it that you are trying to...
  10. UCJV330 Profiles

    What color matching setting are you using in your quality tab? Maybe that will help. I tend to use Deep Color Natural for most of my prints.
  11. UCJV330 Profiles

    Good luck. Right now it just seems Onlyx only has a test driver available for the UCJV330. I'm in the same boat and wanted to use Onyx with my UCJV330 but there are no profiles available as of yet. Unless you make your own media profiles, you will probably be stuck using Rasterlink for now...
  12. UCJV330 Gloss Curing

    How do you run a no print pass? I know on flatbeds it's an option but the roll machines don't have that feature although I wish they would put something like that in an update.
  13. UCJV330 Gloss Curing

    I haven't had any complaints. I use 45/45% on single layers. If I do a slightly raised print with it I use 40/40% on 2 layers.. It was also due to the media backing paper as well I think. Since I started using Substance matte vinyl I have not had any sticking issues.
  14. Substance Chrome and the new HP Latex machines, any updates on how to get it not to stick to the rear plenum

    I had some success using this when I was running my Summa for cutting some metallics.
  15. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    One thing I did notice about pull back printing is that the gloss doesn't lay down the same was as doing gloss in a single pass. I did these tops with a build of color/white and then pull back to add gloss, the difference is noticeable and I'm not sure if it's due to the elevated print or...
  16. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    I don't mind keeping the door on because the new models have a light inside. I actually got a pullback to work perfectly today....has never happened. Maybe just cause I'm using a different material than I normally have, but either way I'm happy to have it work without any issues. (for now) (I...
  17. UCJV330 Pull Back Printing (Multi Layer printing)

    I paused and flipped them and it cancelled my job. haha...I still have my cover on my machine so I'll have to take off the safety switches so I can try that. I'd utilize this more if it was easier to do, but I just don't seem to have much luck with pullback prints on my machine for some reason I...
  18. Onyx 24 issue BEWARE!

    Thanks for letting me know about this! I had just looked up supported printers on the website and it wasn't listed. I'll have to check it out!
  19. Onyx 24 issue BEWARE!

    Good to know that some of those cutting issues are now resolved. I'm still going to wait, hoping there will be an update to support the UCJV330 like they had told me when I went to buy 22.5, guess integrating that machine didn't go as planned.
  20. Sticker Mule needed a permit

    Seems like their trying to just draw people in by being outrageous, I don't think there's any need to drop exploitatives into social media posts. Next they'll be sponsoring TikTok or IRL streamers to promote them.
