If you could have a lookie and help me please? Thanks SC

Well as the week goes on more and more of the nozzles are working. So my continued cleaning is working. Now for my next question is about head alignment (as this machine has 3!)? When doing a test the print is very blurred, I guess this is a lot to do with the alignment of the heads. Is their a...

I am currently re-instating an old Mimaki JV3 in our workshop. I will be using my Laptop to get it up and printing again and require a RIP programme to run the JV3. Is their any free RIPs I can use just to get it doing some test prints from a computer? Cheers SC

Last year we got a JV3-160S as a back up to our other machines. When it arrived it had blocked heads, blocked pumps, etc. etc. and had lain inactive a lot longer than the seller had made out. I decided I was going to have a play with this machine and get it into some sort of state so as to get a...

Hi all I hope someone can clear this up. My RIP computer has died and I am having to quickly buy a new one from a supplier today and have up and running tonight. The issue is all the latest PCs have Windows 8 / 8.1 installed. Is Wasatch 6.2 compatible with this Operating System or will I face...

It has been a while since I updated the computers and the amount of moaning I am getting from staff I can't stand it no more!!!! Help! We are running Signlab 9.1, Corel, Adobe, Etc. Obviously budget is an issue as I am buying three units. I just need a rough spec. as I will either buy something...

Can Anyone ID this please? Thanks SC

I am getting a E074 Err CR2 Current every other morning when I come in to my VJ 1604. The machine is put in standby mode every night before I go home and runs faultless during the day. If I turn off the machine and turn back on the error has gone. Should I clean the encoder strip with some...

We have for a very long time used Signlab to design in and then saved as a level3 EPS to print from Wasatch. This has worked well and the colours are exactly right printing from wasatch rather than signlab. The issue if I save a EPS then do some changes and save again both the original design...

I have a new Y drive belt and a return pulley to fit to my SC1400D as the old ones are very worn. I have put this job of for ages but plots are deteriorating and this needs replaced now. I have the parts but I have no info on how to fit these parts. Can anyone help with this? Thank You SC

I thought I had this one but it turns out I don't. As per normal it looks so familiar but I don't have it. Designers always try to find the most hidden and obscure fonts!!! SC

I have a customer with a pickup truck from the 60s/70s and we are trying to make his logo look kind of traditional signwritten. Can anyone help as I am really struggling on this one? Have a look at my atempt!! The vehicle is a cream colour and the colour requirements are Burgundy, Red, Gold and...

Last Friday I fitted a new New Maintenance Station but this week I have had serious problems of the machine losing random nozzles. I had the print head replaced a couple of months ago and was told by the Tec to get a New Maintenance Station just to keep everything fresh. Just seems weird that...

I realise this may be a very stupid question. I am on with replacing my Maintenance station (complete with pump assembly) on my VJ1604. Do I have to power the machine down and discharge as I will have to disconnect the pump motor? Or can this be done whilst the machine is still on? Thanks SC

We have a Mutoh SC 1400D plotter. When contour cutting small labels you can see that it is out by 0.5-1mm on the contour cut. In the manual you can do three tests an automatic a manual and a EPOS alignment test plot. Now when doing the automatic and manual test everything is OK but when doing...

After disconnecting the lines on the pump on my JV3-160S I have got confused to as what lines go where! I understand one of the pumps is not used on this machine as it only has 3 heads. Does anyone have a drawing or a schematic as to where the lines go to? Cheers SC

Is their anyone or anywhere selling standard chips for the JV3. I do not want to upgrade to everlasting ones until I get the machine up and running. Thanks SC

I am looking for some dx4 print heads for my JV3-160s which I am trying to get up and running. The machine has been left unused for a lot longer than the seller said and the heads are blocked solid (not even one nozzle out of the 6 channels fire!) also after loads of cleaning they will not work...
