Most likely a stolen credit card who's original owner will then chargeback and you won't win an appeal. Or they send you a bad check or fake money order. I used to report all the scams we get but they simply don't care. Unless it's 100's of thousands of dollars they don't see it as worth...

Also these machines came with the 2 liter bulk system by default. If you can't use the 2 liters in the expiration time, it's probably a good idea to switch to 440 cartridges.

I'm not 100% sure but it might be that the MP11 inks are a UV ink and the MP31 is, I believe, alcohol based. I'm thinking that difference probably has something to do with it.

You can just flush the system with the cleaning solution as DL Signs signs mentioned. I can't remember what it's called on Roland machines but there should be some sort of discharge and flush function. It empties out the flush afterward so you just have empty lines. It can sit like that for a...

Usually Mimaki gives you 60 days after expiration before it locks you out. If it's not letting you continue then it's probably been longer than 60. You can try to get your hands on some new chips from a 3rd party ink supplier. I've heard of people removing the battery from the main board on...

I had a customer who had a cheap battery backup and as soon as the heaters would turn on, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

There's an interrupt near the lever under the head carriage cover. A little flag has to interrupt it to tell the machine it's in low mode. Most likely the sensor is bad or the flag or sensor got knocked out of place.

That's true for the Ricoh heads but Epson heads like the XP600 don't use a gravity feed system. It's one of those things that sounds like it could be true so it gets repeated a lot. In fact, if you disconnect a damper on an Epson based machine, the ink will defy gravity and recede back to the...

As a self builder I agree with you 100%. However, I've noticed there are a lot of people who, no matter how convincing you can be, want to buy, "Something they know will just work." I guess if the 30% markup is worth it to them, it keeps the retail computer manufacturers in business.

Use Flexi's color mapping function. You basically start with the Pantone you want and it prints out a bunch of swatches that have slightly different CMYK values. You pick the one that looks the closest to the color you want and it will print that Pantone with those CMYK values from now on...

Usually the CR board doesn't cause issues. It's not impossible but very very rare. Usually it's going to be a bad cable or the main board. AS Gino mentioned, it could be static as well but in my experience, the amount of fuzziness you're getting is usually electrical. That being said, I was...

Check your head cables for any damage, ink splatter, or corrosion and change if needed. Unfortunately if it's not the head cables, this issue looks to be electrical to me which would point towards a damaged board. What was the original reason for changing the head?

Good ideas above. If none of that works, you might need to adjust the sensor sensitivity. It's not something that is in the user manual though. It requires a voltmeter as well.

Yeah post a nozzle check but my first impression is ink starvation. Have you changed the dampers recently?

If the sign is in public, you don't have to ask permission to take a picture of it and post it on your site. Now you might have an ethical, moral or business reason to still want to ask permission but legally, taking a picture in public and posting to your site is well within your rights.

That's where I usually print and cut a crosshair. It gives you an idea of how far you need to move it. It will take a few rounds of printing and cutting the crosshair and changing the adjustment to get it spot on.

It's in the mark detect settings. You have to be in cut mode and then just hit Function>Setup>Choose your tool preset>Mark Detect Once you get to Mark Detect, just hit a few times and it will scroll through the Mark Detect settings. 2 of the settings will be X and Y offset and those basically...

Are you using crop marks? If so, have you adjusted the A and B offset in the mark detect settings? If the cut is off by the same amount every time, that's the setting you need to adjust.

Good to hear! Encoders can do weird things sometimes.

Make sure to change the dampers, replace the cap top, and flush the pump lines with cleaning solution while you're in there changing the cap top. The contamination could be coming from any of those items failing. It's still likely the head but it's worth a shot to change out those cheaper parts...
