  1. Latex vs. Resin Printing for Wraps

    Latex and Resin inks are essentially the same thing. Latex inks don't actually have latex rubber in them like a lot of people think. Latex in the context of HP ink refers to a solution of polymers in water. They mix polymers and color pigments in water and you've got HP latex ink. Resin is a...
  2. Can I install an s80600 main board myself.

    It's not a knock on you. If you can find it post it! Like I said, I think everyone should have access to these files it's just sketchy to charge for them.
  3. Can I install an s80600 main board myself.

    I'm all for DIY repairs and resources so more power to anyone who can get their hands on these tools. However, I can't help but have distain for someone who sells something that isn't theirs and they got for free. I have access to all of the Epson tools and manuals but part of the agreement we...
  4. roland UI-1000F vs Mimaki 600

    I'd look for a printer that has the same print speeds with the fewest heads possible. Did you not like the Vanguard printers? The only reason I bring it up is because the JFX600 has 12 very expensive heads and if you don't take care of the meticulously, they will fail on you. I believe the...
  5. UCJV 150 black lines on prints

    You don't have the "Air PG" item in the maintenance menu? You have to go through the main menu and then the maintenance menu. It won't be in the quick maintenance menu.
  6. SP540V not printing 1 color

    Exactly.
  7. SP540V not printing 1 color

    Now that we know it's not an ink flow issue, it's probably an electrical one. If you do a cable swap it will tell you if it's the head or the main board. Basically do what you did with the dampers to the head cables. Make sure to turn the machine off, unplug it and wait 15 minutes to avoid...
  8. Change file from cmyk to rgb

    At the end of the day designing in RGB to hit better colors is really a band aid on a bigger issue. If you properly color profile your printer on your media and calibrate your monitor, you can design in CMYK and get the full gamut your printer is capable of without having to guess with RGB.
  9. SP540V not printing 1 color

    My guess is there is more damage to the main board than has been discovered. When transistors pop on that board it means the power surge was big enough to cause damage before the fuse popped. That would mean it was a fairly big surge and probably caused a good amount of damage. You could do a...
  10. Mimaki JV300-160 techs are stumped

    It looks like you're getting a good amount of cross contamination in almost every channel. That would point towards a bad cap top or poor drainage in the maintenance system. I would pop the cap tops off and flush cleaning solution through the pump to make sure it's not fully or partially...
  11. UCJV 150 black lines on prints

    Do an air purge. Too much air in the system will cause cross contamination like this.
  12. CJV 150-75 New head not printing cyan

    I would try seeing if you can flush the cyan channels gently to see if it's possible they clogged during the fill up but otherwise give us a call and we can help troubleshoot further. We are here 9 to 5. Thanks!
  13. CJV 150-75 New head not printing cyan

    Unfortunately the fact that you were able to pull ink in to the other channels means the maintenance station is working and the fact that cyan will print properly in a different channel rules out ink flow above the head as well. That leaves electrical issues and in my experience those tend to...
  14. mimaki cjv 150 cyan yellow overlapping

    It's possible the cams that hold the head down are loose which would allow the head to slowly move out of alignment. I can't think of any other way that pattern would happen other than that as long as the bi-directional alignments are in line.
  15. CJV 150-75 New head not printing cyan

    The fact that it prints fine in the black spot but black can't print in the cyan spot is pointing towards head damage unfortunately. It means those channels are damaged in some way.
  16. Solution to chargeback on credit card

    Just had a fraudulent transaction last week. Someone used a stolen credit card and we noticed the signs so we didn't send the product. The actual card holder called today wondering why we charged his card. We of course gave him the refund, avoided a chargeback, and we aren't out the money...
  17. CJV 150-75 New head not printing cyan

    You changed all of the ink lines but did you change all of the o-rings at the connections?
  18. Question Do Mutoh MP11 inks freeze?

    I don't know about that ink specifically but in my experience they generally want the room to be a certain temperature during operation but when not being used it doesn't matter as long as you bring it up to room temp before using it again.
  19. mimaki cjv 150 cyan yellow overlapping

    Did you run your drop position correction alignment? Looks like the bi-directional alignment is off. If you're printing uni-directional, it's more likely a physical alignment that's off. Did you just change the head?
  20. Computer type

    Yup
