The most straight forward way to connect is going to be a direct ethernet cable from the computer to the printer so I would try that first. The IP address should be different than the WiFi connection though which is probably why it didn't work when you plugged the cable in. Follow the...

I usually see this when the heat is too low, the profile is laying down too much ink, and/or when the ink is old. If you did a bunch of cleanings and it got better, my guess is the ink needs to be agitated a bit. Rock the cartridge back and forth a few times.

A Mutoh ValueJet 628 is basically an Epson desktop vinyl printer but it's expensive for just a sample unit. They do make water based ink receptive vinyl so you could get a regular Epson desktop and use that. It's usually a lot more expensive though.

Looks like drop out to me. Usually that's going to be a bad damper or bad connection between the damper and ink line. Check the ink lines for air bubbles as they are a sign there is a bad connection. Sometimes you won't see air bubbles but there's still a bad connection though.

Make sure your pinch rollers are in the proper positions. They can drift over time and not be on the girt part of the grit roller. If you look at the rail the pinch roller slide on, there are 2 triangle. Make sure the pinch roller is between those triangles or you will get feed, skew, and vinyl...

Usually that's going to be a damaged main board. You can try to trouble shoot it by unplugging the head cables and then try to power on. If it still doesn't power on, unplug the trailing cables that go from the slider board to the main board and try to power on. If it still won't turn on, it's...

Mimaki usually develops the printer in Japan and once they figure out all the kinks, they move production to China. You can have two identical Mimaki printers in your shop and one could be from China and the other from Japan.

My guess is they just printed whatever file was given to them and whatever color came out became the, "right" color to the bank and the bank's designer. Then they just expected that everyone would simply print that pantone the same.

Glad to help!

I installed an EX with LUS120 the other day and the white looked super bright. We were printing on a black piece of vinyl though so that might just be an illusion. Just a note that may help, they recommend setting your lamp position to 65mm when printing only one layer of white. You can adjust...

I try not to contradict other techs if I don't have to but in this case, I've installed countless CJV150s and I do not see this as a common issue. Once in a while one cartridge might not empty but for all of them to do it regularly, it's almost always caused by an underlying issue like a failing...

I must have gotten my info from a bad source! Whoops!

Thanks for the shout out! I do see a single channel go out on some machines where it's not the head sometimes but you're right that it is more rare. Usually it's on these dual channel damper machine where there might be a bad seal on on but not the other and it causes flow issues.

Looks like the official spec says it's only screen printable which is probably why no one has made a profile for it. I'd go with what ikarasu said. His suggestions are all reflective from other bands.

Usually a single missing channel will be a bad damper but it could mean the head is damaged as well. A good way to determine which one it is is to simply swap the damper positions, run a cleaning, and print a nozzle check. If another color can print through that channel, the issue is most likely...

You should be able to cut that vinyl and laminate combo just fine. I'd take a look at your blade instead. If the tip is broken off, get a new one. Also, use a higher angle blade and it will cut and weed better.

I can get you virtually any Mutoh parts. Unfortunately their FTP site is down right now so I can't find a part number for the motor quite yet. Feel free to contact us and we can look into it further. support@solventinkjet.com

This is a good idea for the 600mL bags but not the 440mL cartridges unfortunately. The 440 cartridges don't use the weight system.

It's in the setup menu and they call it Feed Comp. You might also adjust the pinch rollers to push down harder especially if they are all set to low right now. I usually set them to medium all the way across.

Mimaki doesn't post print length accuracy specs anymore but their older models in general would spec +/- 1/8" over 8 feet. If you're printing longer than that, it can be off by more. So just keep in mind if you're printing long jobs that there is an expect amount of inaccuracy. Other than...
