The machine is a JV3-160S. I am not near the printer at present so no pictures at the moment. I have had them through my ultrasonic cleaner once and I am leaving them soaking in cleaning solution every night in the machine. During the last couple of days I will say that on test printing in the...

You are not going to be able to show potential customers of what it will look like in metallic unless you physically print a sample. Or maybe print some example prints in your shop, as printing samples of customers work can waste a lot of productive time on your machine. 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...

Well the answer is:- YES MY PRINTER HAS GOT BETTER!!! After a bit of fiddling and cleaning some old heads. I have at last a test print of my computer. Yes I still have a lot of work cleaning heads as I have about only 70% firing but at least I now know it works. Well pleased with myself. 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

Over the last year and a half we have had a competitor move in our area and under cut all our work to the point were their prices were cheaper than what I could buy the materials! I have stuck to my prices and lost quiet a few so called "loyal customers" who have been given a lot of freebies and...

Your never gonna win cheapness always wins. Most of the time the ones doing the cheap crappy wraps will have no come backs as the customer thinks "it was cheap anyway"!! If you sat your customer down in front of their vehicle whilst you wrapped it, they would understand the costs of a quality...

OK then has anyone got three old DX4 heads which kind of work that they could ship to the UK Cheap please?

Can someone help please?

I need some help on this one please? Do I buy new heads and inks or sell as spares? Thanks

OH NO.... ... Did I pay too much?!!!

I can change the heads myself not a problem. Just the cost of new heads is scary especially if their is other faults and this is just a glitch. I don't understand "What do you have into it now?"

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...

That van isn't too bad to letter. We don't get that vehicle in the UK but it doesn't look as bad as some. Try lettering the New Ford Transit Custom!!!! I have never come across a van that was so awful to put two straight lines on. What was Ford thinking? It is as if the only way to sign the...

The windscreens (windshields) are really curved on these cars and they are a pain to template. This will have to be cut specially using the actual car as a template. Either that or you are going to have to get the customer to do some really precise measurements. I have done a few but I can't...

My answer to this is "Move on". Over the years I have made exactly the same mistake countless times and it hurts a lot. Only consollation is that some times the client realises that cheapest is not always the best (or sometimes even cheapest). Take the the job sheet and file it away carefully...

Bit of information for all Wasatch users. Here's Wasatchs answer:- "Hi SC Thank you for your enquiry. You can run Wasatch with Windows 8 but your version is very old and you will need to upgrade. Please supply the serial number and I will advise the cost. " My question is if it runs on...

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...

Our standard mutoh print head ran on our VJ1604 for about 5 years. I don't know whether it was the head or the head cable that failed but both were replaced. The biggest issue is that when either of these items fails it can blow the F2 fuse but if that is not fast it can fry the motherboard (I...
