  1. Magenta looks like Pepto

    I have the 4 color JV33-130 Printer. Black, Cyan and Yellow are fine. My magenta is all kinds of messed up. I have done 2 head soaks, countless nozzle washes and a Discharge. I don't know what else to do. Any advise? I tried to attach a photo but it wont load for some reason. It just look slike...
  2. Jv33-130 problem with a cover

    I just fixed it. I decided to take the covers off the 2 sensors. I found a metal piece loose in BOTH sensors. I calle dtech support and they emailed a part diagram and go tthem back on correctly. I guess the air from the fan cleaning blew them out of place.. Ill have to turn it down a little...
  3. Jv33-130 problem with a cover

    I took my heater deck off this morning to clean my fans. When I got everything back together, I started it up and I got a "close a cover" Thinking that there was only 2 cover sensors I started playing with them. I juggled and moved them trying to get it to read. Nothing. I started looking on...
  4. Mimaki cg-160 cut is off. Pic on post. Thx.

    It can be set up to read the lower right or the bottom 2 and maybe 3? IDK It can all be just be setup differently. I put mine on TP1 after my 400mm adjustment and if im not cutting a print job I just hit enter and its ready to roll the material.
  5. Mimaki cg-160 cut is off. Pic on post. Thx.

    If your media is being cut off the printer strait, loaded strait and all 4 registration marks are being read, I would say you might wanna try the 400mm square adjustment. It is in my mimaki book on page 3.17 - 3.22. If that doesn't help try the adjustments on page 3.36 - 3.49 (I think).. It...
  6. Looking for a vinyl with the clarity of tint

    I would use 3M 7725 series transparent EC film.
  7. Trying to cut out stencils with a my plotter. Please help

    I use the back of elecra cut film. I separate the vinyl from the backing, spray it with adhesive and rub it out on a thick laminated wall calendar(so it does not cut in the strips), up my pressure and its done.
  8. New to mimaki/rasterlink5 and need help with profiles

    That's a lot of profiles lol. I have like 4 I don't really understand by "makes no sense" You obviously want a profile to match your material, high resolution and make sure the "other conditions" fit your criteria for the material. The maker really doesn't matter in my experience.
  9. Best way to dry ink on vinyl fast?

    Mosh, I was always told to let printed material dry for 10 - 12 hours for a "curing" process. Maybe its just Mimaki ink? Like, if it don't cure good enough, it will be peeling off its substrate after a month or 2..

  12. Severe ink blur on HALF magenta on Test Draw?

    Have you tried it on some other material? Looks smeared to me(like the sheeting has got a wave).. IDK I have never seen that..
  13. Problems with PANTONE?

    I wish I could hug you! lol This has really blown my mind. Everything you said happened! He originally sent in an EPS file from the original. He thought I had changed the first sample! lol (Yes, I have sent 2) I reckon I am going to find a new book and see if I can upgrade my COREL PANTONE...

  16. HP L260 grainy print, maybe..?

    I never got a "grain" look from my directional being off. It made a blur, I guess? I ordered some cheap ORACAL sheeting(non reflective) and it printed grainy as heck. I put in another series, and it was fine. 2 feet away, it looked perfect. Up close it was grainy.

  20. Problems with PANTONE?

    It was the coated series. This book is old, and I did mention they could fade, but they are matching my printouts.. The book I am using is actually a formula guide. (We used to only screen print up until a few months ago). But like I said, they match.. I just made him my own PANTONE chart...
