So the DX5 and DX7 head Mimaki's all use the exact same capping top (I know for fact that an old JV33 cap I had fit our newer JV150 and was identical). So I'd venture to guess the same spring. The older machines show that spring as part #M800864

I'm assuming you are talking about the wider spring that goes directly under the cap that pushes it upward against the printhead. I just looked on the parts list for my JV150 (basically the same printer but without a cutter) and oddly that one specific spring is not shown in any of the parts...

Click that users name and choose "block"....

Very much based on location and cost of living. I have no idea up there but I'd imagine it would be a LOT more than here in South Carolina.... Then again if they are not doing anything that is actual "Management" and just running a printer and a cutter (not really what I'd call a management...

Agree with notareal on the stomp shear. The other pluses with a shear is you do not lose any material and get really nice clean cuts that are ready to use. Depending on the shear you can cut at least .040 aluminum and 3mm ACM no problem, some will cut thicker. The drawbacks are the wider the cut...

We use a bit of primer around the edges and post heat well and they have held fine for us but yes they are super slick and the initial tack is incredibly low.

Nikkalite R8512C (Fellers) and Oracal 5400 (Grimco) are about the cheapest options for printable reflective. That being said I've never met a real estate agent that was willing to spend double for reflective signs. They rarely even want to spend a "reasonable" amount for non-reflective so they...

Laying down extra ink for backlits is really not the ideal method for that. It makes it look good when lit but when not lit that makes everything overly dark. The solution we use is to do two prints. You can do it two ways - applying both stacked on the face, or if using clear acrylic of...

Use the Design Editor tool pallet (Under the view menu). That is where you can use layers and using the little icons make things editable (locked) or not, visible, etc...

This is what the service manual says for a JV150 (same head and dampers).... It does not mention those plugs so I'd assume if the new dampers do not have them then I'd transfer the old ones to the same spots. Hope you are using genuine OEM dampers.... on our prior machine always had problems...

Yes like DL we also run Mimaki and the resolution and print speed settings are independent but really are tied to the color profile being used so while you can manually choose a different setting Flexi will warn you that it does not match the profile. In Flexi you can override it and try anyways...

Most of the name brand patterns are licensed and you are not going to get licensing to print them unless you are committing to six figures in guaranteed revenue.... So if its a name brand one then you are going to have little choice but to order some already printed from a company licensed to...

None of those are resolutions. For us its mostly vehicle wraps and fleet graphics at 720x720 resolution. Print speed settings - 8 pass BiDi When we do get something that warrants higher quality up close we go to 720x1080 @ 12 pass bidi.

I've run into this before as well... Sometimes I find it easier to just delete and recreate the shadow but that can depend on a number of factors.

Could also possibly have undocumented switches of adding another line to the firmware update tool ini file or launching the firmware update tool using a command line switch to "force" an update. Might be worth poking around in the tool with a text hex editor. Just throwing other thoughts out...

My condolences to his family. Fred was always a super helpful and friendly guy.

Also potential that there is a TTL or regular serial header or pads somewhere on the board. With that you could connect a console. Watch the boot loader startup and see if there is a way to interrupt the boot sequence and if there are any boot loader menus. Might have TFTP functions built in...

If you properly seal the edges it works fine..... We have done many over the past 20 years. I do think the quality of the perf can also be a factor as well. The cheapest ones tend to have the weakest adhesive in my experience.

All the more reason for us to then stay forever on the perpetual license and not upgrade anymore. Heck we upgraded to 21, everything became grainy because they changed the RIP engine and the new one does not support SO Diffusion. So we went back to V12 which was working better for us. It offers...

Can you not just leave the license attached to multiple computers at the same time? That is how the perpetual dongle licenses work and how we use it. The dongle is found over the network but only one computer can have Flexi open. If its open on one computer and another with the same license...
