Our company primarily does screen printing, but we purchased a Mimaki a year or so ago for some decal and banner work. We are using Raster Link Pro 2 and are converting files to EPS prior to putting them into Raster Link. We have a small list of profiles in our software, but using a 720x720, 4...

In addition to some digital printing, our company also does screen printing on vinyl and polystyrene. At the current time we use Nazdar 9700 series solvent inks, but the toxic fumes are probably shaving years off of our lives, not to mention the hassle of drying racks. I have been wanting to...

That makes a lot of sense and I will probably do it on both days just to be on the safe side. I'm not sure how I survived before I found this forum. Thanks again!

Wow - that is an impressive routine! I guess with the remaining time you have each day after doing that you dedicate 30 minutes to actually printing?! Given the repair costs on these machines, it sounds like a good example of the old "ounce of prevention" adage. After reading your cleaning...

Forgot the part about "sleep clean". I don't know what the settings are or how to check, but it comes on and cycles every hour or two. The guy I bought it from told me how he had it set and I promptly forgot what he said. In any case, after several months, it hasn't failed to fire up Monday...

disway dismay Thanks for the reply. "Why do a nozzle wash?" Good question - I don't know - I am new to digital printing. I guess, from your answer, that a nozzle wash is only needed if they are clogged, so that answers one of my questions. The Mimaki cleaning manual is, like many English...

We are primarily a screen printing shop, but we purchased a used JV3-160SP several months ago. Aside from an occasional banding issue, it has been working great. My question is, what is the recommended procedure for cleaning - weekly, monthly, etc.? Every week, I slide the cartridge out and...

I recently purchased a Mimaki JV3-160SP and, after some help from you guys, located a copy of Raster Link Pro II. I am CLOSE to getting this thing up and running, but I am hitting a snag. I can RIP the job, then when I PRINT it, the software says "Loading & Printing". While it says that, the...

Thanks for your input. I think I am going to try to find someone who got Raster Link Pro 2 but has upgraded to Onyx or other RIP software. I am going to post a new thread looking for Raster Link Pro 2.

I just bought a 5 - 6 year old Mimaki JV3-160SP that came with RasterLink Pro software. The software is no longer supported by Mimaki, so I'm looking for the most reasonable software solution to get this thing up and running. Most of the stuff we do is industrial and I don't need FlexiSign or...
