  1. Mimaki JV3 leaking ink

    My thought is the pump since it went to the waste container. The pump should not allow ink to pass when sitting.
  2. Any tips printing on Mesh Banner with no liner?

    Agree with Andy. In fact I'm not aware of any wide format printer made to print on mesh without a liner. I've only seen grand format machines that can do that. Could be something out there though but if there is its not one I've run across.
  3. how can I reprint only part of a nest job?

    You should be able to very easily do this in the tiling tab by dragging a tile line up to where you want it to start then double click the first half and it will xxxxxxx over them it meaning that section will not print. We do this sometimes if we have some issue that requires us to reprint part...
  4. 3M "Micro Comply" vinyl?

    They have been playing with the adhesive formulations.... Fine some pieces of 180CV3 you have that are known to be from different times like some older decals and scraps, etc. Compare the adhesives and you will quickly notice that the shades of grey vary dramatically. I'd also agree that the...
  5. Free Stuff For Y'all

    All of this comes in handy. Thanks! I'll pitch in too. Couple of different size Knapheide KUV service bodies at quarter scale. Because these come in so many different configurations and sizes you should of course verify the dimensions and stick the chassis front you need on them. I've had these...
  6. Avery Failures Return

    What ??????? And how does one protect the print then?
  7. CJV3-0130 - Washing Solution Needle Assembly replacement - Tech who has part No.s?

    Attached.... :smile: looks like you need at least parts 4 and 17 might also need some of the other bits like 15 as well. With the attached you should be able to fully remove what you have and inspect to determine exactly which bits you need for sure.
  8. anyone have casmate for sale?

    I don't have any discs for it but I actually have a parallel Casmate Pro Sign dongle. I've had Bobby Fosson from CSI Sign Supply (active member here in Signs101) verify with SAi on it and its licensed for FlexiSign Pro 6.x and is even valid to upgrade to the current version. Since its originally...
  9. Workflow software that is NOT subscription based?

    Trello...... We have been using it daily for a few years now. It is not an invoice system or anything like that but works great as a production board. We use it to keep track of all jobs from initial contact, quoting, artwork, production, install, etc. Also log and track our supplies orders...
  10. mimaki cjv30 error 202 device construction and print head not firing at all

    What firmware version is you machine running? If above version 2.30 boot the machine into the parameter change mode or boot it into the mode where the service menus are enabled. Go to Parameters, custom, and change the value of custom parameter #76 (should currently be RESERVE) to 47. Reboot the...
  11. "Printer-Nu" from APC gives the prestige of a new Mimaki at a fraction of the cost!

    Sweet! I want a Faux MBIS3... :Big Laugh
  12. Semi Trailer Wrap (media stretch)

    Yes its the weight of the media as well as the fact that you are pulling it somewhat taut as you make your way down each panel. Just have to be somewhat consistent on the install and they should all stretch around the same amount. If there is tons of details and text though then often times...
  13. Who owns their own commercial building?

    We are buying ours...... A few good tips already noted. Setup a separate LLC that you (or you and your wife) own and buy it under that. You then rent to your sign business. As mentioned it gives you some protections by keeping the property and the sign business as separate businesses. Also as...
  14. Missing one side of yellow !!

    Incorrect. There are only two. You are thinking of the ancient JV3 machines..... Even the JV33 machines are starting to get up there in age but they only have a single larger print head with two ribbon cables to it. This is critical!! Actually power the machine off, then unplug it and let it...
  15. MAPS Anti-banding technology - Not just for brand new Mimaki Printers!

    From 3.0 to I think like 4.4 this is correct. Above around 4.6 there is a workaround for this.... ;) You cannot enable something that does not exist. The only way to get the MAPS functionality is to upgrade the firmware to a newer version that has the MAPS function implemented. On a JV33...
  16. Missing one side of yellow !!

    Try a nozzle soak for 30 minutes...... I always do that before blowing tons of ink on cleanings and ink fills.
  17. Locky Virus problems!!!!

    While nothing is 100% secure other than totally staying disconnected from the internet and disabling any means of adding files to a system (USB ports disabled, etc) there are things you should all do to help prevent these sort of things. We use multiple levels of protection. First line of...
  18. Adhesive backed paper.

    Not many options to choose from.... We use one from Sihl - 3683 TriSolv. Works nice but kinda spendy for paper.
  19. Protected JPG files

    I've run into this before and it turned out the files were just weird png files with the wrong extension. Our county GIS system, you can export a map view and it does them in this oddball format. Windows icon for the file works fine and Windows even previews it fine but Photoshop, Flexi, etc...
  20. USTech MVT-600 issue

    Yup.... .need to adjust the upper roller level and get the chain tension right. The silvering just looks like what is expected using cheap calendared laminate which does go away on its own after a while. The only fix for that is using a laminator with heat assist or using a higher end laminate.
