I looked into it and confirmed they are on backorder with ETA pending which is not great because most common items will at least give an ETA even if it's a long one. In my experience, they could come in at any time as in tomorrow or weeks from now unfortunately. The 330 series does use a...

They did make some major changes to their shipping policies and procedures in the beginning of this year. It got pretty rough there for us dealers as well. When I started a long time ago, every order I placed shipped same day as long as it was before the shipping cutoff. Now there isn't even an...

There isn't any document, that Mimaki gives out anyway, that describes all parameters. While some Mimaki tech manuals have an "Important Parameters" section that goes through some of the ones a tech might need to troubleshoot or enter permanent service mode, the document that you're most likely...

The sensor looks like #28 below. Like smoke said, go into service mode and test the sensor by moving something in and out of the interrupt sensor and have someone watch the screen to see if it flashes on and off. If it doesn't, either the sensor or the board it connects to is damaged. If it does...

Microsoft Edge has a function called, Microsoft Edge WebView2, that renders certain UI elements in windows. So Versaworks is trying to use that to render something, most likely a pop up window or something like that, and it's failing. Either you're logged in as a user who doesn't have access to...

There are some parts of of the process that can be parallelized but most of it can't so the RIP companies don't bother. Basically, the value of one pixel/dot relies on information from the one before it so it has to be processed sequentially. But you can always just hit the turbo button for...

There are many different part numbers for DX7 heads and some people claim certain ones are for UV or Solvent etc. The truth is, a DX7 head is a DX7 head. There are really only two versions. One has a black manifold with white sealant and one has a clear manifold with clear sealant. They both...

Some Mimaki printers have been known to pop out of remote mode randomly. As smoke jaguar mentioned, if it says DATA REMAIN, you should be able to pop it back into remote mode and it will continue where it left off.

Mimaki America has conflicting info on the site. The official spec is 430 sf/hr on the 330. Technically you can get up to 592 sf/hr but that's only 2 pass and isn't practical.

The lifetime error is just s timer and doesn't mean anything is broken. That being said, if the station is old, it may need to be changed or just the cap top needs to be swapped out. If the machine sat for a long time, the nozzles could be clogged and you might need to do a head soak. Try to see...

Did you reboot in normal mode yet and see if the error pops up again? Sometimes the initialization is so fast you don't see it.

Yeah, they've changed the boards a lot through the years. This machine isn't my specialty but maybe Smoke_Jaguar has some insights. He's the expert.

- Power on while holding the left, right, and down keys - Once it boots up, scroll down to the "Init Counter" Menu and hit enter - Scroll down to pump and hit enter - It will ask you if you want to initialize and just input yes - Don't do what people are tempted to do and initialize ALL or NVRAM...

Here's a better way to test the motor ICs. Just to rule it out in case they can be malfunctioning in a way that is damaging the motors. Also, I looked through the firmware history and there aren't any motor fixes mentioned so GPT might be confused.

Good points. I'd also add that solvent inks aren't exactly healthy to be around so much especially without proper ventilation. That being said, if speed is the main goal, the CJV330 is over double the speed and costs about $12k less. So it just depends on the top priority.

Any reason you need to use UV if you're not using white or clear? If you want speed and quality and there's no other reason to use UV, get the CJV330.

It's a common problem with UV inks even with other manufacturers. Find a dealer who will drop ship them directly from Roland and you'll get the best expiration dates. But even then, you might not get much better results.

The RIP process is non-parallelizable so it can't use hyper threading or multiple cores. I assume setting it to use CPU 0 only fixes some sort of data flow bug in the software. Multiple cores only benefits the RIP process when you want to RIP multiple files at once.

Roland had a good reputation when they were making SP-300s that lasted 20 years and are still running to this day. Somewhere it went downhill and they started pumping out budget printers at full price. Might have something to do with them going the private equity route.

It's hard to say. Here in the midwest it's a no brainer because of the natural humidity. You have to keep the windows open to keep the air flowing. if not, it gets so humid it's unbearable. With a dehumidifier, it might act as the open window. Plus the internet says it works so there's that.
