Yes, changing it back to a 1 will indicate it's a JV300 but now that your parameters are initialized, you might need to run head alignments etc. as the old settings are gone unless you downloaded the parameter file as a backup first.

In this image, an SP-300 with Mimaki inks with Roland chips on them and running fine. Disclaimer, we don't use this printer to make a living. Try at your own risk but it does work.

It will probably print ok but not great. While a head soak and some cleaning could recover them, I would expect to need to change both heads fairly soon, especially the black cyan head, which will run you about $1000. Have them print out a service report and check the head firing count. The...

If the head is older than 3-5 years, it is more likely. Anything over 5 is very good.

We've had people buy a printer with a card and in those rare cases we do add a fee if they absolutely have to use a card.

It's possible but cross contamination tends to be a partially clogged cap top that isn't draining fast enough, a bad damper, or a failing wiper not making good contact with the head.

Bake it into your pricing. Customers tend to see the fee as your business expense and can get angry that you're making them pay it. Bake it in and everyone's happy.

Maybe try Flexi's RIP since you already use their designer. Should be seamless as far as what you're trying to do.

I'd search your settings in both the save dialog in Flexi and Print Factory. It's possible that when saving the file in Flexi that it's converting spot colors to CMYK or something similar that is erasing your spot color from the file. In Print Factory, maybe there's a toggle button to turn on...

You probably won't get a lot of answers as the first ones are just shipping. In my experience, new models almost always come out with some rough edges that need to be smoothed out. Since you're starting out, that just adds more learning curve to the whole process. That being said, based on the...

Yeah it's probably just a disconnect between the way each software handles the spot color names. You could do a quick test by creating a spot color and name it exactly how it's labeled on your Print Factory swatch. Then print it out and see if the color is correct. So where Flexi might be naming...

I don't know if this is true for Roland but Mimaki and Mutoh have had ink upgrades throughout the years and the main changes have been lower VOCs and faster drying times. I've spoken to a 3rd party ink manufacturer and they said the main difference for them is they just use the same ink and put...

AI isn't super resource intensive once the model is trained. That won't stop the computer manufacturers from selling you an "AI ready" computer with overblown stats for what people will actually need.

As a Mimaki dealer, I can tell you that their shipping situation is the worst it's been in 15 years. I used to get things shipped same day without fail but these days I'm lucky to get an order shipped within 72 hours. With this new change, it's going to affect the UV inks the most. Solvent inks...

4 Color (C, M, Y, K) - You'll hit most of the colors you're going to need, fastest setup, only 4 inks to stock 6 Color (LC, LM) - Some gradients will look smoother, less grainy gray scale images, doesn't actually expand gamut, not worth the speed hit in my opinion 8/9 Color (O, G, R, B, etc.) -...

Here's the profile download page for Rasterlink 7 and your model: https://mimaki.com/product/inkjet/print-cut/ucjv330-series/download.html They won't work in Onyx I believe however.

If the new cables didn't fix it, it's probably the head unfortunately.

The tech most likely just accepted the 2 month expiration date extension prompt. Mimakis will give you 2 extra months until they completely stop you from using them. The only way to use expired inks once past the 2 month extension is to trick it by changing the date, requires messing with the...

I don't use Onyx enough to tell you exactly where it is but, there should be an ink calculation settings menu where you input info like your ink costs and size etc. That way it's tailored to your specific machine and ink. That should get you closer. The reason is varies so much is it's...
