Hi, I also saw the VG2 but the price was a lot higher than the Vs540i I bought. What was the offer price?

Hi Sightline. Can you please go into detail on how this can be done for the Mimaki CJV30. I've searched and searched but all the information is based on the JV33. Basically most of the ink lines on my Mimaki has this negative pressure you speak of so the ink is flowing back out of the dampers...

Yeah I changed the Dampers but that was about it. As far as I know the manifold should be okay. I'm really hoping to fix this myself as I was able to get some of the colors back by syringing some of the dampers. It's a Mimaki CJV30 so does anyone know anything about opening the valves? I read it...

What is meant by opening the valve? Is that the gold nut? I have a CJV30 and opened the carriage. I don't understand what is meant by opening the valve. Thanks

Hi. What would be the causes of air in the ink lines moving away from the dampers? E.g When priming a damper with a syringe the ink flows into the dampers. However when I take the syringe off the ink immediately flows out the opposite way. Also there's a lot of air bubbles in the ink line. Thanks

Hi, Thanks for the recommendation. Can you explain to me what this is and how I will need to use it? Thanks

It was literally left off the entire time :( I was just getting into Print and Cut and bought an SP540v the month before. Saw a great deal on the Mimaki and bought it. I saw the machine work from the store, took it home and haven't had the time to use it until now. It had seen very little use...

Hello, My Mimaki CJV30-60 was left sitting idle for a whole year. The nozzles were working perfectly before then. So I recently changed the dampers, tubes and capping station. I also gave the printhead an overnight soak. I went into options and selected Ink Fill Up. Still nothing was coming...

Thank you. Fortunately the sellers had 2 VS540i's and one of them had the Dual CMYK setup. They told me that the conversion is quite straightforward if I ever wanted to change it. They are one of the biggest print and cut refurbishers in England and they had well over 200k worth of machines in...

Thanks Derbycity for replying again :) The guy who I'm buying it from told me that the metallic and white have been used daily to prevent them from clogging. Assuming that's true, what is the actual process of flushing and when you say replace the ink systems does that include the tubes. dampers...

Sorry to dig up such an old post but how does one go about changing a 6 color + Metalic + White to dual CMYK? I am currently looking at a VS540 machine with that ink configuration however I want the dual CMYK purely for speed. Is it as easy as switching out the ink cartridges and carrying on or...

Thanks guys for all of the input. I think I made my decision. I am either going to buy the VS540 or VS540i. Aside from the cartridge mount system one being vertical and one being horizontal what are the other main differences? I can get the VS version for quite a bit cheaper.

Thank you. I read your link to the other thread but couldn't find the source of the problem for the VSi machines but I understand that a lot of users have had problems with it nonetheless. As for internal issues of the VS machines can you name the important ones which need to be considered. I...

Are the DX6 printheads considered really old? I heard a lot of people still prefer DX5's etc.

Thank you for all the responses. The EPSON S40/S60/S80600 are all great and I'm sure the technology is newer and better than the Rolands however an all in one machine is something I need. I won't have space for 2 machines and I am also a one man band. Whilst the printer is printing and cutting I...

Thanks again :) I think you helped me with my decision. Color correctness isn't a main concern as my SP540v has done a fantastic job thus far and customers have never complained. Speed and resolution is something I value more so I think I will go for the VS series :) If it was a true successor...

Thank you so much for your input. I understand that the VS series is more reliable however the VG is newer and although I know I won't go wrong with either it is a decision I don't want to regret especially when there's only a thousand pounds differentiating the 2. Firstly is the VG series...

I am planning on upgrading from my SP540v soon. I want to get either the VS540i or the TruVis VG540. In GBP I can pick up the VG for 1000 pounds (1300 or so dollars) more. So $11,000 VSi vs $12,300 VG. Both are in used condition. I was aware that the VG series was too new at the time and as...

Hi Sightline. I'm not so technically gifted when it comes to self service on these machines. I have a CJV30 60 and need to replace the dampers. With my Roland there's a ton of videos on Youtube so visually watching a video gives me so much more confidence. However there's hardly any videos on...

Thank you once again. I'm going to order them now as you say it's best to replace the old ones no matter what. I'm somewhat hopeful because as the cyan did come back a little bit after the ink fill up I'm hoping that it's because the dampers were dry. Thank you for your help I'll report back in...
