Wondering if someone can source a numerical conversion for me. We received instructions stating that the PMS values in a file sent to us should match a certain CMYK value (which they didn't), but can't find the [new] values provided listed in any of our books. PMS 290 = C23 M0 Y1 K0 PMS...

I figured this was an individual enough issue to not revive any of the older threads on the subject of cartridge recycling. I can't find of a decent way to dispose of these bloody things (Mimaki 440ml SS2 carts). I used to go through solvencartridges.com, but they've changed not just contacts...

I've been getting an excessive amount of Y-Current errors on the JV3 lately. I haven't lapsed in maintenance, and in fact, cleaned and oiled the rail just this morning, but I've had two Y-Current errors today, and far too many within the last two weeks. At this point, I'm fairly certain it...

Both Ed Hoff and Ed Jemmings need a shoutout here, as they just saved us a ton of time, money, and frustration! I've been wrestling with an issue with our JV4 for ages, as seen here, here, and here. I was all set to rip the printer apart and send the guts to Jemmings for analysis and repair...

Hey all, In the most recent string of troubleshooting efforts, at the behest of the wonderful Ed from Jemmings, I'm looking to back-up my JV4's PRM file, and test an upload of a new one, along with firmware. Problem is, I don't have the JV4's info installed in the upload/download tool, so it...

Well I'm at the end of my rope on this one. Wasted just over 1000 square feet of stock on testing and re-testing, only to find out that my issues were entirely within the RIP. Well, not entirely. I may be crazy. I have a 237.2" wide x 43.1" tall banner to print, separated into 4 equal tiles of...

As an attempted work around of my issues from the previous thread, I'm wondering if I can do one of two things: 1. Scrap Lc and Lm from the print process entirely, essentially converting a CMYKLcLm JV4 into a CMYKx2 machine. 2. Reroute the information going to the LcLm heads at the board...

Well here's a weird one. Recently, I replaced a long overdue head on our JV4 (DX4 aqueous), as we've been hobbling along, printing only with the front bank of heads for far too long. Long story short, with both banks printing now, I'm pretty limited by how I can print because of an...

Hey all, I have an older Lancer dryer kicking around (model LC1808) that I finally got around to getting wired up. While I was jubilant to see the conveyor working perfectly, I got absolutely no heat out of either of the elements. Is anyone familiar with this model of conveyor dryer? If not...

Hey all, I have another oddity here. We're getting in a second Mimaki JV3, and in order to reduce the number of computer systems I need to have sitting by my station, I've been running tests to see if I can get two printers to print simultaneously through a single Production Manager, via...

Hey all, I'm wondering if anyone would know both where I could find a replacement motor for my take-up reel (including the small board for it), and how much they would cost. Thinking I may have had a short, as none of the switches do anything but light up the indicator LED on the board by the...

Printer: JV3-250SP RIP: PhotoPrintDX - Production Manager (Flexi based) Hi all, Every now and then, in an attempt to improve our output, I dabble in head-aligning and creating profiles with bi-directional printing in mind. I'm never impressed with the result though, as chromatic banding is...

Hey all, Our longstanding supplier of 4x8 coated foamboard (out of Markham, Ontario) will no longer be offering the product, and I was wondering if anyone in Canada, and specifically Ontario, had any alternate sources. We're down to our last 35 sheets, and I'm going to have to use them...
