Basically have to either feed cleaner from cap, or pull head and set it in a shallow dish of cleaning solution.

Pull cleaner with a syringe on the head, don't push. Might just be wedging the clog further into the nozzle plate.

Emulation to run the software is one thing, but drivers can be far trickier in some cases.

Buy a copy?

As far as I can tell, their drivers are only compatible with x86 32 bit and x64 architectures.

Umm, ok? Any time I see an "Enquire Now" button on a site, I go elsewhere.

White ink shaking keeps the ink agitated inside the bottle before it even gets to the printer. That's not to say it isn't VERY important to do, the circulation system helps a LOT once the printer enters the ink. That said, leaving the printer off for a few days or more is when stuff goes bad on...

Sounds like possible issues with the circulation pump that's letting air into the white system. First printer I trained on officially with Mimaki, so got to dive in head-first on their dime. We replaced sooo many parts thanks to a tech accidentally breaking things. Good times. Since the white...

On the planet 123456qweQWE that Denis is from, the resupply shuttle only comes every 20 moon cycles, or 14 earth years. As such, he's going to need all the help he can get.

Keys require activation, so they're one time use. They have a free 6>7 upgrade path and I think there is a 5>6 still.

Yeah, it's a long flight from OK City to Italy, so can't blame them if they're techs I know. PM me if you need a copy, won't be the latest one, but will be one that's already floating around the public.

Might want to run a bed thickness check. Acceptable deviation across the entire bed is 0.4mm, but with time and some Allen wrenches, can get that down to 0.1-0.2mm easy.

Sounds like you've knocked out everything but the head control board and maybe firmware. Not much else to go on, maybe due to environmental issues like printing in a non-climate controlled environment? Not a whole lot of things I would try short of maybe ink valves/needles and such.

Can put all issues in one thread for making it easier to track. But anyways, have you tried running media size compensation on the quality tab? Also, there's a dedicated Mimaki section on the forum where your post is more likely to be seen by we Mimaki nerds...

Subtanks are used instead of dampers as they can handle the thicker ink and support vacuum/pressure loading. Can try turning on nozzle recovery to disable the specific nozzles and see if that cuts power those nozzles.

If it seems to be a random channel(s) that are dripping, it could be an air leak in the head itself causing the head to leak ink while printing. If you haven't already check and see if an air purge clears it up. In certain cases, it can also be a small leak in the damper, not a cheap part, but...

I'm sure in the 8 years since the original post, they've figured out what to do. :rolleyes:

I've learned not to give away RIP and other semi-expensive software, because I will get private messages from zero-post accounts created 10 minutes before they decided to PM me out of the blue years after the relevant post.

Ebay? It's not free software. If you printer can run on 7, that's less than $50 for the current version.
