  1. UV Cleaning Solution

    If the ink isn't cured and the capping station has done its job keeping light out, UV heads are typically recoverable. WAY more often than solvent heads in my experience. The main thing is using a flushing solvent designed for the UV ink type as well as checking the lines. Not uncommon to find...
  2. Filling sub tank with sub 50% ink in bottle

    Normal startup is gross, service mode for all the machines!
  3. Dumb (and possibly profitable) Uses for Large UV Flatbeds?

    There's never enough stupid fun to go around.
  4. Filling sub tank with sub 50% ink in bottle

    Should be fine, can just go to #adjust>subtank to fill from there.
  5. Well Color me Surprised...

    Microsoft has a long history of maintaining a hard stance on things people don't like for a good few months and then folding like a wet paper bag.
  6. Well Color me Surprised...

    We didn't bother with getting AI coprocessors or whatever they're called on our systems. Reminds me of dumb stuff like those short-lived PhysX cards.
  7. Well Color me Surprised...

    Works fine here, Windows 11 Pro. Can also use an alternative viewer like Files, available here for free. https://files.community/
  8. Mimaki Profile Master Pro II

    Had some luck using an iStudio (formerly XRite, now Calibrite) colorimeter and using it to make decent profiles that I then shuffled into RasterLink. Checking my box full of Mimaki software to see if I have one. Happen to need 30 RasterLink 6 dongles while I am at it? I think these might be it...
  9. Sticker Mule needed a permit

    He can for $10!
  10. Sticker Mule needed a permit

    $1500 for a domain, rough. Jackasslabels.com is available though, for regular price of $10. Or whatever your registrar charges.
  11. Dumb (and possibly profitable) Uses for Large UV Flatbeds?

    So, I am getting good at finding and fixing up Mimaki JFX's for dirt cheap. Sold a couple of them and made a good chunk of them. Are they worth running for printing though? We can run them dirt cheap (most we've ever paid for a JFX200 was $8K, and we do all repairs, mods and maintenance...
  12. Well Color me Surprised...

    Thankfully they have to make an OS that works in big restrictive enterprises, so most elements can be ripped out as needed. Group policies are also a huge help.
  13. Well Color me Surprised...

    We strip out lots of invasive stuff on our machines, so just adding that stuff to a powershell script or registry file is super easy when doing a fresh install, or an update changes settings. Stuff runs better when it's not bogged down with crap like advertising or junk features.
  14. Well Color me Surprised...

    Just uninstalled it through powershell. Oh well, I hear 2025 will be the year of the linux desktop.
  15. Question RasterLink6 Job Log

    This post is from January 2018.
  16. Sticker Mule needed a permit

    I love the extra business they bring me, but we also like dealing with small batch customers. Maybe we're just stupid, but I enjoy it. As for free publicity, the MyPillow guy was swimming in that. Last I checked they were auctioning off all their fixtures for hilariously low prices, even by...
  17. Mimaki CJV150-75 Missing Nozzles and printing fuzzy with overspray

    Note that the memory board is for the parameters of the head it came with. Good to adjust the rank code when installing the new head to its code.
  18. New print head printing fine lines next to artwork

    Can wipe the contacts clean with a swab and some solvent ink cleaner if you avoid the stuff plastic tab. Don't want that coming unglued. Also look for bent or mangled pins.
  19. New print head printing fine lines next to artwork

    Nice clean lines like that indicate it's firing at weird times. Double check cables to see if they are well seated in their connectors and there's no trace of ink at the electrical contacts. Had an Epson P5000 that had what I thought was a negligible droplet of ink on one of the head cables...
  20. Need Help MIMAKI UCJV 300-160 (banding issues (waves or alternating lines) despite the print heads and feed tests showing 100% results.

    If you have a colorimeter, that can be a huge help. If MAPS in auto is having issues, can try selecting a pattern, or disabling it. For me, lots of times I have issues with Adobe formats and I have to convert them to more basic raster types (Tiff, JPG, etc) and things improve massively. Not...
