I would contact Mimaki. The rollers shouldnt be disintegrating after 1.5 years, so really they should be paying to fix it

It will be ok in a small space, but the fan would need to be at floor level. if you get a couple of powerful fans you can duct them up to the window for the outlet. One of my customers does this in a small back office room. They have the two fans venting directly outside at floor level and you...

The cracks are in the black parts that hold the pinch rollers to the square rod behind it. If they crack the rollers become loose and the vinyl will not be held correctly. Sometimes they dont crack but become worn and loose so need replacing. They are hard to find but you can get used ones on ebay

You are very lucky they are doing that for you. TBH I'm not sure that will fix the problem or that was what had caused it. I have used out of date inks on machines plenty of times in the past ( they are spare machines that aren't used for main production ) and never had any problems. Some of...

Yes, this is why they don't get the head rank put on them by Epson

I wouldn't buy from there. Chances are they are either seconds or 'refurbished' - which isn't really possible with DX4s. Also if you do get a bad head you will have no chance of returning it

Avoid Digiprint ! they are cheap, but if you get a faulty head ( which seems quite common ) they won't stand by the warranty ! Also avoid anywhere that seems very cheap. There are scam sites in Indonesia saying they sell them for around $300 but only take bank transfers for payment... And the...

Because of it being so old and obviously hand made for them way back, possibly by the original owner, I would be tempted to try and conserve the original. Stabilise the wood, varnish the front, maybe even install a clear acrylic panel over the original artwork etc... If the outer frame is too...

As for the board switches, all should be set to OFF. I'm not sure about the AJ but IIRC the DIP switches are generally only used to put it into test modes for the setup in the factory apart from on older printers where it can be used to convert a standard printer to a V model, so don't need...

I would be guessing at a servo board problem. Does it print ok using FW5.1 ? Are using cartridges or a bulk ink system? It could be it has been like that a long time but the previous owner was using a bulk system so didn't worry about the ink levels in VW. Does the printer itself show the ink...

Have a look at small tool boxes or fishing accessories boxes. They come in loads of different sizes

It's not actually a problem with the fan, its with the board. The fan is there to cool down the boards in the back of the printer. All you are doing is heating the boards up ( which is why it works when the printer warms up ) by not having the fan on. It 'may' work for some people, but the fan...

I imagine after 3 years he has got it sorted...

Basically, you won't get what you are looking for. The closest you will get is a Roland BN20. They aren't expensive and will be perfect for what you need to do. Are you actually making these samples for your own products or are you hoping to make them and then sell them online somewhere? To me...

Yes, it should say how to do this in the service manual

Yes you will need to open the valves. Do all of this when the printer is off just in case some leaks somewhere !

Yes, is worth testing the lines first to see if they are ok, but sometimes they can be partly blocked and it is hard to tell by doing that. Have just emailed you the manual
