  1. Let's Build a DTF Printer (For as cheap as possible!)

    Got tired of their dongle, so just using a virtual one. Not posting crack instructions, since I am not going to encourage people to steal software. Just using it for my own convenience. The software is simple, but the $500 price tag for such a simple program isn't great. Plus, some of the...
  2. Ever wondered how designs get printed so flawlessly on fabric? Let’s talk about Sublimation Printing

    I'm going to have to give you a solid C- on your report. Got a weird AI vibe here, and the company address is just a sketchy 'virtual office' setup.
  3. Free Karen Read! (retrial begins 4/22)

    What's the MSRP on a Karen Read? Is this some kind of mail in rebate?
  4. JFX200-2513 EX ink supply issues??

    Working on mine and I found the tubing they used in that batch of peristaltic pumps (2021 tagged model) was awful. All flattened out, so I rebuilt all the pumps with Tygon. Still don't know why they didn't use gravity to feed those damn things.
  5. Mimaki UCJV 300-160 Nozzle Recovery Issue

    Recheck your nozzle numbers, the charts can be a bit of a pain. Usually works if just programming out a few nozzles. Dedicated Mimaki forum here btw https://www.signs101.com/forums/mimaki.208/
  6. Hi guys and gals... Not sure If I'm in the right place to post a question on this topic, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough..

    Firmware is what resides in the printer's EPL board (basically the motherboard), RasterLink is the RIP software that lives on your PC. The code you're getting is F(use) 2 on the slider board being blown. Bad heads can develop short-circuits and that fuse is to protect the slider. Nothing to do...
  7. Question Anybody have a list of parameters and what each does in service mode of the UCJV300?

    The gully annotated parameter list itself isn't public to my knowledge, or in circulation.
  8. Need Help Lines when printing Magenta CJV150-130BS

    Print in unidirectional mode and then unidirectional but reverse direction. If printing to the left, likely the left side one and vice versa. Setting in the Q menu in RasterLink.
  9. Need Help Lines when printing Magenta CJV150-130BS

    Probably dampers, could be ink starvation. On test prints the ink has a chance to catch up so to speak.
  10. !NCU SENSOR LV LOW MIMAKI JV150

    The NCU is the black slot sensor between the capping station and the platen.
  11. !NCU SENSOR LV LOW MIMAKI JV150

    Might be ink on the Nozzle Check Unit LED or receiver, can just disable it to bypass the code. Most people turn it off since it takes a while to run nozzle checking and they don't like the added print time.
  12. Favorite RIP for Flatbed Printing

    Just using generic HosonSoft controllers, so 'most brands'.
  13. Question Mimaki cjv 150-160 with broken printhead

    You can run the printer in unidirectional mode and probably be fine, will just be really slow. Just need to make sure it is configured with only 4 colors, not 8. Try before buying of course.
  14. UCJV330 - Dropped black Head 1

    Wow, might be a firmware issue if I were to take a stab in the dark. Service mode: Hold Func1 and Func3 when booting, let go when you hear beep/firmware version shows on screen. Go to menu and should be an extra page for #ADJUST, #TEST, & #PARAMETER
  15. Question Service Manual for Mimaki JFX200-2513 EX ??

    Wrong thread, wrong printer. Sending me the exact thing in DM isn't going to get me to send you a manual or help you. If you cannot follow the most basic of instructions, you're going to need a professional to do it.
  16. UCJV330 - Dropped black Head 1

    Joy, wonder if a connection got bumped. Bust of luck. Thankfully the heaters are a cobbled together doohickey instead of an internal printhead heater line.
  17. Favorite RIP for Flatbed Printing

    Managed to figure out how to generate printer definition files for most RIPs, so that should help a ton. Right now I am looking into making a kit for old Oce Arizona and JFX200/JFX500 printers to convert over to modern heads/electronics. Seems both those printers are filling the market at a...
  18. Question Service Manual for Mimaki JFX200-2513 EX ??

    This is a thread about a JFX200 EX series printer, not a UCJV300. Since you cannot be bothered to check such a simple thing, I think giving you a service manual would just be a liability. While I am happy to welcome new forum members, people who just join, I get at least 2-3 people a week...
  19. UCJV330 - Dropped black Head 1

    The way the lines are run on the 330 is pretty dang tight. Had issues where a line got kinked or a damper got pulled up causing the head to have ink starvation. The first thing I would do is to make sure dampers are clipped in properly and lines look to be straight.
  20. Advice for repairing Mimaki CJV 300-160 Printer

    Might be easier to find a local supplier, and not a rare part by any stretch. Plus, being in New Zealand and all that.
