  1. Question about cutpaths in new (2020) illustrator

    I've always used a fill of none and a 0.25pt stroke in the same fill color as the text in the past and never had an issue. But this is an alternative to flattening transparency on every file.
  2. Question about cutpaths in new (2020) illustrator

    I searched the forum and nothing useful showed up. Since I've upgraded to a newer version of AI, the cut paths I'm sending to my summa winplot software are showing up as expanded object (an inner and outer path) for each line. Paths are always set to center line, so that hasn't defaulted to...
  3. 3rd Party Ink Chips Problem

    I had to update my firmware to 6.3 due to a motherboard replacement a few years ago. I found a solution with another supplier that hopefully resolves this problem permanently.
  4. 3rd Party Ink Chips Problem

    Well the problem has disappeared with new chips from another source. If anybody is using Dot4dot to source inks for Mimaki ES3 inks, be aware that whatever they've changed, their chips don't seem to work for that ink set anymore.
  5. 3rd Party Ink Chips Problem

    They are labelled accordingly. Let me know if you need to see the other side of them.
  6. 3rd Party Ink Chips Problem

    The one that came on the ink cartridge was stamped 2225D02. Ther permanent chip was marked 107A 943F3 on the chip itself. It also had W16398SB etched into the board.
  7. 3rd Party Ink Chips Problem

    Has anybody ever run into a situation where you printer no longer recognized 3rd party chips? I normally use Rite Media ProColour Inks and it recognizes the chips in those no problem, but my LcLm carts just timed out and the new carts I bought (Not Rite Media) weren't recognized. So they sent me...
  8. Know any good Mimaki Techs that work remotely?

    Not sure about your specific model, but this guy was very knowledgeable on anything to do with Mimakis. Look him up on facebook: Francisco Ruiz Ulloa https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1104827180
  9. Mimaki JV33 Crash

    Just updating an old post with new information. If you're using wasatch softrip (it may apply to others as well). The printer has a tendancy to change the USB designation. Where the RIP is looking for USB-1, the printer may have changed itself to USB-2 or USB-3. If you update the USB# in the...
  10. Can't seem to find a match for this one.

    That's the one! Thanks guys.
  11. JV33 printing out of register

    I learned to live with it, but when I had to replace my mainboard, the issue went away.
  12. Can't seem to find a match for this one.

    WTF is no help. Casual Crew Bold is similar, but different. Is anybody able to identify this one for me? It might be width condensed which is making it difficult to find a match.
  13. Aftermarket capping stations

    Has anybody tried the aftermarket capping stations for a JV33 (or similar) like the ving parts? Any issues with them? They seem to be a very nicely priced alternative to the mimaki version.
  14. JV33 main board replacement

    OK so Mimaki was nice enough to provide the parameters file, but they said they were originally loaded onto firmware version 1.6 and that I should load that first. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of 1.6. The oldest I have is 1.8 which they said wasn't ideal but could be used in a pinch. Does...
  15. JV33 main board replacement

    Yeah I could definitely use some parts. My Y-axis movement has started to make some noise during printing, so I could be in the market for the y-axis motor and some of the pullys, but it would be dependent on how old the parts are. That would be in addition to a mainboard. Let me know what...
  16. JV33 main board replacement

    No I haven't, but as I discovered while researching online that while many things on the board can be repaired, nobody seemed to have a solution for a cooked USB chip which seems to be my issue. So the people that did go the repair route didn't always get a board back that was fully functional...
  17. JV33 main board replacement

    Thank you very much for your reply. I've found all the necessary tools and firmware versions online. Google's frickin amazing! Where would I find the procedure to tell the printer it has ink in it? It isn't listed in the main board replacement section of the maintenance manual. Since I can't...
  18. JV33 main board replacement

    So it would appear that my main board is toasted. Has anybody replaced one on their own? Mimaki (or my dealer's service department) is telling me that the settings cannot be updated through the front panel and will require a tech to update the settings from their backup after the board is...
  19. JV33 main board question

    Does anybody have any idea what red leds mean on a jv33 main pcb? I have not been able to make a USB connection with my rip and have managed to figure out it may be my main board that may have been cooked when the power went out here. I have leds 1, 2 and 3 by the USB chip that are lit red and...
  20. Vinyl darkening with age?

    Would doubling up on the lamination help decrease this effect? Assuming it's from the UV light.
