  1. Aftermarket dampers for JV33/JV5

    Dear friends, any knows a good brand of aftermarket dampers for JV33/JV5? I've tried some cheap and they do weird things like not closing, not vacuum, even they sound "click" when the printhead is parking!! The original ones aren't an option, as I plan to swap all the 32 dampers on the JV5 and I...
  2. JV5 capping doesn't go down enough

    Sometimes (not always) when I try to start printing, the capping station doesn't come down enough to let the printhead plate pass to the printing zone, so it hits the NCU chassis and stop with an error. Anyone know what can be damaged? could it be the capping sensor? Thanks Robert.
  3. JV5 cross contamination

    Dear Fellows, I don't know if this is a known problem, but from time ago, I suffer ink cross contamination on the JV5 printheads. I start printing and the yellow begins printing black some nozzles till it's completely yellow after some passes. This behaviour have ruined lots of prints, as...
  4. JV5 Drying Fan not working

    Please, do you have any clue of what could be the problem? I start printing and the drying fan stays off. I don't know where to look at, the Box Relay Board or the Fork PCB. I don't know if this is a recursive problem by there. It's the first time it occurs here. Thanks, Robert.
  5. XJ-640 vs. Rockhopper III

    Dear friends, I'm about to choose between the Mutoh Rockhopper III and the Roland XJ-640. I'm more inclined for the Roland because it can print faster (till 40 sqm/h vs. 22) and it has six colours. But if you can tell your opinion, it would be marvellous. Thanks and best regards, Robert.

  7. Why disconnect JV5 printhead heaters?

    me again. I've seen several technicians who disconnect the JV5 printheads heaters, because it's supposed to be better for the ink performance. Any have seen something like this? PS: MimakiTech24, do you have any info regarding this, and compatibility between JV5-JV33 printheads? Thanks to all...
  8. JV33 Printhead, suitable for JV5?

    Dear Fellows, I've heard all kind of things regarding this. Some people say that it's exaclty the same, some people say they're different printheads. The fact is the JV33 cost exactly half the price of the JV5 printhead in Europe. Anybody did try it?
  9. Is there a way to emulate mutoh weaving on a JV5?

    I think it's a matter of software. Maybe drivers, maybe RIP. Anybody has some info about? Thanks and best regards. Robert.
  10. Help, can I put a JV33 printhead in a JV5?

    Dear friends, I have to swap two printheads on the JV5. The JV33 printheads looks the same, but they're way cheaper. Any of you knows if I can put the JV33 printheads on the JV5? I did the test with Epson 4800 and 4880 printheads, but the printer doesn't recognize them. Thanks in advanced, Robert.
  11. SP-540V blowns mainboard fuse constantly

    Hi there, I'm new to the forum and I've seen very skilled people here. I have a Versacamm SP-540V with a weird problem. It blowns the fuse of the Black-Cyan head. I thought it was due to a short-circuit in the printhead, as I cleaned it with a syringe, but with the new mainboard it has the...
