  1. RasterLink6 and Special Plate Valid Pixel clear ink issue

    Hi, I cannot figure this one out. I want to print clear ink over color. I saved a color image and an image with Composite Black elements where I wanted our machine to print with clear ink (no color assigned to the background). In RL6 I am creating a special plate for clear ink (2 channels with...

    It will allow you to print for a couple of months, but eventually yes, it will stop printing past that.

    Regarding network issues. Yes, RasterLink would just lose the printer and I would need to restart both RasterLink AND Printer. Sometimes this would happen in the middle of printing. As suggested by one of the Mimaki sales guy, we bought a long USB cable off Amazon and all of the problems went...
  4. Mimaki UCJV-300 Reviews

    We had one of those installed this spring. Previously we used Roland XR640. Overall I am already disappointed, but there are also good things about it. The white color is really good, but our white head started dropping out just after a few months of use. It takes a number of head cleaning...
  5. Need Help UCJV300-160 GHOSTING

    We have the same thing with our brand new UCJV. I am getting this only with our Clear vinyl (Orafol, paper liner) and it gets so bad that I get media strikes here and there. I raised the head to the MIDDLE position, but it did not really help. I noticed that vinyl starts making 'waves' in the...
  6. Rant UCJV300-160 print carriage major design flaw?

    This was Tubelight-Denco response: "Mimaki said that the coating coming off the bottom of the carriage will not cause problems in itself. Please be sure to clean off any loose coating when you’re doing your regular maintenance." NIce... at least we have all of that in writing.
  7. Custom Wallpaper

    Ultraflex FabriTac is great and works with latex; however, I only printed on it with eco-solvent and UV inks.
  8. Question Lightbox Printing Questions

    Hi, white translucent vinyl defuses light better than clear vinyl. That overprint thing IMO is complete BS ... I've never had good results with that. What worked for me is 2 layers of vinyl. 1st layer could be clear vinyl with 50%-100% density print (you gonna have to find your sweet spot), and...
  9. Rant UCJV300-160 print carriage major design flaw?

    "I'm pretty sure that the scrape to the left of PH2 is from a head/media strike (s), and the anodized coating has rubbed off." - I am sorry, but you are wrong. This is not an 'anodize' coating. Even if it is then it must be very poor quality because it does not feel like an anodized coating at...
  10. Rant UCJV300-160 print carriage major design flaw?

    That area so close to the heads always had seen the OEM F200/LF200 washing liquid every time I was in there doing the cleaning. I believe Mimaki's tech thinking is that it may be from the old Cap-Absorber, but it was replaced about a month ago after being prompted by our machine (it took a week...
  11. Rant UCJV300-160 print carriage major design flaw?

    We have a few months old UCJV300-160. I do like it as a printer despite some well-known software and hardware quirks. But last week something very alarming came to my attention and made me come here and post about it. During the routine head cleaning, I noticed what looked like an ink build-up...
