How do I do a "full flush"? Right I'm using solvent carts and pulling it through the lines that connect to the dampers in the head.

I still have residue like this in my orange and yellow line. Should I be worried? I can't to get these lines completely flushed.

Also just realized they sent me the wrong cleaning carts. I got sent PN FL003-Z-22.

I started this process tonight. Some colors seemed to flush with ease. While others have a lot of dried ink in the syringe. Is this normal? I'm assuming I'll need multiple flush carts. Right now my plan is to let the flush fluid sit in the lines overnight. Hopefully breaking down any dried...

Are there any Mimaki Techs on here located in Michigan? I need some help getting my printer going again. Its a CJV150. Basically, it needs the lines flushed and a new printhead installed. I plan on doing it myself, but if I can find someone to help that'd be great. I will obviously pay...

What kind of experience does everyone have with these inks? I have used them in the past never had an issue (I somehow had more issues with the Mimaki inks). These carts are half the price so to me, thats the appealing part. I am about to replace my printhead and want to do everything...

Can you please provide context?

Forgot to mention my machine is a CJV150-130

Hi everyone, Unfortunately, I have let my printer sit for some time while disconnected from power. I know I will need a new print head, dampers, and cap - but what is the best way to take care of the ink lines? Is it easier to just replace them at this point? Or is flushing them the better...

How do I confirm that the cap is sealing properly? I replaced it a month ago or so. I just replaced the hose that came with the cap to no avail. I pulled ink through the damper and it seemed to refill. I'm at a loss at this point. I'm back to having basically no nozzles again. No ryhme or...

Have they already been compromised? These dampers have been removed 3-4 times now.

So I was able to get some nozzles back. I noticed the orange line from the damper looks much more transparent compared to the line from the solenoid. About 6 inches back from the damper is transparent. I removed the dampers again and noticed some weren't even filled all the way. What are...

Yesterday I did a bunch of cleanings, ink fills, and removed the dampers in hopes of agitating something to get my printhead back, but it did the opposite. Now I have nothing. When I push on the dampers ink will drip out, so I can assume from the cartridges to the dampers is OK?

Thank you. I will reach out to them. I'm willing to try anything. My Mimaki rep says I should be able to recover the printhead.

It's able to fill and drain the cap with fluid. How do I confirm the cap is sealing properly? It was just replaced with an OEM one. Are you talking about injecting fluid by removing the dampers and pushing fluid through the head? I was told this will immediately damage these printheads.

After having some issues with color accuracy and being busy with work, I let my printer sit powered off for sometime because I had to move it from one room to another (it was powered down for maybe a month). So, now my issue is only having some magenta nozzles print. This is a 8 color...

I had a lot of issues with Mimaki Techs working on this thing and I believe that is part of the issue. There was loose hardware all over the place after assembly. I've learned my lesson on letting other people work on my stuff. Thanks for the input though!

So, I have had my Mimaki CJV150-130 for about 3 years now and I have had nothing but issues with it. It is never the same issue twice either, its always something new. It is my first printer so I still consider myself a rookie. I have taught myself everything except for the LIMITED amount I...

I recently purchased STS SS21 ink cartridges and once they were installed I was getting the wrong ink IC message. I was able to reinstall the original Mimaki ink cartridges and the print read them as it should. So, to me it does not seem to be a printer issue. I have tried a hard reset by...

I'm still a rookie. No one has taught me how to do this stuff. I am solely relying on my own research, and trial and error. I have not come across this issue before, so I am learning.
