  1. New Guy Extreme Newbie - Questions on Mimaki JV3-160sp

    Hi Mike! Could you send that documentation you mentioned about replacing/changing a printhead? I am at a loss with this KM head. The pump seems to be working fine, I'm not seeing any pool of ink under the pump, and things seem to be flowing fine during a diswaywash or fillupink. I've swapped...

    Thanks Mike! I'll dig into that wiper compartment and see if there's anything more I can clear out of there. I definitely pulled out a lot of gunk from both that area and down under the bars it slides on...there was even an old wiper blade down in there that was embedded within the old ink...

    Yep, jv3-160sp, and he threw in a 130spii for parts, but there are no heads, the whole carriage is removed, and I don't think he ever used that one. So I don't think it would have anything for me to pull for my current problem. It really was working pretty darn good when I picked it up. There...

    Thanks for the advice Mike! I have a feeling you might have helped out the guy I got my printer from too. He's the one that recommended this site to me, and mentioned a guy "down by Milwaukee" that told him about a homemade cleaning solution. I'm excited to get to work on this thing, but my...

    Hi Mike! My nozzle test prints show some clogging. A few persistent areas in the black, and a pretty big chunk in the yellow. The other ones look pretty good. So far, I've only managed to do the basic manual swabbing around the capping station and wiper, the nozzle wash, plus the test & clean...

    By mis-registration I mean slight halos around printed elements that should have sharp clean edges. Like I said, I could be using the wrong term, but that's the what it reminds me of from press printing. Like when you are laying down the CMYK and the plates aren't lined up exactly, so the edges...

    Hi there folks! Newbie here. Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm totally new to large format digital printing - as far as actually running the machines. But I've been a graphic designer for 15+ years, worked pre-press at a printing company (all sheet-fed and web presses), and my current job...
