I have a simple question. I'm bringing a used 6042 MKII back to life, using LH-100 inks, and I opened the new bottle of yellow and it looks gold to me. Not even close to yellow. I have an older 6042 running LH-100 and I know the yellow in that is bright yellow. Is there something wrong with...

Had a pretty severe storm roll through and took the power out long enough for my UPS to die, which took my computer down over the weekend. Started the computer up, had some sector issues on the hard drive, finally got it running and Rasterlink 6 for our 6042HG gives an error message of a...

Absolutely! Just tell me if you have them and the details. PM me if needed. Would love to get them shipped out today if that's a possibility at all.

Thanks! I am switching to LH-100, so that explains it. Any idea where to find the right caps for the LH-100? I’m only seeing 1 part number for the set and it’s the same ones I have. I don’t see them in the parts list and can’t find much online at all.

I have a really dumb question. The machine had a brand new set of the ink bottle connectors with it, along with the tightening device. I bought the 250 ml bottles to get started. The caps don't fit the 250 ml bottles. Is there a different set of caps for the small bottles? Or am I missing something?

The good news is that I put the chips in that came with the machine and it was not set up with LC and LM, it was setup with Primer and Clear. Everything is flushing pretty well, except the primer. It's flushing but no where near as fast as the other 7 stations. I've run the subtank fill and...

WOW!!!!!!! Can't express how much I appreciate that information! That is outstanding advice. Hopefully I can get that done shortly. The bottom of the carriage looks really good. I expected it to be a hot mess but it was very clean, along with the heads. I think the thing that killed this machine...

Thanks for that, that is most helpful. Another quick question in my quest to get this thing running, if you have time for it. There's no ink bottles in it. I have all the ink bottles, new. I also have 2 liters of flushing fluid. I'd like to flush the first head since I'm planning on making it...

Got this error resolved by replacing the little switch with the lines on it where it homes. White ink had gotten on the little array of lines it reads and it wasn't able to read the lines. Now that we're past that, I have a setup question I need some help with. The previous owner was running...

Replaced the board and the problem didn't go away. Any other suggestions, since Mimaki is closed today? To recap, the photo interrupter on the X-Axis has been changed, the main board has been replaced, and I'm still getting the X Origin error of 533. If I push the carriage over to the left by...

Thanks for all the input. I'm sure I'll get it running. I'm pretty stubborn :) Just takes time. When we got our first 6042, I would call Mimaki directly and talk to a tech named Charlie, if I remember correctly. He was always very helpful. Sadly, they have removed all ability for end users to...

Thanks, I believe a Mimaki service company helped shut it down and prepare it properly. I expect some issues. Sadly, I have tried multiple dealers that I have contacted and tried to pay them to come get it set up and running and the common theme seems to be "you didn't buy it from us so we're...

Sent you a PM about the board.

Let me make sure I'm not doing something stupid, I do not have this hooked to a computer yet, it's just powering up on it's own. That should work, correct? I have a 6042HG and you can certainly boot that up without a connection so I assume it's the same but maybe it's not. The function button...

I switched the y and x axis photo interrupters and nothing changed. It had the power off of it for a bit, is it possible that it's just lost it's origin and that needs to be reset?

That's the same sensor that is on the Y, so I should be able to swap them and see if the error goes to the Y, correct? It is the blade going into the proximity sensor that we're talking about, correct?

Hello, I bought a used UJF-6042 MKII and I'm trying to get it up and running and I'm having difficulty getting past this boot up level. The machine starts, homes the Y and Z, and looks like it's homing the X as well, but after a minute or two, I get the error code 533 X origin error. I have the...

They were called almost 2 weeks ago. We were told they’d ordered parts and would be in touch. We told them we were in crisis mode and had work due within a week and urgently needed help. Not a peep since then.

Thanks guys, sorry for the delay, I was out of town for a few days. I have resolved a few major issues. Got the printheads dialed in well, but it was squishing the printing in the scan axis. If I printed items 4" wide, they'd be 3.950". If I printed 8" wide, they'd be 7.9" wide. If I printed...
