    Hi, We have a FB750 which has come up with an error message saying the waste ink container is full (image attached). Note this isn't the normal maintenance message where it's asking you to turn the spigot to empty the waste but instead talks about the float being disconnected? If I try and...
  2. VS-640 HELP - Ink Leaking from Head

    Hi, My VS-640 has light cyan ink dripping from the head. It is a consistent drip. Ive replaced the cap top and wipers and did manual cleaning to confirm there is nothing causing the ink to drop like a wick draws fluid. Im thinking it is the damper, but would only 1/2 of a damper go? Ive...

  10. S80600 and linier profiles for ink limits nightmare.

    So i have been working for almost 2 days after a crappy install of my S80600. For some reason no matter what i do on my ink limits the print is either way to dull or light on ink or way to saturated and dark. I can go from 90-95 or the opposit way when doing the ink limits and get results that...
  11. No Magenta Ink Printing

    Hey guys. Recently my printer ran out of magenta ink. Normally the machine stops and tells me to change the cart but this time I guess it didn't. My fault there. However, once I changed to a new bag I still have no magenta printing. Several cleanings and an "initial charge", I still have nothing...

  16. Mimaki 3042FX - Ink expired

    Hi, We have a Mimaki UJF-3042FX which we have had for nearly a year. The printer is not in constant use, and we only print small items, so we have a problem in that the ink expires before we have even used half a cartridge. This is costing us a fortune in wasted ink, which I'm sure could still...
