I’m looking to grease/oil up my mimaki UJF 3042 mkii. I just found that Molykote by Dow Corning is what I need to use. Does anyone know what product number that works best with their mimaki? I was told that I want to use Molykote but I don’t know the model or product number, there’s several and...

G'day everyone, Been reading the forums and trying to work out whether or not I can use an ali-express "unlocked" refurb head on my 2012 mimaki CJV30-160. I've seen remarks regarding lock versions and decoder chips etc. And because I'm scouting threw so many threads I've found it really...

Hello everyone, I have a Mimaki UJF 3042 MKii UV Printer that will only let me JIG print on the right-half of the jig/table. ERROR 505 WORK HIGH keeps popping up. I read that I need to balance the flatbed/physical adjustments FIRST and then work on the calibrations of the laser... Well, since...

I greet you We have a Mimaki and operate it with the vacuum OPT-J0217 from Mimaki. Now this device is too weak for our application and we need a more powerful one. As far as I know, there is a more powerful one from Mimaki, but the performance offered is too low for the price, so we would...

Hi everyone, I’m encountering an issue with a DX5 printhead, and I hope someone here can help. I’m a service technician and have personally replaced over 100 printheads, so I’m familiar with the process. In this case, I’ve ensured that the new head ID was properly entered each time. I...

Thought I might start a thread on 3D printed parts you might need for your Mimaki. Mimaki HQ here wanted $150 ea for the fume extraction fittings. I had one of the original and thought I could atleast try to print it. Here's the file. It should also accomodate any other machine with the...

I installed Onyx Go Plus today, and despite no apparent documentation being available (for free), I've worked my way through it so far. But I've encountered some issues/questions that I'm hoping someone can help with. 1. I have selected the driver for my JFX200-2513EX. There seem to be only 2...

I hope you are all doing well. I have recently gotten into UV printing with a Mimaki UCJV300 roll-to-roll printer and trying to understand as much as I can.

Have a Mimaki CG 160FXII cutter, from 2013. Just started making clanking noise when doing horizontal cuts, and on rounded corner rectangles it cuts opposite corners at an angle instead of rounded. Not sure if belt issue or motor issue, no idea honestly.

Printer is about almost 2 years old. Last year printer was ghosting and printhead 1 was having problems with black that cleaning would not help. It is unknown if these problems are related. A tech came out and replaced the mainboard (fixed the ghosting) and printhead. This fixed the problem...
