Usually Mimaki gives you 60 days after expiration before it locks you out. If it's not letting you continue then it's probably been longer than 60. You can try to get your hands on some new chips from a 3rd party ink supplier. I've heard of people removing the battery from the main board on other models to reset the system time but I don't know if on this machine anything else might get reset as well so do at your own risk.

Time to buy new ink. Keep an eye on the expiration dates of the ink you are buying from your vendor. If you are not getting ink that is at least 6 months out I wouldn't purchase it from them.

Also these machines came with the 2 liter bulk system by default. If you can't use the 2 liters in the expiration time, it's probably a good idea to switch to 440 cartridges.
UVJ100 with 2L MBISS? Didn't know that it is possible!

Maybe a JV100? Those support the 2L bulk inks. The UJV is the bottle system.

Yeah I was confused when I wrote that comment back in January. It's only the JV100 that has the 2 liter not the UJV.

I sell stickers and sticker accessories.
Not sure if the UJV, is the same as the UCJV, but if you can get into the service menu, you can change the internal date on the printer. Go back 2 or 3 months to give yourself some extra time on the ink. Just don't go too far, it's not a good idea to use expired ink.
