How doi stop a JV3 from cleaning mid-job?
I’m currently running my machine off a parallel port while I wait for a FireWire controller to arrive, and it seems that when doing wide jobs the printer wants to flush ink through the heads ever 2-4 passes. As you know this is quite time consuming and wastes alot of ink.
I’ve turned the refresh rate to 0, and set auto clean off and still keeps doing it (I’ve also set my rip ONYX to use panel settings).
Any ideas?

Hi… sorry to hear about your firewire problems… the point of firewire is for speed and parallel is to old hat, most other printers use SCSI or Network cables which are hi-speed.
The mid-way head clean is the printer running out of data while it is sending to it, it has to send the whole set of bands. So parallel isn’t really suitable.
So whats wrong with your firewire?

Not sure, I just pulled the card and replaced it now everything is just ducky 🙂
By the way, I got the color matching problems worked out (to an extent) and the machine is finally printing some nice colours. Ink limits are a tad off but I can tune that later I suppose.
Now all I need to do is get bi-directional alignment fixed. On the new Jv3 I use to print on the bi-dir worked flawlessly!

well our 720dpi bidir works, i think ours has gone off slightly so i have to re-align on different resolutions
pleased u got it sorted

Yea, 720dpi is what we usually run on the other machine. For now this is fine, when I have more time I’ll try and re-align this (and figure out how to do it).
