Mimaki CJV30-130BS Print & Cut misalignment
Good morning, folks
We have a Mimaki CJV30-130BS and we’re having problem with the alignment of the print and cut. The cut is always a few millimeters (arround 3mm) to the left and a few to the up (arround 2mm).
I already tried to do the P/C Origin Offset calibration. While calibrating, the cut was perfectly aligned with the print. Then when I print & cut something, the misalignment is still there, just like before!
Already calibrated the mark sensor offset, the blade offset, and every calibration that I know, and still the cut is terribly misaligned.
Do anyone know any black magic, voodoo, or some weird dance that would make our machine to print and cut like it was planned?
Sorry about my english, by the way );

how many register marks does your printer read before starting cutting?
I have see on my CJV30 that even with fine calibrated P/C, it must be configured with the scan of 4 register marks. With fewer, it is always off.

Right now is only 1. I already set to 4, but didn’t got much improvement on the alignment.
I checked at user manual, pages 4-14 and 4-15, there’s a contradiction. At page 4-14, when the manual is explaining the Skew Check, it shows a position of starting a register mark detection on mark type 2. However, at page 4-15, it says the opposite. Which one is right?

the right one is the one that you use in your art file (type 1 or 2), you must set the printer with the same type that you use in your file.

Actually I was talking about the area that I should place the light pointer.

Today I tried to print and cut a small tag and this is the comparison

I already tried to compensate the misalignment on Corel Draw, but the distortion seems to be random.
Any ideas? I’m going crazy right now.

the print does not look very good to be honnest. I suspect that the register marks are also not correctly printed, this would cause the problem. Could you post picture of the register marks? What size are they? How thin?
-
We’ve printed with using 6 passes (720p), unidirectional. How can print I get better quality? The tag is 35,6mm width and 53,4mm height.
About the register marks, the size is 4mm and 3mm thin. We printed a sheet with 100 copies of the tag. I also tried to print a sheet with 25 copies, but the distortion was still there.

3-4mm thin??? isn’t it 0.3-0.4mm?
-
Yeeees yes yes. Sorry. My bad ):

Here’s the photo of the registry mark -
is the blade offset is correctly set in you printer settings?
-
blade offset is 0.26

Take a close look at your two end rollers. Is the mount cracked or broken?
When you have the rollers down is it possible to pull the material through with your hands?

Nope. Every roller look absolutely fine. It holds the material when I pull it and there’s no visible crack
EDIT: Well, I noticed a problem today when I was trying to print. When I put the vinyl on the machine, it starts to wrinkle really bad. Here’s a photo: http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp25 … 20_002.jpg
That happens because of the humidity in back line. And these wrinkles can be a possible cause of the misalignment of the cut. Am I right?
