Mimaki JV3 160S Printing problem
I have a Mimaki JV3160S Solvent ink plotter and a summa D120 cutting plotter.
I would like to exchange info about the mimaki printer.
I´ve been having some problems when I print 2 pieces of the same image.
When I join the prints the color is different on each panel.
For example, on a water image that was split on 3 panels i had 3 tones of blue. Each panel was a different blue (the last one was almost violet).
The technician tells me that no other machine that he works does anything like it and that he does not know what is the cause of the problem.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pedro,
The problem could be coming from your rip software and not your printer.
What rip are you using? I got the same problem when nesting jobs in Flexi Sign Production Manager. Got it working correctly after uninstalled and reinstalled the program. Or try nesting jobs in your designing program and send to rip as one job.Heng

Hi there., thanks for the post.
I´m using photoprint 3 for ripping files, but what I usually do is to crop the image on corel on all the panels that I want to do and print them as unique jobs.
The technician tells me that my JV3 is the only machine that has such problems and the solution that he gives me is to buy another machine (JV33), and that is out of question for now. -
If you examine the colours in each of the panel files, using say photoshop, the same colour values should match exactly. Is the colour difference between panels a result of colour correction variations when you save the files?

there is normally a shade difference between each side of the paneled print.
most rips allow you to send the whole image then it will panel it for you and ask for the amount of overlap.
it will also ask if you want to flip alternate panels which when the prints are put together the difference should not show.i used to split it in to panels in corel till i learned to trust the rip.
practice with smaller parts so you get to understand what the rip is doing for you, its worth the effortyou may still have a printer problem i dont know but that is the standard way of doing big panels.

When I print a file on my jv3 and the plotter during the printing asks me to change the chip, I must do it quickly because if I take to long when the printer restarts printing it gives a sound sign and damage the panel I´m printing.
That´s Why I split the panels and rip them separately.
The chip i´ts not the original mimaki chip on the ink cartridge. The plotter has 2 small boxes on the rear where I connect the chips. -
I have just had exactly the same problem, on a full wrap of a Sprinter van, before I even got home the customer phoned saying they wanted it removed. This is the first of possibly 40 full wraps, and has really caused a major problem.
I am thinking I need a new printer and rip too. I have Signlab 7 and the JV3 130sp printer. Could have cost me a big contract.

Not seen this on our JV3, we use Shiraz 6 Server Plus and print from applications – tiling is done via the design app always on the rip.
I know this may not help this thread but does underpin Chris’s post.
