  • misting since changing jv5 printhead

    Posted by stephen flynn on April 8, 2010 at 3:06 pm

    i have just changed all the print heads in my jv5, they are genuine heads from mimaki but since changing them the prints are coming out with a mist off ink all over them i was wondering if anyone has come across this before and can help.

    i have jv3, if this would be jv3 then:-

    1: head id not correct
    2: only effects 1 channel of ink then your shorted out the slider board resistors
    3: u had a bad head

    did it happen straight after u changed? or hours after?

    we had mist of 1 block of cyan, after a head change
    eventually the machine stopped with an error after a day or so
    basically it shorted out the head

    common cause is getting the wires in the wrong connector at the time.

    but i dont know how the jv5 works
