Recommended Maintenance Procedure for Mimaki JV3 Printer

1. DisWay Wash: located in the "Station menu" under "Maintenance." Should be performed every 2-3 days to clean the waste line to prevent clogging.

  • With a lint free swab and Hilord's Analog Solution, clean the rubber wiper, and then manually push the wiper back to its original position.
  • Fill each head's capping station with Hilord's Analog Solution 3-4 times.

HEAD AND WIPER MAINTENANCE

1. Carriage Out: located in the "Station menu" under "Maintenance." Should be performed each morning, between large prints, between rolls, after the work day (if printing over night), and as needed.

  • With a lint free swab and Hilord's Analog Solution, clean the rubber wiper, and then manually push the wiper back to its original position.
  • Manually slide the carriage to the right until the heads are visible for cleaning.
  • Using a lint free swab and Hilord's Analog Solution, gently wipe any ink build-up surrounding each head. DO NOT WIPE THE SURFACE OF THE HEAD.
  • Once completed, perform a "Normal Cleaning."

2. Cleaning type [NORMAL]: press [test/cleaning] button located on the control panel twice.

  • Should be performed after the "DisWay Wash" and "Carriage Out" maintenance and as needed.
  • It is recommended to do this between prints if heavy prints are done and when rolls are changed.
  • Strongly recommended to never use the [STRONG] cleaning cycle.
