  1. Older FC7000 -100 problem with ARMS contour cutting

    Just recently I had the y motor go out on a graphtec 7000 signwarehouse version VInyl Express machine. I had an another y motor left over from another graphtec fc7000 so I replaced it and got the machine up and running again. I did a factory reset prior to replacing the motor to see if that...
  2. Ada Compliant Question

    This is what I found.. Thank you to everyone for all of the informative posts. 703.2.7 Character Spacing. Character spacing shall be measured between the two closest points of adjacent raised characters within a message, excluding word spaces. Where characters have rectangular cross sections...
  3. Ada Compliant Question

    Yes it is pretty vague. I agree with that.. As of right now I sub out both the tactile and braille. I've been toying with the idea of bringing it inhouse and using the my laser engraver to do the tactile, but the braille would be another story I have a multicam router, but I think it would be...
  4. Ada Compliant Question

    I thought the same,but then I saw this Advisory 703.2. I don't know if the laser edge would be considered sharp or abrasive. It would be a square edge.. What do you think? I pulled this from the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design see Advisory 703.2, 703 Signs 703.1 General. Signs...
  5. Ada Compliant Question

    Hi everyone. I have a quick question, Is laser cut tactile lettering for ADA signs considered compliant. I thought I read that the edge has to be broken?? Any info is appreciated. Thanks,
  6. Channel Contaminatio And "overspray" On Printing

    In case anyone was curious.. It ended up being a bad printhead. I replaced and all is good now.. oh and I put new dampers on too..
  7. Channel Contaminatio And "overspray" On Printing

    So I thought the problem had went away, but it's back now. It seems to always be on the left side of color being printed. I will try cleaning out the drain lines and check the outcome. What's interesting is if I run the printer with a banner profile (4 passes as opposed to 8) then there is no...
  8. Channel Contaminatio And "overspray" On Printing

    I am having a couple of issue with my mutoh vj1604 and was hoping to get some insight. The first issue is I am getting ink backing up(channel contamination into the lines) equivalent to what would happen if you did a head soak for along time. It typically happends when the printer sets over...
  9. fc7000 x position error

    Thanks so much.. I am going to give that a try.. I assume you mean the power cord from the wall to the unit correct?? I came back this morning and it started working again... It's so crazy!!!
  10. fc7000 x position error

    I have an fc7000 that has started giving me a recurring problem. When doing a (f1 key) Rear set to initialize the material, the x motor frantically spins and cause an x position error. It will not work for awhile and then it will start working again. I called graphtec and they said it's the...
  11. Solid CMYK Black has slight red hue

    So I turned off color correction in Flexi and it works perfectly.. Thank you so much!!!
  12. Solid CMYK Black has slight red hue

    Thanks for the info.. I think I read on the mutoh site that the 1204 and 1604 profiles were interchangeable, but I could absolutely be wrong. I'll give it a shot and see what happens.. Maybe I'll see if I can grab a 1604 profile for the material as well. The firmware on it is 1.06, but I don't...
  13. Solid CMYK Black has slight red hue

    Hi there. I have a mutoh 1204 and 1604 that run both the same flexi profiles and same material. The solid black (k=100) on the 1604 seems to have a slight red hue to it as compared to the 1204. I just put a new printhead in the 1604 out of an Epson r1900 printer. The nozzle check is nearly...
  14. 1204 F2 fuse-Looking to buy

    I got some from Digikey as well, but I believe Graphics One in Burbank, CA has them as well.
  15. Aftermarket wipers for Mutoh dx5 head
