  1. Multicam vs ???

    I know you have an old one but just an idea. If you’re handy with electronics you could wire a new et7 control board from puruvesi automation and buy the camera and vision system. It takes a little cnc knowledge to setup and they have awesome online documentation and support. I converted a...
  2. Think it's too subtle? LOL.

    I like it! I once had a septic pumping service that had me put “When it comes to number 2, we’re #1” on their truck. It was well known all over town after a few months.
  3. Best squeegee for large wall graphics

    I make my own squeegees in various lengths using 6mm pvc. I then use a 1/8” roundover bit in the router to round over both sides of the business end. Felt over the rounded edge and they work great.
  4. hey ya'll, newbie here from TN

    Digiprint supplies sells lots of parts for older printers. I have purchased all of my printheads through them over the years. Does the sp540 use a dx4 printhead?
  5. hey ya'll, newbie here from TN

    Im in Tennessee as well and I have a mutoh 1204 i have owned for several years. 3 printheads later all installed myself in less than a couple hours it still prints great and for what i make i have no need in a new one. It would all depend on what you’re printing imo. I have had really good luck...
  6. Not printing

    I had a similar issue a few years back. Testrd a printer and it worked fine. Drove it home and it turbed on but wouldnt print. It was a head fuse. Few dollar fix and easy to do. Im thinking a lot of jarring around on tbe road could have done it. Another lesson i learned the hard way is mine...
  7. Best way to cut Maxmetal, E-panel, DiBond ACM?

    Cut all mine with a table saw with an 80 tooth blade to rip it down small enough to fit on my diy cnc. The cnc is the one tool i wish I had built years ago. And adding a camera for print and cut has really made a difference in my production speed.
  8. JV150-130 Weird print issue.

    I dont own this brand if printer but I had an issue on my mutoh before and I swapoed head cables as well. Turns out i had a dirty encoder strip. I also have similar issues when the ramp on my printhead gets gummed up with ink and i have to remove them and clean them. Just some things to look at...
  9. Importing images w Flexi

    Inkscape is like a free alternative to illustrator and Gimp is a free alternative to photoshop. Great videos on YouTube on how to use both of those.
  10. Importing images w Flexi

    I had this issue several years ago. I could open the png via flexi but not import via flexi. Now I always use photoshop or illustrator to convert it then it works just fine.
  11. Flexi question

    I used a graphtec f8600 to cut helmet decals that were 20-21 mil with the 1.5 blade instead of the .09 and although it did the job it always left blade marks and would scratch the print. For the blade to be out the length it needed to be the material would bow up and the blade would drag. I...
  12. Mutoh 1204 HELP

    Those wires in the flat ribbon cables are tiny and can easily be damaged. Probably just from the head moving back n forth over time. They are fairly easy to change. Just make sure they are installed the same way they came out and do the best you can not to crease it. If it doesn’t fix it let me...
  13. Mutoh 1204 HELP

    I just dealt with this same issue on mine. I cleaned everything 3 times then I decided to change head cables. Mine would only do it on cyan and black. So I decided it was either the head or the head cable. There are 2 head cables one runs cyan and black one runs yellow and magenta. Digi print is...
  14. Mutoh 1204 random lines in print

    I’ve all of a sudden developed an issue where my prints are get random diagonal lines where it isn’t supposed to be. I have cleaned the encoder strip and encoder on the left side thoroughly thinking it could be the problem. The prints are also fuzzy in some cases as if the printhead is out of...
  15. Mutoh 1204 missing all black nozzles

    I am missing all black nozzles after a recent manifold change. I recently installed an oem maintenance station and I installed all new dampers. I managed to break the manifold on the black so I purchased a new one of those and installed it just today. All was working fine then I started missing...
