  1. E085 err head heat

    I had this problem when I had to do some head maintenance. You may have crossed the head cables when you installed the print head. When I got this error, I switched the head cables...which caused my f2 fuze to blow and display this error. I switched the cables back and then I got a different...
  2. MUTO vj 1204 black ink problem

    not one nozzle is firing from the whole block? Did you install the stuff yourself? it may not be seated properly and allowing air in
  3. Best used vinyl printer for stickers?

    I chose a Mutoh 1204 (48") system almost 7 years ago and it is still going strong. The quality, ease of use, and simple design. When I thought I had a catastrophic fuze blow out 5 months ago which would render the printer worthless, my first choice was to get estimates for a new 1204. Luckily...
  4. Mutoh VJ-1204 Printhead replacement or rehab? (DX5)

    I would like to bump this too the top to see others experience with purchasing a printhead whether it be a waterbased or solvent based head.
  5. Which mild / eco solvent printer has the most durable ink?

    I've been using a mutoh for almost 7 years, and I will comment that Mutoh ink looks great, but durability isn't the highest. I've tested some Mimaki Mild inks and they can withstand wiping with 91% Alcohol better than Mutoh.
  6. Anyone push cleaning fluid through a DX5?

    any others have experience with this?
  7. Anyone push cleaning fluid through a DX5?

    Acetone definitely dissolves ink quicker than the cleaning solution, but does it dry too quickly and could possibly ruin the head?
  8. Anyone push cleaning fluid through a DX5?

    So I have been having some misfires and blocked nozzles in the black and cyan of my Valuejet DX5 printhead. Turns out the two hoses from the maintenance station were unattached to the captop for over 2 months. replaced the maintenance station and have run a few head soaks/strong cleaning with...
  9. I think I have a HUGE problem....

    As someone who just replaced the f2 fuse on my board, I can tell you this is a motherboard or head cable problem. Before pressing the power button, hold down the up, down, and right buttons....while holding all three down turn on the printer and wait for the printer to say 1. Platen Adj. This...

  11. Inbetween a rock and a hard place

    JV33 for 9K could be a good bargain. What is their on site warranty?
  12. Inbetween a rock and a hard place

    Also, any contract printers who would be able to help me with some die cut labels? can give you the file to look at, no lam, on matte 3164 or basic matte cal. KTCummings@cox.net
  13. Inbetween a rock and a hard place

    I am going to have the tech come by and give me a verdict. Maybe 4000 to fix or 8995 for new VJ1204 If I only need a 30" to 48" machine what is the best option for new or referb? I am not stuck on Mutoh What is a good price to sell my current VJ for parts?
  14. f2 Fuse

    I possibly have an F2 fuse out on my Valuejet which is 6 years old. I've taken a mirror to look at the fuze and it doesn't appear to be blown, and it doesn't look like the new fuses offered by GraphicsOne on their website. What should I be looking for? Where would I get a replacement? Does...
  15. Inbetween a rock and a hard place

    so my Valuejet of 6 years decided that it is done printing. I am still going to have a Mutoh tech come to my business and give it its last rights and make the final call. The unit needs a new printhead, and maybe the f2 fuze will need to be replaced as well. As you all know the DX5 Printhead...
