Hi Over the last few years we have used Avery Dennison Squeegee Pro as our preferred application squeegee. At the end of last year Avery in their infinite wisdom changed the felt material that was applied to these. The felt now fails and wears out at a quiet horrific rate and is costing a...

I print all IJ180 prints at 1440x1440. I know this is slow to print but the prints are stunning. This material is so expensive it seems crazy not to use your best print settings and leave it over night and print the lower resolution stuff during the day. SC

Can you show pictures of where the magenta ink has leaked. Most problems with blocked nozzles on these machines is due to either blocked pumps or bad seals on the capping station also gummed up wipers can be an issue. I tend to fill the cap with a little cleaning fluid once a week. This keeps...

I have Signlab 9.1 and have tried the new Signlab 10 Demo and can confirm that they are also useless for importing pdf's. Even though the latest info on version 10 states that it will import these files with ease it doesn't. They are also fairly useless at importing anything that had been...

Over the last 10 years or so I have been purchasing and updating our vehicle outlines from a company in the UK. I am beginning to see a larger discrepancy in the outlines. Although they look correct, when creating graphics to fit the panels their can be up to 1" or more difference. In the UK...

Oh dear. Guess I would be getting my eye sight tested first. Whether you can read or not, the issue is how to print and apply the materials. Also choosing the correct material. I guess you will need reasonable eyesight for this task any way. Back in the 1980s i remember here in the UK to become...

Enchanting..................NOT

Personally I think this is just wasting money. Unless buying from somebody reputable second user machines that are not in working condition are a huge money pit. Also make sure you have a lot of work for a digital printer as the more they are used the less problems you will have (My Valuejet...

We have recently tried the new 3M Envision Print Wrap Film 480Cv3 to replace IJ180Cv3. It prints brilliantly and the laminate is super glossy and almost crystal clear. The only issue is that compared to IJ180Cv3 and even stating that 480Cv3 has controltac re-positionable it most certainly does...

My Easymont EM-1600SH is a heated laminator. We have had some issues when running this machine slow. I was just wondering whether their is a recommended speed to use. SC

I am trying to see if their is an issue with to what speed you should laminate vinyl graphics. I am having some issues but no where in the manual does it state how fast it should run. Can someone please help? Cheers SC

Ooops I forgot about the CMYK bitmap support but this program should have had that once it started venturing into digital printing many years ago. It seems everything Cadlink are trying to do with this program is about a decade behind corel and adobe. I wanted something breath taking, but it...

I ran the new version 10 for the trial period. I was not impressed. Their is nothing new. Supposed to be faster than the old 32 bit program but in 64 bit format it actually took twice as long to perform a supersize task!! It still runs as previous in separate windows, which I was so hoping it...

. Good luck trying to make any money with this. The materials are expensive (only buy substance or convex). Also the plotter you use has got to be up to cutting very high pressures (I wrecked one). The outlines for the panels are constantly changing every year and sometimes you will have to...

I get this all the time. I agree the customer only sees price!!!! Only way to try and curb this, is to give them a cheaper option (such as non illuminted and smaller) and let them compare. 9/10 times they will choose the expensive option. Maybe give the customer a polite message to ask why you...

Personally I would insist the client gets a decorator into strip and prepare the surface of the wall as we are signmakers not painters. Also I agree the better the material the better the application. This is a bit like any piece of vinyl application, it is only as good as the surface it is...

Thanks all Seems very odd that Mutoh have fitted this port and then we are not use it. Is their a driver so I can run it as such and can I still use it on my RIP? SC

I have an issue that the ethernet socket is failing on my Valuejet 1604 and needs to be held in a certain way for it to work. Does anyone know where I can buy a new ethernet socket to solder onto the board. As Mutoh are saying the only way is to replace the whole board, which is huge expense...

I have noticed lately that a lot of the IJ range has been down graded, as far as what surfaces (complex or flat) they are compatible with. Seems to me that some of the issues we have previously had with some of the materials (lifting etc.) are now because these materials are not suitable for the...
