  1. Getting printer ready for storage

    Hey guys, wanted to see if I could get your opinions. What should I do to get my printer ready for storage? I just replaced my Mutoh Valuejet and am putting my old one up for sale. I don't know how long it will be sitting so want to take proper care of the heads. Should I run an ink flush? Fire...
  2. Calling all Mutoh Masters... Valuejet problem

    Alright... 1 day in. Still flabbergasted. I've cleaned and cleaned, and it would appear I have got all the contamination out. but this banding is out of control. I can print a patch of C M Y K and they're "ok". Not great but honestly sellable. But green? Holy crap greens are just horrible...
  3. Calling all Mutoh Masters... Valuejet problem

    I'd say contamination issues for some reason, but PF might be part of it. So for parts, anyone got a good suggestion on sources? CMYKparts only has a complete station, no tops? Ebay came up as a no go as well. No local dealer that I'm aware of.
  4. Calling all Mutoh Masters... Valuejet problem

    Never replaced the maintenance station and probably long overdue for cap, now that I think of it
  5. Calling all Mutoh Masters... Valuejet problem

    Eh, there's some breaks in there when I run a nozzle check.
  6. Calling all Mutoh Masters... Valuejet problem

    Curious if any of you could help me diagnose what's going on here? I have a Valuejet 1204 and been getting some weird horizontal banding, and a lil wash of colors into others. Most noticable when I'm printing GREEN. Any ideas what's happening here? My good juju is fading I'm afraid.
  7. Anyone want to do a hood wrap for me?

    Alright, so here's what happened. I got a hood from a car in to get wrapped, my printer is just a few inches too short to do it in one piece. So if anyone around Vancouver/ Portland area that wants a hood wrap job... I'll give you the hood, the design, you just print and install and you can bill...

  9. Portland, OR - Need company to wrap van in less than 2 weeks

    Hey guys I have a project I need done for a good customer. It's a sprinter van partial wrap. Just like 1/3 wrap and some logos...but they need it done asap. Anyone around Portland, OR want to take on the project? I can help provide the artwork files.
  10. Oracal costing me money

    I still love their products, but I feel your pain. Their laminate likes to stick to the paper and once in a while...does ruin a print we're running through the laminator. I've given up on the 3751. I had such high hopes and instead it turned out to be garbage. My last roll I used up on some coro...
  11. 3m Bright Orange..... I despise you

    I agree 110% Found the Gerber in Portland and it's on it's way. Thank you guys! :rock-n-roll:
  12. 3m Bright Orange..... I despise you

    Yes but this is the 3rd time cutting these and I'm trying to make the job as easy for both of us as possible. I'll consider it a part of my customer service to try to find a easier/cheaper way for one of my top 5 customers. This should've been a 1/2 hour easy job but the color, and availability...
  13. 3m Bright Orange..... I despise you

    Anyone got any ideas to help me out with this one? Here's the rundown. Need to do a pair of stripes for a show car. Pretty small, 6" x 6' , just a pair of them for 1 car. Customer didn't like any Oracal orange but found a 3m Orange that matched perfectly to his powder coating. So there's my...
  14. Need sintra cut and in my hands by July 6... any takers?

    Either honestly works. They're for awards that I'll be applying a digital print to.
  15. Need sintra cut and in my hands by July 6... any takers?

    Not a huge job but not really that hard either. Need some sintra routered out into some sign shapes. Have about 15 pieces at 15" square that I need done. Will supply vector file for cut. Anyone want to bid me on this?? I'm in Vancouver, Wa so either local or shipped...as long as I get in time...
  16. Name and shame!

    My initial reaction would be that he would suffer a harsh backlash...but I see him weekly and it seems the opposite. People think him a hero for it. People are fickle, to say the least.
  17. Name and shame!

    Let's hear your guys opinions. Have you ever name and shamed someone who owed you money? You know the type... The ones who always skirt around paying you, ignore your calls and emails or come up with a million excuses. They exist in both our personal lives and in our professional lives. It's not...
  18. Anybody ever use 180C on ATV Plastics?

    I already know you aren't going to listen to me, but I'll say it anyways in attempt to save you trouble. Full wrapping an atv doesn't work. It peels up pretty easily. Throwing $ into a firepit is just about as productive.
  19. VJ-1204 Ink Smart Card, Chip fix

    Lava ink is still around? I almost brought a lawsuit against them. Their disgracefully poor quality inks almost cost me my business. Every job I printed got returned to me, cost me a head, pump, lines etc. Nothing against guys going bulk, but you can bet I'll always remember the time I tried...
  20. Everyone is a designer these days

    :peace!: I of course quoted all options to them including screen printing and recreation of the logo and setting up cutlines to print and press apply. When I said I'll have to turn it down, it's not because I am not capable of producing this artwork (quality of the design not even being...
