Yeah, I was surprised too - and I didn't have to ask, you just click on the usual $10.00 shipping charge and that is all they charge...? Again, we've done a bunch of these big ones and cost never varies unless we do more than 1,000 s.f. at a time, and then they give us a better break per s.f.

FWIW... We routinely do 15x30 banners for a local organization and we send them to Signs365 who skids them and ships them freight for their usual flat $10.00 shipping. They don't roll these banners - they fold them and put them flat on a skid to ship. Have done over a dozen this year and...

That is most likely the culprit. You're probably losing seal at the head and as such your head isn't getting enough suction to clear those plugs and keep up with the ink flow. I would also suggest if you've never replaced dampers it might be a good time to do that as well... However, other...

Yes, I would be sticking with bulk ink (JetBest) using a Nite bulk system. I just talked to JetBest who said that they do offer cards for this machine, but at an add'l cost. So yeah, I guess there is that to consider. However, the price I'm being quoted is so good, I'm having a hard time not...

Most who know me realize we run Mutohs here at our shop and both my 1604 and 1304 are running fine. However, there is some really good pricing right now due to Mutoh's year end sale. Looks like best price I've found is from SignWarehouse for just the 1624 printer - we don't really need the...

Is the spray primarily black and/or magenta? If so, most likely head height is too high. If you are running in high, try to use the low position. If you have recently replaced a head, it may need adjusted.

+1, Hit the nail on the head.

If you are hearing a "dragging" noise then something is physically happening to put drag on the carriage. I would thoroughly clean all 4 points of contact on your rails, double check you don't hear any squeaks or grinding of the bearings on the carriage assembly. (Those can and do go out.) I...

Thank you!

I stand corrected, I was thinking of the DX5 head, my bad.

Personally, I wouldn't go with the Daige. Lots of threads on here with various problems. For the money you can't beat a laminator from US Tech. Very simple, rugged machines that do what they were made to do. http://www.bestdgi.com/index.html

To my knowledge, you can't use any water based printhead for solvent inks. Apparently Epson makes 2 versions and the main difference is the plastic used. From what I have been told, if you put a water based printhead in a solvent printer, it will work just long enough for the solvent to melt...

Agree with OP - that is a great machine, supports up to 30" rolls, very accurate and should get you by until business grows and the time comes you need to buy bigger to go with your printer! :smile:

As I have been told, (again on Mutoh systems with DX5 heads) there is a small measure of pressure (vacuum) that is necessary to keep the head functioning correctly when it is sitting idle on the cap top. For example, you will start experiencing head drop out or nozzle clogs if you have clogged...

I have Mutohs - but I believe captops need replaced when they start causing or showing problems. Unfortunately, because most tops are a rubber-like material there can be issues even with brand new ones not sealing correctly because of some minor flaw or defect. As long as you are sure you...

Agree wholeheartedly. Without having the business built up, you're taking a huge gamble while chaining yourself to a 4-5 year liability. Trust me when I say a leasing company is going to have an iron-clad contract so they will get paid and hound you to your grave until you do. Personally...

Nonsense. Stop and think about it - a "Roland" tech telling you you shouldn't buy anything but "Roland" ink? Hmmm... I am not here to defend all 3rd party inks, because I honestly don't know all of them and I am sure some are better/worse than others. However, if you talk to those in the...
