Ooohh.. good lateral thinking! I like it - and give it a shot! Thank you!

For a PD of course, 4 hours away and they want me to match the graphics that the now retired previous shop did. And, of course, the best photo they can send. Beaufort seems close, but it doesn't have the "clipped" ends of the serifs. Tried Google font searches, Find My Font and all those and...

That's what I was looking for - transparent, not translucent - since it would still have to reflect. The only two "grey" that I could find have a very brown tint to them.

Usually printed, I know. Just got a job for a PD who's existing fleet is pretty much all grey reflective striping and copy. I told them upfront that the color match wasn't going to happen, and even when I print weird colors like grey on reflective there's always that strange tint when it...

Ink end is just what it is. You don't want to run the line dry. Get a new cart. Good little machines if you can get the parts - I had one for years.

I appreciate the rdi being looked at. My current tech/seller is still supporting with the warranty. Once that ends in the summer, don't know what the next step will be.

I can't do that. I've stood by my techs for many years, I can't change dealers now. That said, they've stopped carrying Mutoh equipment, so if they stop selling the inks, I'll have to switch somewhere.

If they honor it, it should be covered until 7/24

IF you could get answers, that would be awesome. Feel free to PM me if necessary. As I mentioned, Mutoh America has washed it's hands of this machine and my tech service - they are providing zero support.

Ok.. so if it has the current firmware, that may rule out that issue. From your other posts, you're obviously have experience and contacts with other Mutoh techs. So why does Mutoh corporate want to keep their techs in the dark? Seems counterproductive to me that there are "proprietary" error codes.

Interesting.. I'll pass that along!

Following up if anyone is interested; errors still persist on this new 1324. It all centers around the chip reader(s), or at least the software that reads them. Mutoh America sent out a Fluke line monitor right before Thanksgiving to see exactly what's happening in the power to the machine...

I'll add to the list for a manual for a 1324x. Thank you!

I never had a card fail in my 1204 when I had that printer. I may have to look into the generic cards, I'm still waiting for Mutoh to make up their minds on whether just to turn the card readers off permanently or not. And right now, I don't care. I just need to get work done. They're convinced...

Yep, tried all of that. It has the newest firmware since it was just installed. Just so frustrated with the entire process. Mutoh has been less than helpful in the past and god forbid anything is said against the company. No wonder they're losing money every year.

Someone tell me who has one of these POS's that they have issues with them as well? I don't know who recalls from last year the fight I had with Mutoh to replace a brand new 1324 as it seemed to be a lemon from the get-go. It just would not read the chip cards at all (more specifically, it...

That's a little different Stacey. If it's wrapped into your property insurance, it's not specifically for vehicle graphics. It covers graphics since the vehicle would be in your building.. maybe.

I'd love to hear from the guys who are just doing vehicle graphics and who you are using for insurance. I was just tapped with this today - got my renewal, had some questions, and my agent said "oh, you just do vehicle graphics? I didn't know that..." bs - I've been with them for nearly 20...

1324x. Never ran correctly since I bought it new last year. Part of the problem was traced to the actual chip cards not being placed correctly on the cartridges - apparently there was quite a large batch that was affected. I'm surprised that you didn't see any of that. Mutoh Japan actually...

Don't be so sure on that. Mutoh has been having major issues with chips for the last year.
