  1. Paint protection for race car leading edges

    I have had a few requests for paint protection. But for the cost of the proper material and the ball ache it is to fit and template, it is probably easier and cheaper to get the item repainted each time it is marked. SC
  2. Love those customers who try blaming me for their mistakes

    Believe me the guy your dealing with, I bet has no connections in the company. It is his head on the line over the screw up that has occurred. I get at least one customer a week who doesn't know that when confirming a proof, it means "yes it is good to go" It most certainly doesn't mean "Oh I...
  3. Avery Sw900 Yellow on a Maroon Vehicle

    Yes that is fairly normal on all vinyls especially onto such a dark base colour. Some colours are worse than others and that yellow onto maroon is a pretty dead certain for a shade change. As for the overlapping issues, I guess their is not an answer if it has to overlap. I would get the client...
  4. Corel draw X7 Vs. X5 learning curve?

    Well I have been using Corel Draw and Corel Paint since the 1990s and I still haven't got my head around everything. The beauty is that whatever version you are using the next one has more bells and whistles but is the same! I guess the same thing has always followed. I reckon if I learnt...
  5. Will Wasatch Cut

    Oh another thing about earlier versions of Wasatch that Wasatch will not tell. Is whether it will run on windows 7, 8 and 8.1. The answer is a big YES. They uhmmed and ahhhged but would not tell. SC
  6. Will Wasatch Cut

    Big issue with Wasatch is all they want to do is sell you a newer upgraded version of Wasatch. My version works great why should I have to upgrade if I add a new plotter? I maybe could understand a newer printer. Believe me I have tried to get them to add the plotter but they are not willing to...
  7. How to get it through a clients head that their artwork is useless!!!!!!

    I know why this irritates most sign guys and gals, is the fact that the low balling (and their are lots and lots of them) customers who thinking "I can save myself some money here by giving or creating my own artwork". Are just taking the p***! If I use their artwork it makes my business look...
  8. Will Wasatch Cut

    I use Wasatch 6.2 to print from at the moment and use a Mutoh Valuejet and a Mutoh Ultima to contour cut from. I am on with upgrading the plotter and am looking at a Graphtec FC-8600 as I have always like Graphtecs plotters and I am getting a real good deal on it. The issue is that Wasatch6.2...
  9. Graphtec and Wasatch possible difficulty

    I use Wasatch 6.2 to print from at the moment and use a Mutoh Valuejet and a Mutoh Ultima to contour cut from. I am on with upgrading the plotter and am looking at a Graphtec FC-8600 as I have always like Graphtecs plotters and I am getting a real good deal on it. The issue is that Wasatch6.2 at...
  10. How to get it through a clients head that their artwork is useless!!!!!!

    One of the main issues is with Adobe Illustrator CS5 ai, eps Adobe Photoshop CS5 psd, tiff, eps, jpeg* Adobe InDesign CS5 indd - version 6 QuarkXPress qxd - version 5 - 8 Adobe Acrobat PDF** All the customer does is insert the raster file which he has originally made...
  11. How to get it through a clients head that their artwork is useless!!!!!!

    How do I get it through a clients head that their artwork is useless!!!!!! They are claiming it has been designed in photoshop and illustrator. But when I get the artwork it is 72dpi and 3" x 3"! This is to be printed at 5'x5' and is completely useless for what I and they want to use. How can I...
  12. Mimaki JV 33, nozzles missing on all channels

    I have limited knowledge on the JV33. But our Valuejet runs the same heads. So my advise is if it has only just showing this bad head print test, is to change the maintenance stations, pumps, wiper assembly, etc. Also make sure the pump is pulling ink through as they block very easily. But if...
  13. Valuejet 1604 pf current error

    When this message originally appeared we also changed the PF motor as all the tecs said this was the issue. Also the issue went away but then reappeared a couple of days later. It turns out that when you ease the pressure of the drive belt of slightly this will change the shape of the encoder...
  14. How to: Use expired ink cartridges in JV3

    I do not think it will work on the CJV-30 160 as it is a completely different machine. Also with the CJV-30 160 being a newer machine their will be further security measures to prevent you fooling the machine. SC
  15. Help with this one please?

    Cheers for that will try. SC
  16. Help with this one please?

    That's it. But I am having a nightmare, the job is for a damage repair to a customers car and only needs a web address and number! The repair is not worth the cost of the font. The job will go to our competitors if not. Anyone point me to somewhere were it is free?!!!! SC
  17. Help with this one please?

    Hi Some help please with this one. It has come up before but I am at a loss. Sorry about the photo best I could get at the time. The "k" seems to be the most prominent and all the corners are rounded very slightly. Cheers SC
  18. 3M or Avery

    We were using 3M IJ180 and have done so with some amazing results but we were offered a stunning deal on some Arlon DPF6000XRP. We were assured the DPF6000XRP was comparable to 3M IJ180... Well to be honest it added more than 50% time when wrapping something and to call the Arlon material as...
  19. Best time to buy a printer??

    That takes me back to the day our 1604 got delivered. You start thinking "how big is this thing?" Good decision the bigger machine is the bes buy.. SC
  20. Valuejet 1604 pf current error

    The spacer gets inserted in the middle of the encoder disk assembly on the shaft at the front. Roughly around were the three screws are. I had a picture somewhere but I am struggling to find it. If I come across it I will post it. Is your encoder disk touching the sensor or waving about? SC
