Firstly I thought the 1204 was superseded a long time ago (2008/9) by the 1304 and now the 1324. But it seems to come up on Mutohs US web site so it must be still sold over there. Secondly unlike the bigger 1604, 1614 and 1624 with subtanks the 1204 does not have internal ink subtanks. Meaning...

I have come across this stuff on truck deflectors. So it must be strong stuff. SC

I think on the latex machines you have to replace heads every six months. But they are a lot cheaper......but for how long? SC

We are also in the stages of sorting a new printer to replace our vj1604 or run alongside. We originally looked at the 1304 but I am glad we went for the bigger machine. But on looking at what is new and innovative their is very little that is new. Unless you are moving into latex printers I...

Hi all thanks for the advise but I am in the UK. It would not be wise especially if I damaged a panel and I had not printed it myself. I am not keen on using another design as the customer has insisted it has to be real tree. I am looking at the aurora graphics stuff but it is a lot more...

I have not done a head replacement on the valuejet personally but I have watched it being done and would feel confident to replace one myself. Their is very little adjustment required as all 4 colours are on the same head. I would replace the whole maintenance station as the pump and wiper...

I have a client who wants his Toyota Hilux completley wrapped in Real Tree. Either APG, Xtra Green or Xtra. Does anyone know where I will be able to purchase this artwork? SC

The answer to this question is Desktop all day long. I have had a number of laptops over the years and all have had failures that resulted in the machine been uneconomical to repair. At least with a desktop if a video card, network card or PSU goes down you can replace with a new one. Doing...

Hi Lauren I have a JV3 3 head machine like yours that I have been playing around with for the last year. Which has given me a lot of experience on how these machines work. By the looks of thing your Black and Magenta head is not getting any ink pulled though by the pump as the cap is clean...

I would wrap with the 3M material as it comes of clean. As I say wrapping anything, "it is only as good as the surface you are applying it to". If the materials are flaky it will not work. On a sub note even if these are a temporary wrap they should be priced the same as normal. I had a...

Substance is like Convex material which is used for low energy PVC panels on ATV and MotoX machines. But I firmly believe you will not be able to complete wrap with it as once the laminate is applied to the material it is a lot thicker than wrap material. I do not think their is a self adhesive...

I learnt this secret about 8 years regarding Fridays, it may not be the secret to happiness but certainly keeps you at peace. We used to hold a huge festival in our local town one weekend in the year and in those days we vinyl graphiced bought in banners. Now all the local businesses being...

I am a bit confused with your problem. If this is a new head and it is blocked on the black channels I would send it back to wherever you purchased it. It is most certainly dud. Do not separate the manifold from the head firstly the gasket between them is not a rubber type (at least it wasn't on...

I have been running Jetbest inks through our Valuejet for nearly 3 years now. Absolutley perfect and a massive saving on OEM. As far as scratch resistance I can only say they are as good as OEM or maybe slightly better. Anyway if you don't want it to scratch, laminate it. Fade resistance is just...

WE just completed a fleet of these wagons. The trick is to either not let the two colours meet or change to print at a join (doors/panels). It took about 8 test prints to get near to this colour. Also it was printed on a very high quality print setting. SC

One line pulls black and cyan and the other yellow and magenta. But because they are open on the cap they both will pull a bit of each colour. I would maybe think along the same lines as artbot on this one. These machines tend to thrive if used a lot but can be temperamental if only used...

I have repaired this now. For future reference it was the card reader modules that were faulty. On the yellow two of the pins were bent and on the magenta one of the pins was also bent. This must have been worn for a while and just decided to no longer touch or short. For safety and the sake...

OK then that is looking serious and by the looks of things you have nozzles missing on other colours too. Could you show me the whole test print as I can get a clearer picture of what is blocked? You are going to have to act fast on this, as the longer you leave the nozzles blocked the harder...

Help!

Any ideas people as I am now panicking, I have about 20 banners I have to print tomorrow or I am in serious trouble! SC
