+1 on gorilla glue - it's what I use, but be watchful of the expansion and I typically use clamps.

I've always heard great things about Island Clean Air Dusters (ICA Duster). Pricey, but I guess they do a great job in print and paint businesses. *Also, they have an adaptor (Fume Pro) for their units where you can duct your printer directly into the unit. http://www.islandcleanair.com

Yes, I have the AK-600 and what works for me is to stick the leading edge of the laminate down on the back edge/corner of the laminator frame. Then I slowly lower the top roller - making sure to do it as evenly as possible. (If you lower the right all the way and then try to lower the left...

Sorry to be late to the party. FWIW - I had something similar going on with my 1204 a few months ago. Turned out to be the sensor that reads the encoder. I know you said you cleaned the encoder sensor, but did you actually look at it? The clear lens over the sensor eye on mine had developed...

Any reason you can't break it up into 3 or 4 smaller pieces? Much easier to handle and keep your cutting consistent.

7-up will usually help settle a sour stomach :)

I am not sure what you are seeing when you say "fade". If you can post pics it would be very helpful. It could be clogged nozzles that are freeing themselves as you print a little. But if it does this every time, it more likely could be an electrical issue or loose wire in the head. Does the...

Agree, the 3551 is probably the closest match to IJ-40. FWIW - 3651 is more akin to IJ-35 IMHO.

sorry, just got your pm this morning. Well, try to run a few test prints and see what happens. If all is good, then you have likely solved the problem. However, keep in mind that typically on these Mutoh VJ's the maintenance station itself is the key to many print related problems as well as...

Hard to say based on the limited info you're giving. If I had to guess, I would say it's more likley you're running into the issue where the sub-tank valves will tend to "stick" and this is why your sub-tank isn't filling. Maybe give some more history and info on how/why this is happening and...

Best I've found for our 1204 is Sihl 3686. Great stuff, but does take a while to dry.

Have been running JetBest inks in both our 1204 and 1604 with DX5 heads. No clog issues to date and the 1204 has been running JetBest for over 2 years. If you need more info on them please shoot me a message.

Could be a heat issue, but if it's happening at random I don't know. How long has it been since you cleaned and re-greased your gantry rails? Sometimes if you let it go, gunk and grime can build up, or the bearings in your head carriage can start sticking, and make weird patterns like you're...

All depends on how hungry you are. If this is a job with good margins ask yourself "Will it kill me to shave off 5-10%?" This way you're closer to their $2900 figure, more likely to get the job without giving it away, and the customer feels like they got a deal. As Gino is fond of saying...

You should be able to "RIP only" which will rip the print and cut files to the Que. *Trick will be whether or not you can remember EXACTLY how your layout was done in the layout screen. If you allowed Wasatch to space it out, you should be fine. If it was manually done, you're probably S.O.L.

Hmm, that type of problem "could" be an encoder issue. Could you post a pic of your output? If you replaced the encoder strip, be certain it is clean all the way across. No ink spots or even light smears anywhere. If you see any, clean them off. Also, a recent issue I had was the "eye" on...

Humbling - only word I can use when I see his work...

Yes, I think it was going to be their new "house brand". I believe Gary at Circleville bought some to try. Drop him a line to find out his experience.

Contact BigFish - a Merchant Member on here. I believe just a month or two ago he was promoting a new line of wrapping cast and he offered a trial of 1/2 roll of the print media and matching laminate for like $399? *Not sure if that price is exact, but should be pretty close.

Oh where do I start...but here's a good one; Rednecks, white socks and blue ribbon beer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3iVHxP8FQ
