I appreciate the replies. This customer is already doing various print related items for them like biz cards, envelopes, etc. So it is "their" customer and I appreciate their trust which I certainly won't jeopardize. The only thing they are doing is sending me the EPS file for the artwork. I...

We have a handful of accounts that we wholesale to, nothing really major like some of you guys. One of these is an offset print shop that typically only buys banners, yard signs, decals, etc. However, they have a customer that has 2 box trucks that need print/cut lettering made and...

Looks like an old Colorspan Displaymaker.

This is a dead giveaway that air is somehow getting into the lines. I highly doubt the MS has anything to do with this. Typically, you have a loose fitting/not tightened correctly, an O-ring that has twisted/smashed/not seated correctly, or you have a crack in your air line(s) somewhere. Yes...

Agreed. Have you ever replaced the MS on this 1604? If so, how long ago? If not, then this is likely the cause of your woes.

Look at your dampers and see if any are not quite as full as the others. Typically they should all be about the same height/fullness across all the colors. If those are OK, then you need to look for air bubbles in your black lines. Perhaps there is a slight leak near one of the fittings or...

I have the US Tech AK-600 and bought it the start of last year from Tony. There was a bit of a learning curve at first, but after you get the hang of it they're dead simple to operate. Laminating is more of an art than a science and until you have some experience under your belt you'll more...

Saved the DX5 head on my (new to me) 1604 by ultimately doing this and repeated head soaks. I filled a clean syringe with solvent and attached a line between it's nozzle and the nozzle on the manifold. "Gently" is the key word here, just barely enough pressure to make it trickle. On a DX5 you...

In all fairness, the 1608 is a "flatbed" printer and uses a completely different ink set (Mubio Ink) which is much different than the eco-sol used in your Roland or the regular ValueJet line. However, I feel the regular ValueJets are great printers and I couldn't be happier with my 1204 or...

I'll go ahead and throw my .02¢ in, this is of course all based on my experience and my opinion - FWIW... I run both a 1204 and 1604. The 1204 I've had for 3 years, the 1604 I just bought used this spring. Both of them are shut down every night, weekends and when not in use. The 1204 ran OEM...

That pretty much answers your question, doesn't it? I've only had a few materials that cause problems with our 1604 and 1204. However, instead of beating myself up (or the printer) I have basically eliminated using those materials altogether and found suitable alternatives.

Randya or Stealthrider are Mutoh gurus. I would PM them and see if they can give you some pointers. Please be sure to post back to put this knowledge into the forums.

Are you talking about die-cutting decals, or something else? *Oh, and what kind of quantities are you talking about?

I don't believe Grimco carries black in anything larger than 4x8. Of course you could buy 5x8 white and paint it, but I don't think you're wanting to go that route.

Inks are sold!!!

Hey guys, I forgot I had these and need to get them gone. I rec'd these about this time last year to test when I was on the hunt for a 3rd party ink for my 1204. I decided to go with a bulk system instead. These are SignWarehouse brand Endura Inks, 220ml. Never opened, still sealed in the...

IJ-35 with comply is usually less than $200/roll for 54".

Changing the manifold is basically the same process as changing out the print head. If you are mechanically inclined you can do it yourself. Once you get it removed you just unscrew the manifold from the print head, swap in the new manifold and re-assemble. I believe you can download the...

Another vote for the Summa. I have had a D-140 for almost 2 years and love it. On a very few occasions (like 3 or 4 times) I have had a weird issue where it wouldn't read the marks no matter what I did. Typically I would shut down and go home for the night and then next day it was fine. Not...
