If you have nothing left to lose you can SATURATE a cleaning swab and CARFULLY dab at the black channels on the head. I recently did this on a new to me 1604 and after many attempts I got back the majority of the black nozzles. I know it goes against everything that you hear about not touching...

Soak a piece of coffee filter with cleaning solution, lay it on top of the capping station and park the head. Re-wet the filter every 20-30 minutes. Run a cleaning after 2-3 cycles of this. Keep doing it as long as you can recover nozzles.

Man, I can hardly believe Mutoh would say that - are you sure this wasn't said by your tech or the company you bought it from? How long ago was this machine installed, and di you buy it new? I can honestly say if I bought a new printer and the manufacturer said 5% missing nozzles on a new...

Good stuff!

Had our AK-600 for almost 2 years now. Great machines for the money once you get used to them. I guess the only thing that I find you have to be careful about is setting the roller pressure - and the fact that you have to adjust both sides evenly. Once it's set your golden, but if you've ever...

Order 8 and replace them all.

Typically this is caused by having a very recent version of firmware. With each update Mutoh makes it more and more difficult for 3rd party ink manufacturers to make compatible cards. I run 3rd party ink in both my 1204 and 1604 and both are set to really old firmware and I have no intention...

Now that's funny - don't care who you are. :ROFLMAO:

Have you ever replaced your dampers or maintenance station in 4 years?

Is this a ValueJet? Are you using OEM inks? Is it saying this for all colors or only a few?

OK, I've got one for you. Several years ago a new medical center was opening and the company I worked for got the whole package for their printing. Letterhead, note pads, prescription pads, post cards, business cards and several other items that all totaled around $5,000. (All of this was...

As has already been said, much depends on your business model. However, I think if cost were not a deciding factor I feel a standalone cutter and individual printer is the overall best scenario for most shops other than those mostly doing print and cut stickers/decals with no lam. However, if...

OK, so did they confirm a problem or change in the amount of material we've all been getting? How long has this been going on? *FWIW - I think I've only used 6-8 rolls of 8518 this year (Probably what you go through in a week) but still, sucks to pay for something you're not getting...

very true!!! :ROFLMAO:

For those relatively low quantities, AND assuming that the same bulk address can be used on all cards (without specific route numbers) your best bet would likely be to have them printed a batch at a time as Mark mentioned above. *FWIW - I just checked my pricing with my wholesaler and 10,000...

Yes, but might be a PITA and I would guess you need to do it with backing paper and extra hands. I'm guessing you'll have to have at least one helper on the delivery end madly cutting apart the signs and ideally another person trimming off the edges. Plus of course you or someone to constantly...

What kind of quantities are you talking about? For our bulk permit (in which you don't change addresses over the length of the run) we run an AB Dick offset press and a laser plate making system which is about the best way we've found to do them. However, I'm sure there are a host of both...

Gary, try our mutual friend and Mutoh guru - he should be able to source those for you. *oh, and "ouch"...that sucks.

Agree with just about everything here - however, still not sure the "1 man" had everything to do with it as has been implied. But, I feel the message they are sending to other schools is a strong one; "Clean up your own messes when you find out about them, or face worse consequences."
