We have a old graphtec signjet pro2 which has the hp 2500 printer built in. This was marketed as a sign making machine but was far from it. It used expensive inks and print media also if you wanted it to last longer than an hour you had to laminate it. I personally would avoid it as the only...

Just to add my bit!!! I normally get bored with a job after the fourth or fifth change! I normally tell clients at about the third change that too make any further changes will incurr into the overall budget of the job. My latest client wanted a whole new look on her newly acquired premises and...

Sorry, but trying to explain PPI is different to DPI. The only problem is they work in DPI and explaining PPI is a head ache! I realise I will have some designing and tweaking to do but I just want to scare them from doing it themselves. SC

I have a customer and he is determined to design the wrap onto his own vehicle. I don't want to sound like I don't want his effort but I want to give him a list of what size and resolution of artwork I require and in what file format. My question is what do I want to ask for? I am only asking...

Yes it has some great new features. It still has got the smallest/useless manual of any design programme I know of. I'm just a bit confused that you can't see solid cut files just for the plotter in VPM and you still have to use the old cut manager. SC

Well after a year of contemplation and lack of funds. We have just bought our upgrade from 7.1. This now gives us 2 designer and 2 print and cuts. Desperatley needed another designer and managed to get it a free copy thrown in with the deal. Now I have to spend the weekend installing and...

We have had this problem before!!! Anything we make or supply is made to twice the specification for projecting signs and then securley fitted. I had a client who has now called twice to say we haven't fitted a projecting sign properly and on both occasions it had been hit by a vehicle and...

As the tiltle says how many nozzles blocked before you would need a new print head? Just a little question as I would like to know as mine is now coming up 5 years old and has in total 5 blocked/dead over the CMYK. I reckon if I knew then what I know now when we first got our printer their...

That's it..... Thanks a lot SC

It was like a cabinet or a plastic bin with fans in it!!! The guy showed you how to make it on here I just can't find it anymore!! SC

I have seen someone posted a way of building your own out gas print drying machine. Can anyone direct me to this post?? Thanks SC:toasting:

I was told to only run the head height high for banners! I have noticed blurring when printing self adhesive with the head set to high. SC

The head height is set to high for printing banners and low for self adhesive vinyls. So if my vacuum is meant to turn off when the lever is lifted how do I reinstate this? SC

My question is:- Should the vacuum turn off when the lever is lifted? SC

Media stays on track. But it has got difficult to align it properly as the vacuum is constantly on. SC

I think when the machine was new the vacuum went off as you lifted the lever. It seems to be on all the time now. Is their a way of changing the vacuum and when it comes on? Their seems to be a lot of suction so I reckon it is working OK. SC

I have tried all sorts!!! It is as if the heaters are not heating all the way across. SC

This is mainly adhesive vinyl. It head strikes with and without the take up reel/bar. SC

On Vinyl mainly. The cheaper the material the worse it is! SC

On our VJ 1604 I have been encountering more and more head strikes. I have changed material suppliers but I still have problems. Even knocking the heaters down or off still gives me problems!! Is their anything I can do or should be looking at? One of my vinyl suppliers said it was the printers...
