This problem will never go away. The real problem is the CMYK ink sets on digital printers. Yes using spots or RGB is better but you will never get a rich deep red or orange or green or burgundy! The only 4 colours for definite you can print is Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Black and sometimes the RIP...

Scare this client off as their is double the work in the door jams than the exterior. I had a client on Tuesday after the same thing and he choked on the price. Clients wanting door jams etc. should really be taking the vehicle to the paint-shop. This person is wanting so much more than what...

We are running a valuejet 1604 with plotter and laminator. Now over 5 year old and has been the best investment ever. we are still on the original printhead! you no the saying "print your own money"? Well this is it signs, banners, labels, posters, vehicle wraps etc. I am thinking of adding...

Yes it is so difficult to make customers understand high resolution raster and even harder to understand what vector is.

Hi Speaking from exactly the same issue. I was badly informed that upgrading to the latest firmware it would solve a tank valve issue I had, it did not. Mutoh has put some sort of subroutine on the new V2.0 firmware that does NOT allow you to downgrade the firmware. Believe me I tried every...

Has no one had this problem? SC

LOL I thought that but that is a left hand pointing right, not an arrow. SC

Just had a customer in wanting a:- Left handed, right facing arrow. WTF!!!!! Anyone help me on this? SC

I am in the UK. You will end up in court and blacklisted if you do not pay the supplier or the guy that made the job for you. Chalk it up to experience and never let the two meet or have any contact with each other. You should have got the materials delivered to you and then delivered them to...

Every now and then when cutting a file from wasatch the plotter does not read the cut marks and destroys the print if you are not watching! We are running a Mutoh Valuejet 1604 and a Mutoh SC1400D plotter. It is as if Wasatch doesn't complete the cut file properly after processing the print...

I get 3 to 4 request for carbon wraps a week mainly roofs or bonnets. Over 90 percent freak so i just tell them to go price the real thing. In most cases we are cheaper than the paintshops to do a colour change. I reckon they just see sticky back vinyl and think cheap! SC

I normally do not critique but this time I will. You may as well get a bucket of red and a bucket of yellow paint and throw it over the sides of your trailer for all the advertising space that has been wasted. This is a typical MX background which can be to fussy and distracting to what's going...

Check the capping station is sealing properly. When you do a clean is ink coming through the pipework, as ink can easily harden and block in these machines Check the encoders are clean as that looks very uniform. SC

I'm reading Spike Milligan War Memories their are about 7 books in total. I'm on the last one and I don't want to finish it!!! Spike was a genius of life and comedy. SC

Matt I thought this either the customers or bodyshops job. We clean and degrease the vehicle prior to application but in no way would I be undertaking claybaring a vehicle before application! The customer must be made aware that the vehicle must be presented clean and you will be further...

Mike N I have been running non original and a bulk ink system for over 3 years now with no adverse effects. It is so easy for techs and original suppliers to blame inks other than their own machines. Mind you I would not use aftermarket inks until the original machine warranty finished. I...
