I have printed on reflective before and the ink just sat on top and it did not dry. I am running ecosol inks in my mutoh vj1604. I would print on clear then apply it to reflective and overlaminate it. SC

Magenta gets used the most on any CMYK printer as it is the one colour that is used for a lot of colours. Also the more you use it the less waste is used to keep it clean, sounds weird but it does. Lastly the machine takes I think almost 1/2 of each cartridge to fill the sub tanks and relevant...

Hi I would love to do a lot more vehicle wrapping and use our printer to its full extent. But Initial costs for design work and then cost in materials severely make this form of advertising expensive (at least in the customers eyes). I realise that it is all about selling vehicle wraps as...

I would like to test your material.... I'm in the UK though but that would give you an even bigger market. Cheers Sean

I thought the artwork was pretty good. Most of my customers expect me to be able to extract the idea from playing .... Guess what I'm thinking of now! I don't mind rough sketches and one of my best money makers was sketched on the inside of a cigarette packet. SC SC

I have used window etch film which gives the same result. SC

A local car franchise asked us to do a chrome wrap on a off roader we hit them with a huge price mainly due to never doing a chrome vehicle. They ended up sending it to one of our main competitors who wrapped it for quarter of what we quoted! My business partner was at a local car show where...

This is a very very hard colour to match, sometimes it looks too dark other times it will look to dull. The problem unless you have a printer with orange you will never come anywhere near with a CMYK printer. SC

I have also come across this problem. I don't know why but it doesn't always do it. Must be solvents of the glues on the vinyl coming through, So I always cover any sign blanks going out in silicon backing paper and tape to the rear as their is always rolls and rolls of that as waste of the...

I would not be happy with a new print head! Your machine was bought new and then replaced with their demo unit, which is second hand?!! The only thing I would be happy with is a NEW printer. If you buy new it should work perfectly. My 1604 is nearly 5 years old and I have only one blocked black...

I wish I was back on v1.09 firmware as you have total access to all the machines functions. Did you know that Mutoh have now written the firmware in such a way that you cannot downgrade back to a previous version! I initially was told that upgrading my firmware would excercise the tank valves...

Azmaestro We have had no problems using Lyson/Nazdar inks (until the firmware update!) I am currently running a bulk ink system with no problems for the last 3 months. The price for these inks is roughly £25 for 500ml which is a massive saving. No blockages or dodgy problems with smart cards so...

I think the housing you are on about is the pump. No you shouldn't be able to get air through them, or very little. Once you have the new maintenance station installed pour a little cleaning fluid into it and do a head clean. You should see the fluid and ink coming through the pipes to the...

Why are you updating the firmware? My reason for this question is the main reason Mutoh updates firmware is to STOP users using third party inks. Believe me I updated to 2.0 on our 1604 and magically it no longer accepts Lyson/Nazdar cartridges anymore! So if you are using other suppliers inks...

GAC05 i've pmd you. Cheers SC

Josh I'm just looking for the elements. I appreciate the time to build into the finished item!!!! I have allocated 20 hours of design time. I'm using this as a company showcase and also a way of learning to fine tune effects in photoshop, illustrator and Signlab. Cheers SC

Hi Josh In reply to your post about the tank wrap. The Vehicle is a 1992 Volvo 940 Station Wagon (it's a tank already!). This is white in colour. All I am really after is the basic elements as vectors wheels, tracks, vents, ammo, etc. I understand I will have to do a lot of custom stuff on it as...

I am trying to create something like the tank vehicle similair to the one on http://arizonacolor.com/ A number of wrap artwork suppliers are advertising this same vehicle but are stating when asked they cannot supply this. I don't need the exact one but I'm looking for something similair for an...

You can get close to this colour but you will be limited using cmyk. Chads mix is about as close as you can get. Please do not use this to recreate Monster logos or graphics or as Sightline saysthey will come after you! Just try to remember the only 4 colors a CMYK printer can print correctly...

I have had this error and the grinding noise. I have found that it is mainly caused by the wiper assembly sticking because of waste ink around the base of it. So the remedy is clean this area thoroughly once a week (you should be doing this anyway) making sure the wiper assembly is not stuck...
