  1. Big Squeegee Sale

    Typically, you'll notice it starts getting thin and might start leaving scratch marks on your laminate. We use the heck out of ours, especially the yard sign tools. I've already gone through one set of replacement felt from Dale, and this will be my 3rd set of felt for these. Thought I needed...
  2. Big Squeegee Sale

    Dale, I would have loved a slitter, but the 3 older BS I have really need to have their felt replaced to be useful again. ;-)
  3. Van wrap... and one big problem!

    Next time you need to use Oracal 3951 RA with the 290 laminate.
  4. Big Squeegee Sale

    Crap, just ordered this morning. Any chance you can let me update my order?
  5. Um, Ya, You gotta watch this

    Bravo!
  6. How many cartridges per month do you use?

    On average I'd say about 4-8 mutoh 220ml.
  7. Cheapest OEM Mutoh ink?

    No, can't do it on the 1204's without using another chip for the rest of the ink which pretty much negates any savings.
  8. Optically Clear Laminate

    We've been using 3M's 8518 and have had good results.
  9. ValueJet 1204 without smart chips

    Seen something a long time ago about having to downgrade your firmware to a really old version and also I think you had to have an older model JV-1204??? Maybe someone on here can clear that up for you. *Just curious, what ink are you going to use? Companies like FieldCenter and JetBest USA...
  10. Print brokering?

    IMHO - there is nothing wrong with trying to broker offset printing. Just realize you will have to find a very competitive company to partner with to make any money. You can thank online companies like VistaPrint, etc. basically whoring everything out at next to nothing. Most customers will...
  11. Recommendation for optical sensor plotter

    Another vote for Summa - love mine. Here is a link to what a Summa S class can do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFmp2ZFp6ok *You can see the types of labels they are cutting out and the speed of which it is being done. I have no doubt the accuracy is spot on.
  12. Looking for current best deal on 13 oz. banner material

    Drop a line to Bigfish - he had some crazy low prices on banner material not too long ago. (He's a MM here too.)
  13. new printer

    Wait, are we missing something? You mean you bought a new Mutoh and it is having headstrikes?? :help
  14. new printer

    The newer Mutohs (Valuejet line) are far superior than the old Falcons, etc. I've been running my 1204 for nearly 2 years and it is a workhorse for my business. Last week it printed 6 full rolls of 38" x 120' banner material, a full roll of 48" IJ-180 for a box truck wrap and van graphics, as...
  15. How do you handle customers who approach you about services?

    I think you have to deal with these issues on a case by case basis. A new customer that calls wanting you to drive 20-30 minutes to discuss a $75 banner is one you'll have to inform that you have a travel charge or convince them that everything can be handled via the internet. If they...
  16. Head Soak and Clean

    You can get a bottle of Mutoh ultra cleaning solution from Fellers for around $26 for a 250ml bottle. Should last you a long time. As far a soaking your head many folks have used plain white coffee filters. Just soak one with the cleaning solution, lay it on the capping station and park your...
  17. So what are you wearing to the Royal Wedding?

    I'll be wearing my tuxedo t-shirt because it says I want to be formal, but I'm here to party. :rock-n-roll:
  18. What is the best cutter for JV33?

    The cutter won't be that big of an issue. Mimaki cg130 and the Graphtec 5000 will work, but also so would a Graphtec 7000 or 8000 series, any Summa and any Roland Gx series. (I'm sure there are a few others, but those are the big boys.) You basically just need a cutter with an optical eye to...
  19. joe report Monday 4/25 2 AM Final...

    Great news to start the week off. Hang in there Joe.
  20. Ripoff?

    Barry, as I understand it the customer is PROVIDING the shirts to the printer. The printer has NO INVESTMENT OR COST in the shirts. The service provided is PRINTING THE SHIRTS - NOT SUPPLYING & PRINTING THE SHIRTS. The customer has asked to be charged for PRINTING 144 shirts. The vendor...
