  1. Thinking of buying the SignWarehouse Vehicle Wrap Kit

    The whole 48" argument is total BS. As the owner of a Mutoh VJ 1204 I have found solutions and lots of media to fit my needs. My Fellers rep initially told me tales of woe about finding 48" media, which simply insn't true. Actually, he's singing a different tune after I asked why they would...
  2. So what is your hobby

    Perfect, but I would also add fish. :rock-n-roll:
  3. Mutoh's New (frustrating) Ink Cartridge

    Are you speaking of a change in a particular model's ink cartridge? I have not seen any difference in my Valuejets cartridges.
  4. Yes, you can get arrested....

    I couldn't agree more. If the sign had strictly torn out the section of fascia it was attached to, then that would be better proof that the weight of the sign was too much for that portion of the wall to withstand. The fact that the majority of the wall failed, spanning across several...
  5. third party ink

    Not really sure if any truly reliable options are out there to do this yet. I know several other VJ-1204/1304 users that are looking for a reliable solution. Only thing I could suggest is looking at Grimco's 20/20 inks. The good is that the ink is great with same color profile as OEM and the...
  6. Business Models

    Interesting, may have to invest.
  7. Can Mimaki Print and Cut like Roland

    Vikram, I would bet most of us in the USA have never even heard of the machine you're talking about. So I find it unlikely anyone would be able to give you a report on it's performance. One of the many major considerations I gave before purchasing a printer was the ease in which I could...
  8. Getting into screen printing coro signs

    +1 :thumb: *Take a look at this video and realize shops like this one are already setup and printing coro signs at cut-throat margins with high speed equipment. Even if you can "technically" save yourself a few cents per sign, is it worth it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx8OB5Zl_h8
  9. High End business cards $198 each anyone need 1000

    That whole site is filled with "must-have" items. Check this out; http://www.japantrendshop.com/pet-emergency-evacuation-jacket-p-694.html I'll certainly be glad during the next zombie uprising or earth killing asteroid crisis that I had fluffy's emergency pet jacket packed with his liver...
  10. Can Mimaki Print and Cut like Roland

    1. Can't say about the Jaguar, but Graphtec and Roland are both reliable machines. Just realize you'll need a model that has the ability to optically read registration marks. (Roland GX-500 or Graphtec 5000, 7000 or 8000 series) 3. I know with my Summa which is run by Wasatch, I waste...
  11. Coroplast/Foamboard Cutter

    Don't have one, but have heard good things if you only need to cut non-rigid substrates. (and Merchant Member here) http://www.signs101.com/pp-classifieds/for-sale/p364-wall-mounted-mat-cutter.html
  12. which magnets to buy from fellers?

    Yup, 30 mil Magnum Magnetics is the ONLY magnets I'll use for vehicles.
  13. Convex Wasatch Profile?

    Have you called Wasatch?
  14. longest print ever?

    My longest was just over 120' (not quite a full roll) printed an entire large box truck wrap plus the back roll-up door. My Mutoh never missed a beat, just kept chugging.
  15. how do you deal with the heat!!!

    Getting in at 5-6 AM helps a lot and then trying to knock off as early as possible. We open all the doors and bay and let out all the heat from the prior afternoon. Then we button up around 10-11AM and deal with it the best we can. Printer room and entrance room is A/C but the shop is not...
  16. valuejet ink problem?

    +1 on the cross contamination and blocked nozzles. (Also, you didn't say what model ValueJet you have.) This could be the result of numerous things, but if you have a 1204/1304 I would first take off your side cover and do a thorough cleaning inside. I recently did this to mine and was...
  17. So it's been a while...Economy check?

    Things have been steady since April. Still crankin, and tryin' to keep up. No complaints here other than not enough hours in the day. Hoping it stays this way well into the holidays.
  18. Sign Painting Kit?

    Awesome list, going to have to come back to this thread once I get some down time. I could really see myself getting hard core this winter learning this side of the biz. Gary, great post - and thank you all for your replies!
