Not sure of all your options out there - though I bet it's better than here in Ohio. Bottom line, if you're buying new biggest factor will be the service provided by your vendor. I would make sure they have speedy response in the event of an issue, and that you speak to several of their other...

Welcome. As someone who just recently purchased a printer, I can tell you that doing your research will pay off. Spend the time researching the pros and cons of each machine's size and capabilities. Only then will you know what you really need. For the time being, it is very easy to sub out...

Just an update for the morning crowd. I read up on a similar problem on the SP300 & 540's and it appears to be the data ribbon/cable that runs in the track above the head. Apparantly, these things wear out and/or get dirty. I was able to clean it up a little and have been able to nurse a few...

Just got a problem fixed today with my new printer, now my CX-400 wants to get in on the act. I went to load some material late this afternoon and after hitting the enter button the carriage/head traveled all the way past the last pinch roller and returned to home saying "reset pinch roller"...

No objections Bryan, hope I never have to deal with that issue again.

YEEESSSSSSS!!!!! Finally got the situation resolved. Very weird, and still don't know what to think of it. I was dealing with Chris at Mutoh (very nice and patient guy BTW) and he suggested I get a new crossover cable. So at lunch I stopped by our local Radio Shack to pick up a cable. In...

Hi Randy, I tried downloading and running the SEND.exe file from Mutoh's website. Unless I am doing something wrong (hard to say since there are no instructions) I am getting a connection denied message. Still not sure what the issue is. Cable? Computer? Printer? etc.? I can ping the...

So if throughput is the issue, what is the cause or remedy? Computer has a P4 2.8 and 4GB of ram, so I can't think it's processor related. Do I need a larger drive, or perhaps faster drive? Or should I be looking somewhere else? *Sorry, not an IT guy.

Tried switching cable - no dice. I'm running through the ethernet port on the MOBO - not a card. Mutoh says it can't be a printer problem or the printer screen would show an error. FWIW - this seems to be size related. If i RIP at a lower resolution I don't seem to have any issues. However...

Firmware is 1 version back from the current (1.17 or something like that - I was told by a Mutoh tech it is up to 1.18?) No firewall setup as this is a standalone RIP station not on our network. I was able to complete the job by lowering the resolution to 540 x 720 instead of 720 x 720. I'm...

OK, Mutoh VJ 1204 - Wasatch 6.5 The RIP computer is a stand-alone box, direct connected to the printer with a crossover cable, no switch, router etc. I can ping the printer with no problem... I've printed some small things since getting my printer up and running last week with no problems...

Welcome.

I believe your confusing the SC-545 with the SC-500. Here is an SC-500 (almost identical to a CJ 500) http://signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2595&highlight=sc+500 Here is an SC-545 which is the bigger 6-head Pro II machine...

Older Roland printers like the SC 500 hold their value pretty well, especially since there are still people out there making money with them. While the SC 500 was considered a solvent printer, it was actually a modified CJ-500. it didn't come with any heaters originally - Roland later offered...

Sweet!

I was hung up on the whole "wrap" issue too. However, just realize that ProWraps (above) built his entire business with a 48" machine doing multiple wraps weekly until they bought a 1304 a few months ago. I think that should speak volumes of the capability of the VJ-1204. *On the other hand...

I just picked up a VJ-1204 less than 1 year old with take-up which should arrive this week. After months of debating the 48"...54" ...60" issue I decided to go with the VJ-1204 because I got a great deal and for 90% of the work I do it will have no problems. In the event I need something...

That's just awful. Prayers for the family.

I did recently hear that the SP-540 would be discontinued and replaced with a new model. Not sure if this is the same thing though..?

Whipped this up while sipping my coffee...needs some tweaking but I'm too lazy this morning.
