All i can say, is such a fusy client paying for even understands why we can't match everything! I state "all colours on our system are a simulation and therfore cannot be matched 100%. Our system is just CMYK I pity you if you are running CMYKOGLcLm as you will be expected to match everything...

It was pinting pefect before the headstrike. It most definitley was because of this. I would be very upset if a single headstrike destroyed a head. I keep this machine very very clean. The head and docking station are as clean as the day it was commisioned and this has payed dividends as it...

Well I went out this morning I had a couple of fitting jobs and left the heads in soak again. I've came back and it works:beer:ROFLMAO::rock-n-roll::notworthy::toasting::brittain: Now back to real work.... Thanks All SC

Well I have got in this morning and the test print is all OK except for the black which has all but dissapeared completley. I am panicing now!!!!!!!!!!!! I have done loads of head cleans and even a little charge. Help I have to get 20M of Print done before end of closing today. It is 9.40 UK...

Just some standard Self Adhesive Vinyl nothing special at all. SC

I just can't believe one little head strike has caused so much problems. I hope it is all sorted for the morning:doh: :toasting: SC

Great I can get some sleep then....lol Thanks SC

Well I had a bad head strike on our VJ1604 today and normally after a couple of stong cleans it all comes right.:banghead: Well today it wont come right I am missing nozzles all over. I have gone back into work tonight to see if I can get it going as I have a huge print run in the morning but no...

Who thinks of these programmes?!!!! That is out of this world. What will they think of next? SC

Removing graphics is a PITA at the best. Once you have gently heated the vinyl off I usually wash the whole thing down with stamdard thinners. This is a messy and time consuming job. Remember this is why you have been offered this job. If it was myself I would of turned the job down or gave the...

LOL I spend soooo much time trying to explain to customers that I can't "enhance" their sh**ty artwork. What really confuses them is whenyou ask for a vector file!!!!! The best/worst customers are when they give you and awful low quality raster so you ask them for a better quality file like an...

I recently wanted to add my old Graphtec as a plotter on our version of wasatch 6.2 but was told the driver is available but I will have to upgrade. Now I know this is an older plotter than what we currently use but it cuts at a higher pressure. I am not willing to upgrade as it works OK...

Our stock is completley changed every 12months. 10 years old is rubbish. Some of our suppliers are saying shelf life is only 12months. SC

I have a friend with a JV3 and his lost communication and couldn't figure what had went wrong! To cut a long story short (4 days shorter!!!) It was the desktop printer which was also plugged into that pc that was conflicting with it. We knocked it off and hey presto it was back working. So the...

Come on people. I have given in complaining about colour matching as it is always an ish on a CMYK printer. I now have good bright blue, reasonable burgundy, fantastic dark green and our shop vinyl pallete is closely matched. I can print a grey fade but it works better on some of the higher...

We run a Mutoh Valuejet 1604. I have a friend who had a SP 540 and has just upgraded to a Valuejet and reckons the ink useage is comparable to the SP 540. It will probably take about 6 months to figure out how much the ink useage is. Is this your first solvent printer? SC

You cannot say how much per square metre as different prints use different amounts of ink. I honestly have given in worrying how much ink our machine uses as it is such a cheap consumable. The only thing that is an issue is when printing at best quality how much time it takes. I would print...

I don't know how everyone feels ab out this issue. But I am a simple signmaker who over the last few years digital printing has become part of our business. So why do we have to learn how to set up print profiles? It is such an awful nightmare trying to set these up. My job is making signs...

I had a kind gent on the phone on Monday at about 4.30 wanting some signs for a building. "Will you come round and survey the site now" I told him I couldn't get out till Tuesday Morning. He rang back Tuesday morning as I was on route!!!! He wants a whole load of internal signage which is of...

You bet I'm charging. Don't know how I'm going to charge them when they see I've gone with my original design....lol SC
