We have a Valuejet and a Ultima plotter this is all run through Wasatch RIP. We are having problems contour cutting over large lengths as it runs out. Also afterwards you can get different errors at the end of the plotting saying media not long enough etc. Does anyone have this problem? Or...

LOL I think it's time for a new plotter. Who is still using a 4B to make signs must be real poor or real tight?! Throw it in the bin buy some new technology things have moved on a little bit since the 80's SC

Over the last month our VJ1604 has run unbelievably well on inks. To the point now that the cartridges come up C 7 M 18 Y 1 K 14 Normally these can register 20% and then suddenly go to empty. Do I have a problem or am I being paranoid! Or have I knocked a ink monitor off? Thanks SC

I started my sign career just as these came out in the UK they were marketed by Spandex. We went right through all there machines IV, IVB, Sprint, Supersprint. We had all the digitising tablets and add ons. The 80s were some of the most innovative times. I remember having all the latest...

My warranty has come and past but if we are to repair/maintain our machines (Valuejet 1604) ourselves. The price for a service contract in the UK is even higher than the US. I need a maintenance manual!!! TecDaddy I am willing and able to do the maintenance but I first need the information on...

I can't believe someone would sell this guy a brand new printer and not put OEM inks in it!! It has already invalidated the printers warranty! Who sold you the machine Joop? SC

Good luck if you can find a service manual. I have been looking forever and they are a very closely guarded secret source of information. SC

Cruzer I was on signs 101 and you were saying maybe you could get hold of service manuals for the valuejet machines. I have a vj 1604 and am looking for a service manual for it. Many Thanks Sean

I have a fade on a sticker that fades from Black to Grey. Problem is it fades but it has a red tinge to it. I have tried different ways of creating it but still can't get it OK. It was originally created in Signlab but since then i have tried corel and adobe all with the same result!!! Your...

I have been told by a few different sources that my machine can/cannot take the 440ml cartridges. I noticed the latest 1614 have the cartridges on top of the machine and they are the 440ml. Can someone clear this question up for me as I can save money if I can fit 440ml cartridges. Thanks All Sean

Does the machine go through the actions of cleaning the printheads. Do the X and Y axis move at all? Is there a set of inks in the machine? We have a JX2150 and only use it as a plotter now. It was pretty expensive to use as a printer and the inks were a fortune. SC

Anyone using a bulk ink or refillable ink carts on there valuejet? SC

:banghead: Still having big problems with this media sensor. The problem is if I cover the media sensor the machine thinks there is no media in the machine!!!!! There must be some way of by-passing this. I have called someone to adjust this and the tech guy didn't know if it was possible...

Our 1604 clunks but it is the ink lines moving. I mentioned this when it got installed. SC

Not to sound to dumb but how do I soak the heads. To be honest we have had absolutley no problems with this machine since purchasing it over 13 months.

I had a headstrike on our VJ1604 yesterday and after doing a test print have found some of the nozzles not firing!! I have only once before had this trouble but after a couple of strong head cleans it sorted itself out. I have left it over night and more nozzles are now firing but still not all...

Well here is the problem. Every now and again I get a end of media when there is loads of media in it! There is now very little light as I have started to knock the lights of!! There is no media buckling.vv bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb...

Vinyl is thinner than electrical tape! It all comes off eventually. Need to be able to knock the sensor off SC

Jim That is already set to OFF! SC
