Parts are available, sort of. It's limited, but CMYK carries a few of the regular consumables; Mutoh carries the rest. The machine isn't made anymore, you're correct there.

You can't. You can only extend the print margin of the 1204 to a "true" 48". The 50" is the width that the machine will read and still not throw an error code. I tried an experiment today while this very thread was forming: loading a full 54" banner roll. It wouldn't read the roll - got an...

Yes, that's the diamond grade. I should have been more specific in that there is no flourescent "regular" reflective vinyl, stuff that the average shop can cut on a plotter.

There is no flourescent reflective. It's either yellow or it's not. Two colors of yellow available through multiple suppliers.

Well... all the trucks in this area have single sheet reflective right over their diamondplate. It's not the 3930/4000 diamond grade, just the 6800/6801 conformable reflective. Seems to suit them just fine, as their chevron stripes are laid over the base color. I've never tried to lay the...

Hmm.. my Falcon had a black head cartridge... (you have an email, btw). The dial (that wasn't on mine) would seem to indicate a head adjustment front to rear. It wouldn't have anything to do with the heads not firing. But all your symptoms are identical to what mine were - I finally bit the...

Your eyes must be brown, Gino, being so full of it.... :ROFLMAO:

Wellllll... I see an opportunity to make a sale. Wouldn't you have stopped and pointed out the irony?

Parallel is a relative term. Always line it up with a body line - it's the first thing your eyes will find. I'd be willing to bet if you did that, they wouldn't have batted an eye. But overall, I might have brought the orange into the topper just to blend it in a little.

X3. And the metallics used are aluminum, so no chance with "re-alignment" happening. What I have seen, in addition to the mottling left by detergents under a wet mag, is micro-abrasion by dirt/dust under the magnetic happening by simply never removing the damn thing in the first place. You say...

Sorry, I can't see that image, or any variation thereof as being "trademarkable". The phrase "The thin blue line" may be, but certainly not the graphic. If that was the case, there would be a whole lotta lawsuits going on with some racing stripe creations. I deal with the local PD on an...

PM me with your email. I can send you the manual in a .pdf . It's for a Falcon Jr., but from what I understand they are basically the same except for the print width.

Got the same emailed ad. Can't fault Mutoh for trying to upsell on their printers; it's got nothing to do if you can design or not...

Hi Jim, Well... I certainly won't discourage you from getting into the biz... in fact, if you wanted to use me as a sub for jobs I'd be glad to help. With so many shops in our area competing, it only makes sense to have some as a sales source. PM me if you want to stop by to see what it takes...

Yep... welcome from right down the street. There aren't much call for magnetics in this area because... well.. there just isn't. Most of the contractors are better versed in the pros and cons of magnetics and opt for just lettering their trucks. Feel free to contact myself or JP (we're...

It will definately vary depending on the construction of the letters. Indoor stuff, if they are light foam letters, I'll stick with VHB only. Bigger pieces or heavier PVC, I'll stud and tape. In both cases I'll run a pattern of actual vinyl and apply that to the wall. The vinyl is always close...

You'll spend more time (hence money) looking for that blank than cutting one yourself and either painting it or wrapping it in vinyl. You won't find double black anyway, only black on one side and white on the other.

The brief period I had mine (2 yrs) it worked well... when it worked. Mine, at least, needed constant maintenance to produce a print I was happy with. It finally died and I upgraded to a 1204... which was one of the better things I did for the business.

$150 seems way low to me, too. The last set of stripes I installed on a Mustang - provided by the dealer - was listed on the window sticker as an option for $1200.00. And no, I'm not kidding. I couldn't get that for striping a car if I tried!

I partially agree with Flame - define how he wants to present the company first. Personally, many of those incarnations are pretty good for a logo, but definately drop the phone number!
