  2. HUGE Tracking issue

    Whenever I have seen stepping of the print on the edge like that it has been the encoder strip (and the sensor) being dirty with misted ink overspray. Usually if it steps that far off it will throw up a head position error and stop printing. Mine is a Mutoh but I'd guess the Mimaki would have...
  3. Streamlining my material stock / What Vinyls do you use?

    I try to keep it simple here, 180c with matching lam for anything considered long term - signs or wraps. IJ35c for most of the temp stuff along with a no name brand intermediate white (read:cheap stuff) for really temp stuff. Single or short rolls of window perf, static cling & some oracal...

  5. Mutoh Valuejet 1304 - Pallette Test Print has a Green Tint on the Black image

    Issues with Gray are pretty common around here. Before you changed out the parts did you have the same problems? With Flexi there is a setting to help keep the Grays neutral - Pure Hue/Clean color - seems to work ok. I have never used Onyx so I'm no help there. Might want start a thread in...
  6. Mutoh Valuejet 1304 - Pallette Test Print has a Green Tint on the Black image

    Your test prints look the same as mine from both Mutohs. I don't think this test shows any issues with your K channel. Have you tried to print some black with known values through your RIP after you changed out all the parts? If your nozzle test is good and you get good blacks for regular...
  7. does anyone print at 540 dpi?

    On a 1304 I use 540x720, 6 pass, fine and wave 2 for intermediate vinyl with very good results. We do a large amount of 40"x40" window posters monthly at this setting. Speed vs quality is just about right for these jobs. The graphics are mixed vector, gradients, bitmaps and text eps files. I...
  8. Mutoh Valuejet 1304 - Pallette Test Print has a Green Tint on the Black image

    Hi, I have an older 1304 and a new 1624 - ran the pallet test on both. I think your print head is ok. No rich, dark black on either of them. The blacks are tinted green - even the border line around the test. I remember seeing this and thinking it was a problem when the tech set up the...
  9. $1500 shaper origin handheld cnc router at the end of this month who's buying?

    Look like registration marks - same as contour cutting a digital print. Think you laydown the tape then pre-scan the tape in the area you want to cut and the app locks the drawing into that area on the screen to keep the router on track while you move it. wayne k guam usa
  10. $1500 shaper origin handheld cnc router at the end of this month who's buying?

    Interesting. We do some contour cut one-off ceiling danglers each month - cut out of 3 to 5mil smooth pvc. If the contour is too complex we send them out to another shop with a table. If the price is right this could be a better fit for us over a CNC with the low volume we do. Thanks for...
  11. Oraguard 210 = UV burn

    Yeah, I did pretty much the same with 2 profiles from Xerox for their rebranded Mutoh 1304 - they worked on most everything I ran except for banners. I've already downloaded the 2 you noted and will give them a shot tonight. Thanks wayne k guam usa
  12. Oraguard 210 = UV burn

    (thread jack) When you say all medias - have you tried them on 3M180c and or IJ35c? I have a VJ1624x (Flexi 12 RIP) and have not found my go-to profiles for it yet. Didn't get the Spectrovue option so I can't roll my own just yet - but if these work I can use the $1000.00 for something...

  16. Oraguard 210 = UV burn

    We've had 210 (on top of IJ35) brown out in what seemed like too short of an exposure time. We keep it pretty simple for our customers: Need short term promo graphics (hold up for a year to 18 months)? - intermediate material Want it to last as long as possible? - cast lam and base. We use...
