  1. VJ-1204 "Not Original Ink" on the printer display

    It happened once here I just call the distributor for replacement of "bad cartridge". That teaches Mutoh it will cost them $$$ for some dumb chips.
  2. Another Gerber EDGE2 Problem: Overheating

    In my experience, the foil is a lot thinner than vinyl, only the foil will tear apart, and sticking to vinyl, never the other way around. Could it be the vinyl hold-down problem?
  3. Thinking of New Sign Shop

    Sign Biz is different than franchise in that they don't charge franchise fee on you sales other than the initial set-up. Sort like a "Association". It is(was) headed by Teresa Young, the president of ISA. The model dated back to 1985 by Banacom Instant Signs, which marketed a system with a PC...

    That design co. has amateur designer on staff. Seasoned designer will always make the outline "scale with image".
  5. A sign to ponder?

    It has come full cycle here. China was happily isolating itself for thousands of years. Then came the Western power forcefully opened their market, I mean using Military Force. Most notably the "Opium War", in which British merchant shipping opium into China for the purpose of corrupting...
  6. Attention all Suppliers or anyone who wants to sell a plotter!!!

    Fred, I wouldn't be so sure about that. There is 14" distance between the two sprockets, one of them has a 1/4" of free play to ease the loading of material. When the material is thick and rigid, the hold-down bar is not strong enough to hold the material flat against the roller platten, the...
  7. Attention all Suppliers or anyone who wants to sell a plotter!!!

    This problem is caused by: 1. the knife tip clearance 2. the vinyl lifted up from the platen while advancing. Tangential knife will not necessary work if the vinyl still puckle-up and knife clearance is not sufficient. Like my Gerber HS15 plotter, will have the same problem when cutting lexan...
  8. Advise Please .....

    What kind of investment & return are you looking for? Salary + profit for your investment. I would look into the hotel franchise as they provide documented financial prospectus if they are established franchise. A while back there was a Signarama franchise for sale: -Asking price: $500K...
  9. First Question- Specific Static Cling Vinyl Needs

    On the contrary, Edge is not good at all for small intricate decals, especially process colors as it has "dot" size limit for all thermal printers. Send a file to the dealer for a test print first. I don't have luck with both Edge or Mamaki printing on static vinyl. I prefer with low tack...
  10. ValueJet refill inks

    This issue comes up every month because many Valuejet owners are interested. If you are not, great. May be you have not experienced the convenience of a bulk ink system. Spoiled by my Mimaki's third party bulk ink system, no warranty issues. We love to print overnight with our Mimaki. How...
  11. anyone buy a printer from matt c?

    Wow, this is what we business owners' worst nightmare! It is like your best salesperson, went out sells $5,000 channel letters for $4000, collected in full, and turn-in $2500 as deposit, pockets $1500. Then the customer gets a bill for $2500 balance. Art Unica is a reputable co & the owner...

  13. ValueJet refill inks

    Kevin, I only see Mutoh Falcon or Rockhopper on their website, so I called them. They say they don't have solution for the Valuejet chip reader yet. Are you using Valuejet?

  15. Sales Tax in Massachusetts

    When in doubt, charge. that way your are covered, customer pays them anyway.
  16. Considering Cyrious

    That is a pretty sick concept. It does not cost them more money or need to have more codes in the program to have unlimited invoices. Would you buy a printer that limit prints 100ft/day, has to folk out more money to print more? I've been using this software for 10 years now since they first...

  19. how to get .cdr to .pdf

    Great info. Thanks Ken for posting of this question and Shovel for the answer. Although we have X3, we stay with version 9 because when we open a file, in ver. 9, just type a few characters of the file name, it will scroll to the target, where in X3, it does not. May be there is a trick for...
