great thread. I am fed up with deco lit too. the smell is horrible!!! watson signs... I am going to try out your suggestion: Ultraflexx supersmooth PET blackout. Hopefully that will be a permanent replacement for me. just a side-note: I use two suppliers for my deco lit light block...

I have the same problem with this material. It's the only true stay flat I have found but the smell is atrocious... it's disgusting. How anyone can sell this to their clients and not have it returned due to the serious odour is beyond me. I had been told that they had dealt with the odour...

update: i passed on the mutoh. for a couple grand more I bought a used roland SC540EX with full one year parts and labour warranty came with a couple rolls of vinyl and full set of ink.

lots of ways to bypass ink waste container. my mutoh uses the bottom of a plastic bottle for waste ink. You might have to bypass the sensor though if your machine has one.

i like the way you think.

Im about to decide on whether to purchase a Mutoh valujet 1204 The supplier has a demo machine that has been on the floor for 1 year. I've enquired as to number of hours on machine (I'll post as soon as I know). They are asking $10,500 for the machine. with 90 day warranty. comes with Flexi...

thanks for the input guys! appreciate it a lot. I'm going to try the ink density thing. wondering why it's pooling on a standard test print though... straight off the printer, no rip.

i thought the maximum media width was 50" on the 1204? didn't know you could put 52" in it.

good question. yes the printer came with two roles of media that the guy was using before I bought it. one role of avery adhesive vinyl and one role of glossy banner scrim.

Flame... yes. I had to weigh the option of my time vs. money though. I've spent a lot of time in the past month just to get where I am. It seems it's taking a lot of my time and if I keep going and get into retrofitting heaters etc. It's just starting to add up to too much time...

So I think I might have to admit defeat on getting my Mutoh RJ6000 up and running for my business. The printer was converted to eco-solvent ink before I purchased it. The guy I bought it from had all the old parts that had been switched out... he replaced everything. The printer...

Question.... has anyone had any luck converting a pigment or AQ printer to eco-solvent and had success printing on uncoated media (vinyl and banner material)? I have a Mutoh RJ6000 that was converted to eco-solvent. But there are no heaters. The printer is operating very well with the...

hi, obviously if you read my recent post, you'll see I had the exact same problem. the root of the problem for me was with the dampers... try this and let me know if it works.... pull all your dampers (one at a time) and use a syringe to make sure ink is flowing through each one. re-install...

not that I can see. Is that what has happened? no dongle and the RIP reverts to demo mode? I think I'm going to contact the guy and see if he has the dongle.

I had a breakthrough night tonight.... I'm burning the candle at both ends trying to get this printer up and running (on my off-hours late night).... but I have made some great progress. I now have 'close to' perfectly aligned heads, and my test prints and nozzle checks are coming out pretty...

here's the nozzle check. I know its not aligned, I'm not there yet. Just trying to get it printing properly. where the black is, there is yellow firing underneath. so it would seem all inks are firing.... but this doesn't look right to me.

I'm in the process of fixing up an old RJ6000 that has been converted to ecosolvent. I've got it to the point where I'm doing some preliminary test prints.... When I do a nozzle check I'm getting what looks like: M, C, K(overtop Y), LC, LM. When I do a test print... all that is...

thanks for your input guys! glad to see there are other people out there that have done what I'm in the middle of right now :) question... now that you guys have your printers operational, what is the print quality like with this unit as far as banding goes. I know this is an older...

thanks Chorca. what i did was take the capping station out... just the top part that snaps out, and put it back in place. voila... full suction now. I was able to extract ink into the waste lines! and an update on my progress on refurbishing my RJ6000. Last night I flushed out all the...

figured this one out. it was the ribbon that attaches to the motherboard for the cartridges.... When you open the box that contains the motherboard, the ribbon that attaches for the cartridges is very short, and when you swing the box open, it will disconnect from the board... you can't see it...
