  1. s60600 Epson Provided Profiles

    I'm not an expert on color like you are but in my experience I have had two Mutoh ValueJets who's serial numbers were one apart and they were installed in the exact same room on the same day using the same inks. When they printed the first job using the same profile, there were slight...
  2. Question ICC profile service question for Signs 101 users

    That's what I always tell my customers. The boxed profiles will print red reds and blue blues but if you want to choose a Pantone color from a swatch library and have it print the exact color without any adjusting or manipulation, you have to profile your own.

  5. Question ICC profile service question for Signs 101 users

    This post should put to rest all of this other posts that ask, "Which profile should I use?" A majority of sign guys make their own and it's for a reason!
  6. s60600 Epson Provided Profiles

    It is impossible for a 3rd party to create a profile that will be color accurate for your machine, in your environment. The only way is to make your own or just try every single one you can find and hope to find one that is close. Boxed profiles simply exist so that you can print out of the box...
  7. Cutting Metallic Vinyl

    You might want to switch to a 60 degree blade if the material is thicker. If it is reflective you should absolutely be on a 60 degree blade. Also, make sure your cut strip is not damages and replace as necessary. Check the blade for a broken tip as well.
  8. UCJV300-160 purchase - looking for input

    I had a meeting with the regional sales guy at Mimaki the other day and he said the person on Signs101 who was having issues with the white was having the issue on a very specific brand of material. They eventually figured it out but it wasn't a common issue across machines. We have our demo...
  9. Discussion Thick label material.

    I have a customer who uses a 6 mil vinyl for this very reason and it works well for them. Anyone can just slap the decal on with ease.
  10. How long can you go?

    Mutoh heads are about half that price. If you maintain the head, replace the maintenance items when recommended and avoid head strikes, you should get 5+ years out of a head. With latex the heads are much cheaper but you have to change them multiple times per year. I don't have access to any...
  11. .pdf to Word

    Download Open Office or Libre Office, create the letter head and then save it as a DOCX file. Those programs are free and are good to have around anyway.
  12. Need Help Mutoh VJ 1204 Head Reolacement

    Unfortunately not anymore. Most of our customers work on their own machines and we only do tech work in the Colorado area. We do work with a few independent techs around the country but our guy in NC retired a few years back.
  13. How long can you go?

    As a tech I see 3 to 5 years as an average for head life expectancy. It seems to be a combination of proper maintenance and pure luck. The oldest working head I have seen was 13 years old in a Mutoh ValueJet and the guy just kept really good care of it and ran the printer every day.
