  1. Adobe Illustrator: Error 16. What to do about It?

    Check out youtube. They have a bunch of videos on it.
  2. Anyone else like buying domains for the fun of it?

    The internet is comprised of millions of servers. The actual way the internet works is much more complicated than what you see on this forum. It's just too much information for one person to explain. There are many different levels of DNS servers and architecture that comprise the system. If the...
  3. Anyone else like buying domains for the fun of it?

    ICANN is a non-profit corporation that is tasked with making sure only one person/entity owns a domain name and that when you type in signs101.com, it routes you here. They create the rules and administer the huge databases that tell the world where the domain is. So when you type in...
  4. Mutoh 1604 Black, works on fine, not so good on wave.

    You could try flushing the head as a last resort to recover the nozzles but otherwise you are not going to be able to get rid of the banding unless those nozzles are firing. Running your prints in super fine A or B mode only uses half of the channels. So if you have one black channel that is...
  5. Mutoh 1604 refurbish questions

    Usually a full damper means it is very old, your bulk system is bad and/or the maintenance station is not pulling ink properly. We carry the full maintenance stations on our website and have some other options to rebuild the maintenance station which will save you about 50%. Feel free to give us...
  6. Rasterlink Pro 5 SG...CJV30-160 4x2CMYK Cant print PMS colors from Illustrator...HELP

    This is the way to go. A lot of the smaller dealers, and some of the big ones, are selling these machines at very discounted prices and a lot of the reason is because they do not employ full time technicians. We pick-up a lot of local business because people's machines, warrantied and not, go...
  7. JV3 130 SPII Error code 7 Head!!!!!

    If you put the wrong head rank number in, the machine gives you an error 30 and doesn't save the number so there is no possible way to damage the head with the wrong number. In my experience the head rank is just a serial number for the head anyway. I've been doing a little experiment for the...

    Most states have lemon laws. Look yours up. It might be as easy as filing a complaint with the AG.
  9. Sublimation equipment advice needed

    +1 on the Mutoh 1638 or 2638. These machines, whether set up as solvent or dye sublimation, are probably the most solid machines I have worked with as far as reliability and ease of use goes. With all the major brands having the same or similar speed, quality and price point, Mutoh has my vote...
  10. Test print problems roland vp540

    I would start with new cap tops and check the pump tubes for any clogs using a syringe to push cleaning solution through to the waste tank. The fact that the nozzles are fading from the top of the head down indicates that the seal between the cap tops and head is failing. Check your wipers to...
  11. Convert 1614 to Die sub

    Good to know.
  12. Printing and cutting magnetic material

    As a Mutoh certified tech I can confirm. These machines are not meant to print on magnetic even if the magnet manufacturer says you can. They are certainly capable o fit but Mutoh does not recommend it because the of the potential damage caused by head strikes. If you get a head strike on vinyl...
  13. Convert 1614 to Die sub

    I believe Mutoh will disable the card readers for a, hefty, fee. That would be the way to go if you don't want to mess with card re-setters, firmware, and wiring etc.. Mutoh card readers are the hardest to emulate for some reason so the third party readers can be glitchy.
  14. Jv3 yello firing all the way it moves !!!!!

    Check the connection on the slider board where the head cable plugs into. I have seen the connections pop up and cause this issue. In that case a slider board would fix the issue. If you don't see damage on the board, it most likely is not a slider board issue. Unfortunately, if you have tried...
  15. Torn on which machine to purchase. Would love some input!

    I would be worried about the 6 month warranty. I can get a Mutoh ValueJet 1324 with take up, starter ink and software for close to the price of an L110. Similar or better speed, better top quality, and a 2 year warranty. Also, the ValueJets have been around and proven for over 10 years. Other...
  16. Jv3 yello firing all the way it moves !!!!!

    Before you do anything, turn the machine off and unplug it. wait 15 minutes and then try the following: Take the head cables out of the yellow head and check them for damage, corrosion, and/or ink on the terminals. If you find anything like that, change the cables. If they look good, check the...
  17. ValueJet 1324 and network

    Get a switch or router for the new building and connect your 250' line to it. I prefer the switch option. With a router you will have to set it up as an access point etc. Then you can connect your computer and printer to the switch which will allow internet access and printer connection. You...
  18. Need help with Flexisign and Mimaki CG-SRII 130 cutter

    The most common mistake I see on these machines when they are new to customers is they don't point the laser in the correct place on the crop mark. Make sure you get the red dot to the corner of the crop mark but do not touch any of the crop mark. If it touches the black part it tends to miss...
  19. How much compensation for a employee with zero experience/competency?

    I started at my first sign shop straight out of high school at $7 an hour. I had no sign experience but was trained in the Adobe suite. Ended up at $14 after 2 years. I felt that was fair as I was a complete newbie to the world not just signs but I proved myself early on and was rewarded. Now...
