Ordered a NITE bulk ink system for my Mutoh 1604 with the ink cartridges that have the ZIF sockets in the back to accept Mutoh ink cards. (I use a similar setup on my 1204 except they are the cheaper, generic bulk cartridges.) After initial installation I powered up the 1604 and the K...

I bought a new (to me) 1604 with low miles, but the former owner really didn't print much with it. So, started working on cleaning it up, etc. and back in working order. HOWEVER, somehow my dumb butt entered into the head wash menu and couldn't get back out using the cancel button. Right now...

Have a request to do a sign for a new customer. This will be anchored to an exterior wall on an outdoor mall. I have a 3 page document showing the requirements for the sign showing it must be made of HDU or wood, dimensions must be 28" x 168" to match other signs, and depth must be 1.5" thick...

I have a customer who has a sign that has been up for several years that is approx 2' x 15' and made of some type of 2" HDU. It is a simple sign and just has a routed edge, routed border and applied vinyl graphics. They are doing a small name change and want it re-painted and re-lettered...

Made a 4' x 20' double sided banner with 18 oz Bantex Herculite earlier this year. Banner was printed both sides, sewn all sides with 1" webbing for reinforcement. Just found out it was shredded last Friday due to some high winds. The tricky part is that I didn't install this, the city did...

Just got off the phone with Grimco and it appears they are throwing in the towel on their 20/20 inks for Mutoh. As I can attest, they were plagued with problems with the chips on the cartridges. I remember one episode where I went through 4 magenta cartridges to get one working. The ink...

Have been looking around for someone who sells Oracal 3551 RA or something similar in a high performance calendared vinyl with air egress to fit my VJ-1204. (Would use this for box truck wraps and flat stuff.) *I know it can be cut down, but Fellers wants another $65 to slit it - which...

Was printing a 4x8 on IJ180 yesterday using the IJ180 1440x1440 profile from Wasatch and noticed a problem. (In this mode the printer is printing uni-directional) The background of the print was a dark olive green and every few inches I would get these dark "stripes" or ares in the print. No...

Hard to beat Clean Cut blades - best I've found. Sold my Roland so no longer need these if anyone is interested. http://www.signs101.com/pp-classifieds/for-sale/p219-3-new-clean-cut-bladesroland-camm-1-or-print-and-cut.html Thanks!

Came across a seemingly good deal on a used Mutoh Ultima SC-1400D cutter to match up with my VJ-1204. Anyone have some detailed info. on these cutters? Are they a unique Mutoh-made cutter, or are they a cutter that Mutoh had someone else make? (I have heard Summa put these together for...

Just curious as to where other Mutoh 1204, 1304, 1604, etc. owners are buying their user replaceable items. (Sponges, wiper blades, waste tank sponges, maintenance stations, etc.) I know Fellers has a few things, Signwarehouse seems to have a few things, but nobody appears to have everything...

Just got a problem fixed today with my new printer, now my CX-400 wants to get in on the act. I went to load some material late this afternoon and after hitting the enter button the carriage/head traveled all the way past the last pinch roller and returned to home saying "reset pinch roller"...

OK, Mutoh VJ 1204 - Wasatch 6.5 The RIP computer is a stand-alone box, direct connected to the printer with a crossover cable, no switch, router etc. I can ping the printer with no problem... I've printed some small things since getting my printer up and running last week with no problems...

Local bank has a repo VJ 1204 and matching Ultima 1400 cutter. They can't tell me anything about how it was taken out of service other than it was willingly surrendered. (Customer told the bank to come get it.) I think I can get the pair for around $7k, would it be worth it. Yes, I'm taking...

As it stands, I've been steadily narrowing down my choices for a printer. I want to stay in the 54" range and prefer the print/cut systems made by Roland. I have pretty much ruled out an SP-540 due to its slower printing speeds and older technology and an XC-540 is just too far out of my price...

Comparing these two, which is the "better" unit if both are used and basically in the same condition? Any big differences in the head, cutting speed, printing speed, etc.? *Oh, and any significant differences in the SP540 vs. SP 540v?

Hi all, been reading what great units the Summa DC4, DC4SX and even DC3's are for custom die-cut decals. How do they work for banners, car and truck decals and wraps or partial wraps? I am in the process of shopping around for a printer and have pretty much narrowed it down to a Roland...

Our business is looking at purchasing a large format printer for banners and vehicle graphics. From all the glowing reports here we are going to take a hard look at the Mutoh Valuejet line. (We are also going to look at Roland machines.) However, our main concern with the Mutoh is size. We...

Just wanted to see who else out there is using SignCut. I know many are using more expensive packages like Flexi etc., but I purchased SignCut because I wanted to design in Illustrator from a Mac. (And not break the bank doing it.) Overall, I've been very pleased with the software. While...

Hi guys, just purchased a Roland CX-300 from another member and am in the process of getting it set up. I would like to cut from Illustrator CS, on a Mac G5 using OS 10.3. I found the updater on Roland's site to allow you to do this, however you already have to have the Roland Cutchoice...
