I have an ongoing issue with coming in on a morning and I have a Sub Tank error showing. When I reset the machine the issue has resolved itself. Personally without going to deep into the machine I suspect that the sub tanks have a sensor which either contacts or triggers this error. Is their any...

I am now on my 8th replacement of one of the chip readers on our Mutoh 1604. Absolute rubbish design which has took me off line for 5 hours this morning!!!! Sadly it mangles the chip reader pins and has failed on original cartridges and when using bulk inks. It's lucky I have had this issue...

I have had an email from one of my sellers saying that Mutoh have launched the 1604X (which is a good price). I currently have an original 1604. What are the differences between the two machines or is Mutoh just trying to sell something old as new? Also do these have both the same Epson DX5...

I have a good friend who has had a London Trolley (Horse Cart). This one is a bit special though he wants it to be vinyl graphiced and not sign written as they normally are as this one is off steel construction and has all sorts of bells and whistles (hydraulic disc brakes). I am looking for...

I loaded a roll of 3M Envision 480 SV480Cv3 into my Mutoh Valuejet. I gave it a light wipe over with some isopropyl Alchol on the leading edge, as I do with most substrates I load into machine. This is just in case their is any oily fingerprints on the material by the previous person who...

Any help on this one I know I have this one but what is it?!! Does anyone know of a good program that I can upload an image and scan through my fonts with? I had an old program within Vinyl Master Pro that worked amazingly but this was an old 16 bit edition that I no longer can use. SC

Has anyone got this one it is for a 80-81? Cheers SC

I have a 40'x5' banner to print on our valuejet 1604. I have never used full size material in this machine(1625mm) but this time because of the depth I have had to. On printing the material is rising slightly and causing head strikes!! I have tried adjusting the heaters but nothing helps. I am...

Thanks in advance. SC

Hi can anyone help on this one please? Ta SC

I have seen this in a few takeaways where they have a number of flat screen tv/monitors showing their menu. I guess the easiest /cheapest way to do this as flat screen TV's are becoming cheaper is buy a few with wall brackets and mounted to a gantry. The biggest issue is obviously you will need...

Last week I had an issue of some of one part of the black and part of the cyan went blocked and wasnt printing correctly. I worked out that the pump wasn't pulling through, so I removed the complete station and cleaned the pump and fitted a new cap. This seemed to cure the issue, until I came in...

I have a new member of staff who is just starting off with us. He is very interested in using our signlab software and their is always a free PC available to have a play. So basically I do not have the spare time to teach someone and to be honest the amount of bells and whistles on this piece of...

I have an issue when cutting long graphics as a printed contour cut. When it is over 8' long sometimes it mistracks and does not cut where it should. Also the more items on the contour cut file by the time it gets to the last ones it has run off. Help!!! This is driving me nuts and wasting...

Hi Over the last few years we have used Avery Dennison Squeegee Pro as our preferred application squeegee. At the end of last year Avery in their infinite wisdom changed the felt material that was applied to these. The felt now fails and wears out at a quiet horrific rate and is costing a...

Over the last 10 years or so I have been purchasing and updating our vehicle outlines from a company in the UK. I am beginning to see a larger discrepancy in the outlines. Although they look correct, when creating graphics to fit the panels their can be up to 1" or more difference. In the UK...

We have recently tried the new 3M Envision Print Wrap Film 480Cv3 to replace IJ180Cv3. It prints brilliantly and the laminate is super glossy and almost crystal clear. The only issue is that compared to IJ180Cv3 and even stating that 480Cv3 has controltac re-positionable it most certainly does...
