  2. Valuejet Ethernet Socket

    I have an issue that the ethernet socket is failing on my Valuejet 1604 and needs to be held in a certain way for it to work. Does anyone know where I can buy a new ethernet socket to solder onto the board. As Mutoh are saying the only way is to replace the whole board, which is huge expense...

  6. The Christmas Rush

    Well the Christmas Holidays are coming soon and the rush has started!!!! Seems to me, that even though this Holiday comes around every year it still always catches some people unaware. We shut down over the Christmas/New Year period and trying to finish on the 22nd. But the mad rush is...
  7. Laminating straight and square issues

    We have an Easymount 1600SH top heated laminator which we purchased second hand. Although this is so much better than our old chinese cold laminator. I am still having issues with getting prints to run straight and no matter how I install them it still runs off after a couple of metres. Also...

  9. Getting the old JV3 up and running....

    Well I have spent the best part of this weekend trying to get the old JV3-160S running again. I have just managed to get 3 good heads into the machine, one I have just bought and the other two I had which had been flushed and stored away. I decided to install the two previous heads alongside...
  10. Training a New Employee

    We currently have a young person that has been handed to us by a training company. He seem to have what I can only describe as the "right stuff" so we will be taking him on. The issue is the training company wish us to take them on as an apprentice after his trial period. This will entail us...
  11. Is an old JV3 still a useable machine in a modern sign shop

    We have an old JV3-160SP which I bought a few years ago very cheaply. It had been offline for quiet some time but over the last year or so I have replaced the caps, pumps, dampers and have now managed to get 3 completley perfect heads for it. Also I have a bulk ink system which will make this...
  12. Help with our old laminator

    We have an old Bunny 1400 Laminator (Economy Unheated Model) It says it was manufactured in France but looks like a Chinese model. Over the last few months I have had some serious issues with it. When laminating it either doesn't laminate in the middle of the print or if you tighten it down it...
  13. Mutoh Valuejet Network dropping issue.

    I have had an issue with our valuejet 1604 disconnecting of the network. I thought I had traced this to a suspect ethernet cable. I had the network cable taped up against the power cables supporting it. Last week we had the print room re-floored and had everything disconnected. This was a good...

  15. A colour matching issue.

    We have a Mutoh Valuejet and I am trouble hitting, or even coming close to a yellow colour. It is a colour based on Oracals 651 range of vinyl. Oracal ref 020 RAL 1033 HKS 5 I have played around loads and just can't get it to look as bright. Does anyone have a RGB or CYMK reference that has...
  16. Dirt/dust on prints.

    We have had our Valuejet 1604 from new back in 2007 and it still is going strong! Over the last 2/3 months I have seen an excessive amount of debris/dust/dirt on our prints. I was at a loss where it was coming from until last week and it seems to be coming of the rubber rollers which clamp the...

  18. Wasatch / Mutoh Valuejet Stack Issue

    I have noticed a fault which I have no idea whether it is a RIP problem or a machine issue. These GB stickers were stacked up to my printer with a 0.03mm gap. Yet when it prints them out the gap can vary up to about 1mm. The issue is if you reset the job the gap is always spaced out differently...
  19. Can I make this from a digital print?

    I have been given a job something like what I have attached. This was created by applying translucent vinyls over the inside of the panels. What I am trying to do is print a pattern something similar to this and apply it is a single print. Question is can I print onto clear with my Mutoh...
  20. How long does a sign last?!!!

    I am at the moment working out roughly how long a shop sign lasts and what is the typical life span of your average sign. Typically I am re-signing a shop/company between every 4-5years. Occasionally we get a client that expects a sign to last forever! I currently have one running that was...
