Yesterday afternoon I set of 3 separate prints and lastly a layout print of 3 files from Wasatch to our Valuejet 1604 and left it merrily printing away. I checked it to confirm colours and quality during which time I set up a few other jobs from my next print run. Well everything was fine...

I have run our Valuejet 1604 over the last couple of years on bulk ink. We have smart cards to the rear which has worked faultlessly (except for a set of chip readers which is due to old age). On Tuesday Evening whilst waiting for some new ink and cards I ran the printer over night. When I came...

Hi all I run my Valuejet 1604 with an aftermarket bulk ink system which has worked very well for the last few years. About 6 months ago I had a problem when reinstalling a cartridge after fitting a new smart card (to reset the ink levels) I damaged a couple of the internal chip readers. At the...

I use Wasatch 6.2 to print from at the moment and use a Mutoh Valuejet and a Mutoh Ultima to contour cut from. I am on with upgrading the plotter and am looking at a Graphtec FC-8600 as I have always like Graphtecs plotters and I am getting a real good deal on it. The issue is that Wasatch6.2...

How do I get it through a clients head that their artwork is useless!!!!!! They are claiming it has been designed in photoshop and illustrator. But when I get the artwork it is 72dpi and 3" x 3"! This is to be printed at 5'x5' and is completely useless for what I and they want to use. How can I...

Hi Some help please with this one. It has come up before but I am at a loss. Sorry about the photo best I could get at the time. The "k" seems to be the most prominent and all the corners are rounded very slightly. Cheers SC

Around our local town we have a large amount of stainless steel directional signs and Information boards. Stainless Steel has been used as we are a coastal town and used to have a huge steel industry. These are manufactured from Brush Stainless Steel but the finish is discolored and tarnished...

We have always had an issue with this plotter cutting contour cut prints and it seems to get worse the longer it is. On checking today when the plot had finished (and run off) the left hand roller was no longer on the material. This is a machine problem and not a software one. Is their a way of...

On my Mutoh VJ1604 I still have sub tank low errors after replacing the sub tank valves. What should I change next? I notice the sensor is triggered by a metal plate attached to the sub tank bladder, which seems a little hit and miss. It must be still working as the machine would not work at...

I am looking for a form to give to a potential wrap customer explaining how we need the vehicle when left with us. The issues I am having is that customers are leaving us vehicles with damaged paint work, rust and in a complete filthy state and cannot make them understand that the vehicle needs...

Is their a way of showing how many metres the machine has printed in its lifetime? I have an old Mimaki JV3 and I believe you can do this on this machine. Just was wondering whether it was possible to show on the Mutoh Valuejet? SC
