Has anyone got or made a profile for printing Convex matte Inkjet vinyl on our Valuejet 1604? I have tried a few but they are not very dense in the colours. Thanks SC

Well I finally replaced the Capping/maintenance station. It was a little fiddly but I have got it all back together. The only problem was the pump at the back which pulls the ink through from the Capping/maintenance station. All the pipes are blocked solid with dry ink. Can I take it out and...

Has anyone got the New Fiat 500 vehicle outline? I have looked everywhere for this even on their brochures with no luck. I have graphiced a few of these for a dealership but it just doesn't look professional designing on photos. Thanks SC

I am looking for some product codes for 3M Moto-X Print Vinyl & Overlaminate. All the local riders are using materials with 3M markings on the release liner and being fussy won't accept anything that doesn't have 3M. I was going to use Convex but only 3M will do! I have had a lot of trouble with...

I started in the early 80's working in a sign shop and I was in the engraving and routing part of the business. We had a vast array of equipment and the boss was absolute nuts on keeping up with the latest technology. I was running 2 computerised engravers and a large cnc routing machine plus a...

I was over at a friends screen printing business on Wednesday. Over the last 3 years he has diversified into digital printing (mainly by my advice) and now has a JV3 and a JV33. I was at his premises and the young guy who runs these machines was fighting with getting a print to look good with...

Since the start of the year we have been printing Moto-X / Dirt Bike Graphics. We found a supplier of material which to our belief far exceeds the requirement for applying to the low energy panels on these bike. The material is manufactured by LG the print material is LD3888G and Laminated with...

I am still on with updating my 3 computers and should have something sorted very soon. But I have been thinking about our software storage. At the moment we have 2 1TB storage drives on the lan one is for storage and the other is for backup. Now it's easy just adding another storage drive but as...

I have a new Maintenance Station and wiper for our VJ1604. I have looked through our maintenance manual it shows how to replace a wiper but it doesn't explain how to replace the Maintenance Station. Do you really have to remove the cover to replace this? Thanks SC

Well I had a bad head strike on our VJ1604 today and normally after a couple of stong cleans it all comes right.:banghead: Well today it wont come right I am missing nozzles all over. I have gone back into work tonight to see if I can get it going as I have a huge print run in the morning but no...

This morning I have had a customer who keeps wanting amendments on a design. So why oh why in his last conversation he said "just do what you think works and I'll trust you because you have more feel this designing thing than me" What do you think I was doing when i first designed it!!!!! Makes...

I am printing a very large banner which is nearly 25' x 10'. Our printer will comfortably print 5' so i have a problem. If I use banner hemming tape will this sufficiently hold it together? I currently use a high tack banner bond tape for hemming and it works on the hems but I am concerned it...

We are running our valuejet 1604 as the printer and it has a mutoh sc 1400d plotter for cutting. We have started making a lot of MotoX graphics but the plotter is struggling with the material. Could I use my old Graphtec Signjet Pro2 as the plotter as this cuts a lot harder and it is more than...

My home PC hard drive is always running and the light is on always flickering away as if it is doing something. I have knocked everything off so the basics are just running but it still is doing something!!! I need help as I have searched all over the internet and all the suggestions don't work...

We have come up with a problem on a sunny day when the light shines through the window. Even though the machine is not in direct sunlight and the other end of the room from the windows. It doesn't read the registration marks properly and won't cut! Has anyone come across this problem? I need a...

I am going to have to replace our 3 PCs. As everyone is moaning about how slow and how often the programme crashes. Our RIP PC is the only one not to be upgraded as all it runs is the RIP and is more than up to the job. I am able to build my own computers so this will make it cheaper. They are...

I work mainly with corel and signlab and have done for years now. I have a job sent to me by a customer but am having a nightmare dismantling the logos from other parts of the artwork. When you group round objects if you touch a nearby object it groups that object also. This is so time consuming...

Just before Christmas I had a few issues with our 1604. I have removed and retensioned the drive belt on the x axis. I know I have to change the PF adjustment as i am getting banding issues on some of the lower resolution settings . I can adjust this while it's printing and taking it up to about...

Switched machine on this morning and printed some images. The were printed Bi-Directional as the quality didn't need to be that good. On looking at the prints later there is a part were the PF adjustment runs out and gets better again!!! This is on every rotation or about 85mm. Later whilst...
