I printed a number of full panels for a wrap onto a new transit L3 H2. I have noticed a slight colour shift on one panel. Each panel had a nozzle check to check that all the nozzles were firing before printing. The colour shift is very very slight but is across the entire printed area. Hopefully...

The question was "How do I replace them?" This looks quiet an intense job and due to never have done anything like this I need guidance. Cheers SC

This is a 2007 machine and has printed Thousands of Metres of print matial and banner. So it hasn't done to bad has it? The way Mutoh instruct you to lubricate the carriage bearings is not correct (This has been discussed on this forum before) as they are sealed and adding anying lubrication...

Well after fitting yet another maintenance station into our 1604 the test print is showing no blocked nozzles and prints as good as the day it was installed. It is now Seven and Half Years since I had a new print head installed and firmly believe that if blocked nozzles are attended to when they...

I think you have found the biggest issue with a CMYK 4 colour printer. Reds, Greys, Burgundy, Greens, etc. Just to name a few are a pain to hit. To get a decent colour match on these I will set the profile on something like 3M Ij180 as this prints the maximum resolution of my machine...

New print head, cables and a maintenance station. Then recharge with new inks. If the machine has been left like this for sometime you will never get the magenta back. These machines should never be left with blockages or non use as they thrive on been used and the more you use them the less...

Did you ever rectify the problem you have with wasatch print qeueu issues you had? I am having identical issues.

Looking further all your nozzles do not look that well (of the ones I can see). The biggest issue and major factor I see on these printers is lack of use. If not used they tend to block up and you loose nozzles a lot more easily. SC

I'm using 3M 480c as in the UK 3M are trying their best to remove their PVC materials. Only thing is it is a big big secret what these materials are based on and will only discuss them with third parties (your client/customer). I reckon these materials will in the long run be more expensive to...

That yellow nozzle check does not look healthy. Check that the pump is pulling through properly as the small outlet pipes below the cap can block especially at the small double connector. Possibly the cap top is touching the printhead which causes wicking and cross contaminates the prints...

That's faulty material as the marks are not uniform in position. I have found that 3M have maybe altered this material at least 3 times now. I also had a fault in my material on a 5 Metre longo print 3M wanted to replace only the 0.5 Metre that the fault appeared! The 480 material has a coating...

Purple, Dark Green, Burgundy, Grey & Red are the most difficult colours to hit especially with a machine that only has 4 colours. I find printing in the highest quality available normally gives me good on all of the above. If it doesn't it just isn't possible. SC

I was about to upgrade my PC to Windows 10 and was going to copy the Cadlink folders onto another storage, just in case of failure. But I have found 3off files with a huge size within the Signlab folder. They are called:- Embedded2464 Embedded2512 Embedded3856 Embedded4028 They all have a...

I had a pump early in the year that had just melted. It had only been in the machine a month. I think something had been missed when the plastics had been made as it was if it was not for a solvent machine. SC

First thing to do is change dampers and check the maintenance station and capping is functioning correctly. SC

Looks good to me. I fitted a sign many years ago which was 32' x 8' Aluminium on rails with five 8" galvanised posts in 5' concrete with frame reinforcement. It was fitted on top of a hill in the worst weather you can imagine gales,pouring rain, etc. Got a phone call the falling morning that...

This can also be due to the capping station lint touching the head when it is parked. SC

Is the test print OK? Just wondering whether you have cross contamination> SC

Just scrapped an old JV3 I had in storage for if my Mutoh died. I'm currently thinking about just staying with Mutoh. As after 12 years of ownership and only one head change it has been a brick with only minimal maintenance and still prints as good as the day I bought it. My ex-boss upgraded to...

How do I show them in Signlab?
