WOW.
I fitted a banner flat to a building over January which was 48'x5' using a banner track system.
It was nice and tight but due to my on going argument with the client with regarding the bad weather and location this stayed up for a grand total of Three days!!!
Yes and as you will guess "The...
+1 for the encoder disc clean.
I have also found that their can be a build up of adhesive on the black media hold down guides either side of the platen.
These are easily removed by taking out the two screws and removing the stop plate on the left hand side.
I find glue from the adhesive on the...
I would be contacting 3M direct and get them to send over the details.
Probably would be better if it was an official piece of information rather than something that you have created.

You can sometimes get the S/C card error due to bent pins on the card readers.
Most of my time has been spent on the larger valuejets but it looks as if yours uses a similar cartridge/card system this may also be an issue.

Your head is on the maximum life time for one of these machines.
I thought the manifolds were bonded to the head on the DX5 and were non removable.
If your head is still printing fine I would be changing the head cable, dampers and a new maintenance station.
Even if the station is newish I would...
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.

I am usually all for change.
But when logging on this afternoon I had to check twice to see if I hadn't come to the wrong site.
Signs 101 layout was more than user friendly and as they say "if it ain't broken, don't fix it!"
Their is enough crap going on in my work life without my favourite...
LOL Iv'e done my fair share of post hole digging also.
Here in the UK the pontiac trans am is very rare and the chances of me ever re-using this logo is 0%
SC
That's right I'm a PHD with over 30 years in this industry.
So I know a lot better.
But why would I want to spend a lot more than 5 mins on a 5 colour logo that is not as simple as it looks, for a customer that doesn't realise how long it takes to re-create a logo.
Especially if someone here...
I am back in today to print this banner from hell!!!!!
I have front wound this back onto its roll but buckling is still occurring!!
Just when you think it has sorted itself out it touches again.
I am leaving loads of slack to the rear.
The head strikes are always roughly in the same area which...
I do not want to be the bearer of bad news, but that looks like a faulty print head!
I would maybe change the head cable again for an original item.
But if this does not clear it I am afraid this is what's wrong with it (in my opinion)!
Probably this has been caused by the lack of use as these...
I am thinking of unwinding the complete 30M roll and forward winding it onto another roll.
All the pinch rollers are under 6 months old and everything is clean.
Why is this a common issue on the 1604 model as I thought the rollers and clampling system is the same on all the valuejet machines?
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...
