  1. Print head condition pic inside!

    That's pretty much destroyed..... Serious head crash has occured. Bin it buy a new one. SC
  2. Mutoh 1638 Printing Line Issues

    I would also check and clean the encoder strip and disk. Seems strange it is showing in different colours though. I note you say you have reseatted the cables, but not replaced. The next thing I would try (because it's the cheapest fix) is replace the head cables with new OEM ones. I can't see...
  3. Vj 1204

    I know it hurts and I can fully feel your pain. But really this looks like a failing/failed print head. You seem to have exhausted all other avenues. Time to dig deep and fit a new print head and cables. SC
  4. Mimaki JV3-75SPII ink problems after head wash

    I very much doubt it to be the memory dates, which is one thing that resets when you remove the battery. More likely a dodgy cable or print head. SC
  5. Mutoh VJ1304 - horizontal banding issue

    I would agree with letterman7 Are the blacks set up as a CMYK with values set to 0,0,0,100? If so change the values to100,100,100,100 so it is using all colours to create a dense black. This also could be a PF adjustment issue which aligns the overlaps in passes. I personally would use the fuzz...
  6. today on a very special "what's wrong with my printer?"....

    I agree our dealer gave us such a limited set up on the machine even though they were here for a day only. Maintaining these machines is a big big thing and using them lots helps. Eight years later I believe I know and can now resolve most issues that are cropping up. SC
  7. Mutoh 1204 not printing gradients correctly

    Greys are a pig to hit on any CMYK printer and even harder when they are graduated. If this doesn't match your previous most likely you haven't used the same print profile as before. Also are you using the same ink and is your nozzle test as good as it was when last printed? Even a couple...
  8. Vj 1204

    I am looking at this issue again and still in my opinion the fault is the print head. You seem to be avoiding changing the print head which I well understand is the most expensive part. But unless you have a spare working machine to swap the head too you will never know. Probably their has been...
  9. S/c read err

    Geshkin Can you PM me the solution also? Thanks SC
  10. 1324 finally printing color. Help with faded looking ink

    Also looking at the orange and the light green you will always struggle with these colours unless you are printing high resolution. SC
  11. 1324 finally printing color. Help with faded looking ink

    What does the nozzle check look like? If their are any nozzles out you will get this issue. Also that looks a very low resolution you are printing with. SC
  12. Signlab not saving work

    I don't know if this is the same issue you are having but all our work saves to a shared server. Sometimes if the server or work station has rebooted due to upgrades or maintenance signlab will save to a default location. Also make sure where signlab is saving to is the same place it opening...
  13. Looking for a good white carbon fiber vinyl

    I know APA do one... My opinion is it looks horrific. Mind you I don't love carbon fibre on anything. SC
  14. Mutoh 1324 very heavy ink, run and off color

    That looks like a material issue. What is the material you are printing onto. Check your heater settings also. SC
  15. Reset ink on vj1204

    If you are running bulk inks try this:- Install new cards. Set a print off. Remove cards whilst it is printing and install some old ones (I don't think you have to but I do). The ink will show as depleting but is not writing to your card. When it has run down to 20% switch machine off and...
  16. Help with our old laminator

    How do I reset the Laminate Tension, Print Tension, Roller Pressure? There are only two speeds and it causes issues on both! SC
  17. Help with our old laminator

    Scott I don't understand what you are saying. But when the rollers are down with no pressure their seems to be a gap either side. The big issue is I have checked the flatness with an engineers straight edge and they are perfectly flat. I cannot figure why these gaps are appearing and when you...
  18. 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...
  19. Vj 1204

    You sound unlucky and by the sounds of it the head is faulty. SC
  20. Which brand of printable wrap vinyl do you prefer and/or avoid? 3M, Orajet, Arlon?

    We are using 3Ms ij180cv3 here. I have tried Arlon 6000XRP but the savings in material soon gave way to the fact that it took almost double the time to fit! Also we had some issues with the Arlon de-laminating. Honest try them both but you will not believe how much easier 3Ms ij180cv3 especially...
