We have a Valuejet 1604 and purchased this new in 2008. This machine has been unbelievably reliable and very easy to live with, and with a bulk ink system very cheap to print. We have maintained the machine well and about 14 months ago it had a new head fitted. This machine runs and prints as...

I have shown this to my business partners and we love this machine. How much for one of these (inclusive of import tax) shipped to the UK? SC

I think they do go out of date eventually. You could reset the date by puling the battery on the main board ,it is a bit fiddly though. That will probably bring it back on line. SC

If I was changing the head I would be changing the maintenance station complete with pump. Also only use a genuine Mutoh head cable as I have heard issues with aftermarket ones. SC

Sorry but I only have a small amount of info on this job. But I just need a cartoon of a roller skate (4 wheeled) with a face on it. My drawing/caracture skills are very minimal and as far as looking for something as a piece of clipart I have spent hours and drew a complete blank. So I know I am...

I have a client who would like a logo created for his roller disco (very 70s). On his requirements I created this based on his what he described (see attached). He has now come back to me he would rather like a face on the actual skate (has to be an old 4 wheeled skate not a blade). Now this is...

Thanks for that. SC

My Valuejet 1604 is flashing LIFE TIMES [Pump] The pumps have been replaced they have obviously not been reset. I don't have access to my engineer manual at the moment. How do I put it into service mode and reset the lifetimes? SC

+1 for laminating. I learned very early on that ALL digital prints have to be laminated for them to last over 6 months. Even though the manufacturers rsay the prints can last for 3 years + I have seen them fade within 3 months! SC

The error is :- error 07 (_ _ _ _ * -) SC

This machine has had a lot of time (more than it's worth) and quite a bit of money spent on it. Everything is or was working correctly. Up until till last weekend everything was perfect (or as close as you can get). The cleaning procedure is like new. You cannot print any colours when a head is...

Hi Yes I switched it on...LOL UK Speak. No head strikes at all. Has just been running test prints etc. It hasn't done any work yet since setting it up working again. All I wanted to know is if anyone had figured out what creates the faults to create the errors. And if changing any of the...

This is all up and recommissioned again and has been running for the last two weeks. I have just spent some time getting it printing properly. It has new cables, caps and pumps. Printhead test was about 95% on all heads so was good to go. Knocked it on on Saturday and it came up with the dreaded...

I am just about to put my old JV3 back into the print room and get it making some money. Problem is I knocked it on this morning and it is giving an error on the light cyan channel!!!! Now I have tried all my spare heads and all of them are dead. My question is what goes wrong with the head...

Which colour is blocked?

By the looks of things the head is not sealing properly against the cap. I would clean all the dried ink around the head. For starters I would replace the cap top and make sure the pump is pulling through as the drain pipes can get blocked on the cap. I have found that you have to deal with any...

It could be the head cable failing. The Maintenance Station maybe is not sealing against the head. Also how old is the head as if over 4 years old or more it will probably need replaced along with MS and head cable?. SC

Designers go out of their way to make things harder or as near impossible as they can!!!!!! As soon as I get a job from a designer or archtitect you can bet you should instantly triple your price because of all the B.S. I mean they use the most obscure and unobtainable letter style and make sure...

As for scrap vinyl. Up until last year I would give all my scraps to local schools as they always were welcome of it. Last year I was called by one of the schools we gave to and asked whether we had any offcuts or scraps they could have. I told them yes come and get them. A week later I got a...

I contacted Inkmill last week and this week and I am getting no reply. I understand the ink is more for the heavy industry heads but I am getting it for nearly nothing. SC
