I learnt this secret about 8 years regarding Fridays, it may not be the secret to happiness but certainly keeps you at peace. We used to hold a huge festival in our local town one weekend in the year and in those days we vinyl graphiced bought in banners. Now all the local businesses being...

I am a bit confused with your problem. If this is a new head and it is blocked on the black channels I would send it back to wherever you purchased it. It is most certainly dud. Do not separate the manifold from the head firstly the gasket between them is not a rubber type (at least it wasn't on...

I have been running Jetbest inks through our Valuejet for nearly 3 years now. Absolutley perfect and a massive saving on OEM. As far as scratch resistance I can only say they are as good as OEM or maybe slightly better. Anyway if you don't want it to scratch, laminate it. Fade resistance is just...

WE just completed a fleet of these wagons. The trick is to either not let the two colours meet or change to print at a join (doors/panels). It took about 8 test prints to get near to this colour. Also it was printed on a very high quality print setting. SC

One line pulls black and cyan and the other yellow and magenta. But because they are open on the cap they both will pull a bit of each colour. I would maybe think along the same lines as artbot on this one. These machines tend to thrive if used a lot but can be temperamental if only used...

I have repaired this now. For future reference it was the card reader modules that were faulty. On the yellow two of the pins were bent and on the magenta one of the pins was also bent. This must have been worn for a while and just decided to no longer touch or short. For safety and the sake...

OK then that is looking serious and by the looks of things you have nozzles missing on other colours too. Could you show me the whole test print as I can get a clearer picture of what is blocked? You are going to have to act fast on this, as the longer you leave the nozzles blocked the harder...

Help!

Any ideas people as I am now panicking, I have about 20 banners I have to print tomorrow or I am in serious trouble! SC

Our VJ1604 stopped halfway through a 2metre print this afternoon. It came up with a sub tank low error. This happens frequently but normally you come in the morning and it is bleeping away not during a print! Also we are running bulk inks so when I started back up I changed the cards for a new...

I know my VJ 1604 has an encoder disk as well as a t fence encoder. I have had a look but I can't figure whether the 1204 has an encoder disk or not. I cannot find any listing for one so maybe not. SC

Hi Sadly this is an error that kind of covers a whole load of different errors. We fixed ours in the end by changing the encoder disk but if you do a search on here you will find numerous occasions this error has been discussed. I would get have a look through them first to check which scenario...

As it is your own car I would stopper them and wet flat till smooth. Just remember when removing what you have done and have to paint later. If it was a customers vehicle I would send them to the spray shop. You would not believe the amount of misguided customers who think vehicle wrap will hide...

Good Luck on this problem (your gonna need it!). Anyone who is running a CMYK printer will fall into this hole eventually. If it isn't Reds, it's Greens, Blues and Greys and when you adjust/profile for one, the adjustment to make this colour will change other colours. You will end up going...

Dirty Encoder Disk or Encoder strip. That is my best guess on this one. If the problem is in the same position it has to be the encoders. Clean with denatured alchol. SC

Personally that looks great. I have seen other large companies sending prints out with machines that have bigger issues than that. I would carry on printing but if you feel the need to replace I would take the old head of your hands! SC

My question is why do you want to do this? I thought heads were delicate enough without increasing the voltage to them! SC

To help you further. Was the machine printing OK prior to this fault? Have you just acquired this machine or it a machine you have owned for a while? So many things it could be but if you don't tell us the history of the machine we will struggle to help. SC

Yes I used to reserve Saturday mornings for the boy racer brigade, I have long since lost interest their is better time to be drinking beer over the weekend. I remember when the fast and furious films first came out I would get at least two a day wanting the same graphics up the side of their...

Yes I have considered another one. Just it is a little hard finding a second hand 1604 and the later models had upright cartridges which makes it harder to convert to bulk ink (I think). Also in my shop I am the person that has to mend it if it goes wrong! And I am getting sick and tired of the...
