Swap out another cart then try that one back in. Or contact your supplier and get them to send a new card. SC

Using Wasatch 6.2 at the moment but we have always had issues were sometimes it will not create the contour cut file properly. I have been in touch with Wasatch and as per usual they blame the hardware and software it runs on. Strange as when you reprocess the file it works fine! Wasatch just...

I may as well be the first to answer on this one. I reckon you are already using the correct material for the job especially with the rivets and conditions this is being used in. As I have found, if you find a material that is easier to remove usually means it does adhere that well in the first...

Workflow....What Workflow!? There are four of us and although my 2 partners have both their limitations One of them designs like he is a 2 year old and needs good crayons! We employ one other guy who is proficient as an installer but is limited in designing but this is good as he knows his...

How can I help you? Why would I want to connect to Teamwiever control?!

Well it is very rare for a second user Valuejet to come up for sale in the UK and when they do they are prohibitivley overpriced. At the moment buying a new one is out of the question as funds are very low especially after getting my valuejet back running. The new Valuejet 1624 runs different...

Is this a usable machine as a second machine as it seems their is varying opinions? SC

Thanks for your message on signs101. Do you run a rockhopper 2 as you seemed to have a few good words about it? Thanks Sean

The DX4 is in the mimaki JV3 and their is plenty of them still about. I think the capping station and pump is also the same as the JV3. I have noticed that the alignment is a pig to setup as they are all individual heads. But why is the rockhopper 2 such a horrible machine and the people with...

What print heads do they use? SC

I have a Valuejet 1604 already. We had an issue were the 1604 was off line for over a week and it caused a serious back log on jobs. So I am just looking for a back up machine that will probably run in the background and be used mainly to print banners. SC

I am looking at acquiring a Mutoh Rockhopper 2 64" cheapish. The guy reckons it hasn't been used for 4 months and when last tried a test print it was very blurry. Is their anyone can give me some advice when buying one of these machines? I have a Mutoh Valuejet which I am fairly familiar with...

Does anyone know any information on the epson sc30600. I've been offered a good price for one but their is limited info on them. Thanks SC

Is your test print good? If you have a lot of nozzles out you will never be able to come anywhere near proper matches. I have had a new print head installed in my 1604 recentley and even though the previous head had only a few nozzles out the colour matching has improved loads. What RIP are you...

What type is the original file you are printing from? What material are you printing onto? As the material looks very rough/textured. Are you using the correct profile for the material? SC

I would love to help you. But I cannot understand you! SC

Soaking the head for prolonged times can actually promote cross contamination of the lines. I would check if the inside of the capping station is touching the head and if it is change it. When was it last changed?! I would then set up a print 48"x48! that is just a full size magenta block and...

I have used convex with good results and another material called substance which is marketed in the UK. I have tried other suppliers but after extensive and costly experience. But these materials are expensive and a nightmare to cut out afterwards. If you expect to make money doing this sort of...
