Hi we still have one of these! But just use the plotter as it isn't a bad plotter at all being graphtec. The printing side is HP not Encad and this is were the problems start. Not only is the media expensive the ink sets are stupid expensive, and HAVE to be laminated for them to last longer than...

We have this error whilst it is sitting idle with the power button on. I gathered it was in sleep mode when the power button was in the off position is this correct? I'm still struggling to figure out which valve 1234 equal CMYK! My yellow ink indicator is still going down! SC

In round the back of my printer their is limited space so I can't get in without moving loads of stuff and the printer! So listening for which valve it is isn't an option. SC

I have came acroos this before and have managed to disconnect below the valve and pull some more ink through and this clears it. It normally happens on the black and understanbly blocks more often as the black is the densest colour. I am cycling the valves in the secret menu. But it says valve...

My question then is how do you get the middle 8'x4' correctly positioned/sized in a 24'x4' sign? Because their is no way of fitting it as one complete print. SC

What is strange is I have got our printer printing an exact 8'x4' and when you lay it up it fits perfect. But when you fit it it's short! SC

This is a problem we have had for a long time. When fitting a 8'x4' digital print onto a 8'x4' sheet it can be up to 1/8" either side to short! This is even when laying the print on the back sheet onto the panel it fits perfect! We are hindging from the middle and applying with 2 people. Do I...

I have the first print it ever printed and to reprint it now to the untrained eye it is the same. SC

After 5 years we have now paid of our VJ1604. But in reallity it was paid for in the first 3 months of ownership! In the life times menu list it reads:- Head **** Pump ***** CR Motor **** PF Motor **** It has about 5 Cyan nozzles out and 1-2 Black ones. The Magenta and Yellow are fully...

We have a old graphtec signjet pro2 which has the hp 2500 printer built in. This was marketed as a sign making machine but was far from it. It used expensive inks and print media also if you wanted it to last longer than an hour you had to laminate it. I personally would avoid it as the only...

Just to add my bit!!! I normally get bored with a job after the fourth or fifth change! I normally tell clients at about the third change that too make any further changes will incurr into the overall budget of the job. My latest client wanted a whole new look on her newly acquired premises and...

Sorry, but trying to explain PPI is different to DPI. The only problem is they work in DPI and explaining PPI is a head ache! I realise I will have some designing and tweaking to do but I just want to scare them from doing it themselves. SC

I have a customer and he is determined to design the wrap onto his own vehicle. I don't want to sound like I don't want his effort but I want to give him a list of what size and resolution of artwork I require and in what file format. My question is what do I want to ask for? I am only asking...

Yes it has some great new features. It still has got the smallest/useless manual of any design programme I know of. I'm just a bit confused that you can't see solid cut files just for the plotter in VPM and you still have to use the old cut manager. SC

Well after a year of contemplation and lack of funds. We have just bought our upgrade from 7.1. This now gives us 2 designer and 2 print and cuts. Desperatley needed another designer and managed to get it a free copy thrown in with the deal. Now I have to spend the weekend installing and...

We have had this problem before!!! Anything we make or supply is made to twice the specification for projecting signs and then securley fitted. I had a client who has now called twice to say we haven't fitted a projecting sign properly and on both occasions it had been hit by a vehicle and...

As the tiltle says how many nozzles blocked before you would need a new print head? Just a little question as I would like to know as mine is now coming up 5 years old and has in total 5 blocked/dead over the CMYK. I reckon if I knew then what I know now when we first got our printer their...

That's it..... Thanks a lot SC

It was like a cabinet or a plastic bin with fans in it!!! The guy showed you how to make it on here I just can't find it anymore!! SC

I have seen someone posted a way of building your own out gas print drying machine. Can anyone direct me to this post?? Thanks SC:toasting:
