  1. Printer not printing!!

    What is exactly the F2 fuse? Does it have a part number and what is the exact specification? Is there a definitive size? Sean
  2. Printer not printing!!

    Can I test this fuse with a multimeter with the board still in the machine connected? The Machine has been knocked off, disconnected and discharged? Sean
  3. Printer not printing!!

    Does someone have a picture of the layout of the motherboard and positioning of fuses that could have possibly blown. Desperation setting in!!! Thanks Sean
  4. Printer not printing!!

    Do these fuses just clip in? Or are they simply soldered to the board? What I am asking is "Is it a relatively easy job soldering them in and will someone with basic soldering skills be up to the job?" Does anyone have a picture of where these fuses are? thanks Sean SC
  5. Printer not printing!!

    The nozzles are clear. When it does a head clean you can see the ink through the pipework. SC
  6. Printer not printing!!

    I will check them in the morning. Is their any special way of powering down the machine (disconnecting) that I should be aware of? I just don't want to make anything worse. Cheers Sean
  7. Printer not printing!!

    I am in the UK so that is not an option! Also a fuse only pops for a reason (I was trained as an electrician many years ago) so repairing the fuse may not help. SC
  8. Printer not printing!!

    Our VJ 1604 has stopped printing. I set a print of earlier and realised there was a wrong colour on it as it was printing. So as usual I stopped the file processing on the computer and canceled the print on the printer. I changed the colour and set it of once again. I was out of the room for a...
  9. Mutoh End of Roll message

    This is the sensor on the rear being to sensitive. Can sometimes be the branding on the liner causing this. Just cover it over mine has for 4 years. Just never let the stock run out!!!!! SC
  10. Large Banner on Chainlink Fence

    I do not think it is advisable fixing a 8ft x 60ft banner to a chain link fence as it is way to big and it will cause loads of damage either to the chain link or even ripping the posts up. I have our advertising 20'x5' banner on a fence into our industrial estate. After 3 years it has had 3...
  11. Customer who wanted the cheap option!!!

    As of today I have changed my company policy. If someone comes in my shop and "wants a cheaper option". They will be told "The cheaper option is not an option if the job is to be done correctly" They will be handed a rather large disclaimer revoking us of any responsibility due to them insisting...
  12. Customer who wanted the cheap option!!!

    Hey some good replies here. Firstly I always wanted to use the more expensive materials and yes he had spoke to other sign companies and this is were he got the idea for the foamex. At one point he wanted to flex a banner across the whole thing but was warned away from that. The panels do have...
  13. Customer who wanted the cheap option!!!

    I can't force customers into spending more money I can only advise. Yes I should of walked away from this job. But this guy was insistant and he knew the problems and issues cutting corners would raise. Sadly all they see is how much cheaper it is! Luckily being foamex it caused no damage and it...
  14. Customer who wanted the cheap option!!!

    LOL that is exactly what I told him at the time of placing the order. Previous to this it had 2 pieces of 1/4" plywood as a fascia!!!! It is just a shame he thinks this is my problem. SC
  15. Customer who wanted the cheap option!!!

    Since about the may of last year this customer had contacted us to refurbish the sign on their shop. At last in early December he gave us the go ahead. The sign was a 36' x 4' light box with acrylic panels, but the 2 middle panels had been removed by the previous owner leaving 16' blank. I...

    Tel You do realise the printer should NEVER be turned off (On?Off Button on front panel)? When closing down at night it should be put to sleep not turned off. Do not worry I only found this out last year. If you knock it off with the cards in it will require restting when you switch back on...
  17. Do it yourself chrome wrap material

    It has actually less creases than some I have seen with proper chrome wrap !!!! SC
  18. gray looks pinkish

    Grays are a real pain in the A$$. Even with colour management! The problem is you can adjust your colour management and upset other colours. Adjusting certain RGB values of the grey colour even by one or two can make a whole lot of difference. If everything else is OK don't start messing with...
  19. I can say I am glad this wasnt my car.

    They were lucky it just didn't rip when they were yanking it off. They were a lucky pair of b*****ds. I didn't think it was possible to get a bubble in vinyl that big! I am on with wrapping my motorbike tank in carbon wrap material and to be honest it will not go on in no less than 3-4 pieces. I...
  20. Ready for a printer

    Lots of good replies here. Go the way of 2 machines 1 print 1 cut. This can almost double your output. Yes the printer needs to run as much as possible and when it is not running it still uses ink for its cleaning function. I'm running a Mutoh Valuejet 1604 and Mutoh SC1400D plotter. I would...
