  2. print quality issue

    First check you have no blocked jets. Then it is time to PF adjust. I'm not at work at the moment if you have a search on this board the answer is. SC
  3. My new desktop background :)

    Loving that....LOL But normally the logo fills 99% of the sign area and the client wants a comprehensive list of items they sell and contact details that will be legible from 1/2 a mile.!!!!!!!! Also could the sign be 1/2 the size with a bigger logo :) SC
  4. Paint cure time?

    If it is 2 pack paint and has been through an oven it should be OK. If it is an oil based paint about 2-3 months, and even then it will be soft in places. But if you are concerned still, and if this sounds strange! Smell the paintwork. If it still smells of paint/solvents it is still not...
  5. Error code E065Err PF Motor ?

  6. Pigment vinyl

    Please do not use this machine to print these graphics. I have just binned all our material for our pigment ink machine. This type of ink and material is only really for use inside, no matter what anyone tells you. We had so many failures on signs and graphics we had to switch to an solvent...
  7. Build your own arcade system

    Yes the XBOX is running multiple emulators and these are the original arcade games. The likes of space invaders, galaxians and thousands more originals can be run through CoinOps. I have CoinOps 4 on mine and i don't think I have played 5% of the games! The latest coinops 5 has over 22,000...
  8. Build your own arcade system

    Yes I like this a lot but what machine will be running all the games? Can I suggest an original XBOX that has been chipped and has Coinops 5 installed. This will give you every conceivable retro arcade game you could ever think of! Do a little research the original XBOX is the ultimate over...

    G.D. PM'd you. SC
  10. Printing Red

    This problem will never go away. The real problem is the CMYK ink sets on digital printers. Yes using spots or RGB is better but you will never get a rich deep red or orange or green or burgundy! The only 4 colours for definite you can print is Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Black and sometimes the RIP...
  11. Door Jam Wrapping

    Scare this client off as their is double the work in the door jams than the exterior. I had a client on Tuesday after the same thing and he choked on the price. Clients wanting door jams etc. should really be taking the vehicle to the paint-shop. This person is wanting so much more than what...
  12. New Equipment Advice

    We are running a valuejet 1604 with plotter and laminator. Now over 5 year old and has been the best investment ever. we are still on the original printhead! you no the saying "print your own money"? Well this is it signs, banners, labels, posters, vehicle wraps etc. I am thinking of adding...
  13. Sure! We can get you vector art.

    Yes it is so difficult to make customers understand high resolution raster and even harder to understand what vector is.
  14. VJ 1614 Firmware

    Hi Speaking from exactly the same issue. I was badly informed that upgrading to the latest firmware it would solve a tank valve issue I had, it did not. Mutoh has put some sort of subroutine on the new V2.0 firmware that does NOT allow you to downgrade the firmware. Believe me I tried every...

  18. Supplier goes Rogue

    I am in the UK. You will end up in court and blacklisted if you do not pay the supplier or the guy that made the job for you. Chalk it up to experience and never let the two meet or have any contact with each other. You should have got the materials delivered to you and then delivered them to...
  19. Wasatch 6.2 Cutting problem

    Every now and then when cutting a file from wasatch the plotter does not read the cut marks and destroys the print if you are not watching! We are running a Mutoh Valuejet 1604 and a Mutoh SC1400D plotter. It is as if Wasatch doesn't complete the cut file properly after processing the print...
  20. Non-Commercial Wraps

    I get 3 to 4 request for carbon wraps a week mainly roofs or bonnets. Over 90 percent freak so i just tell them to go price the real thing. In most cases we are cheaper than the paintshops to do a colour change. I reckon they just see sticky back vinyl and think cheap! SC
