So I made a post a few days ago about poor impressions of this pro model printer. I am still unsure of how well it performs because I just discovered the tech didn't install any profiles (it comes with generic) and the Vertelith software is BROKEN and won't download the profiles. More on this...

Hello, So I got my Mutoh 1641SR-P setup today and started doing some tests. For my tests I basically did a dozen color swatches including 4-5 that are way far out into RGB gamma like lime green, hot pink, bright blues etc and a few images with fine details and some smooth areas. For quality...

Just curious about the pro model. I have owned Mutohs for 15 years now and really love them. I see that the 1641SR Pro went away from having a DX printhead to some Mutoh designed printhead which makes me excited and nervous at the same time. Anyone have any opinions or input on this? I...

Hello Everyone, So I wanted to reach out to the community and see if anyone has noticed their normal products failing much sooner than you are used to? Over the past year myself and several other local sign companies I am friends with have been having jobs turn black or dark brown in the light...

Hello Everyone, So I have a 1624 which up until yesterday has been great. All of a sudden yesterday I noticed the left channel of the black head was only firing about the top 10-20% of it's nozzles in a sporadic pattern. After tons of trouble shooting, cleanings etc no luck. I realized the...

Hello All, I have some questions regarding installing small acrylic signs (less than 1 square foot) on to texture walls such as stucko and concrete. My clients have been installing signs for years on to these surfaces with a particular silicone (non shrinking) and usually vhb or similar for...

Does anyone know of any other vendors besides thebadwrap that offers that raster photolike image style templates? I had a client forward me some art today laid out on a low res template that looked just like thebadwrap but it wasn't them. The reason I'm asking is because thebadwrap doesn't...

Incoming complaint/rant due to extended frustration. So it all started 3 1/2 years ago. We purchased two brand new Seiko W54s from Proveer with 2 year warranty each. 6 months later proveer sells off to grimco. 12 months after than the first magenta head goes bad in seiko #1. Well to skip...

So we have a fairly new Seiko W54S that has very low mileage on it. I am having communication issues with Seiko right now so I am hoping to start troubling shooting it in the mean time. The Black Yellow & Cyan heads operate flawlessly without a single missing nozzle. The magenta head however...

This is sort of a duplicate thread of the one I posted in "digital printing" but I have learned that the issue we have is in a system that is designed just like a graphtec JS310-25ES 102" printer. Original link for reference...

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, I didn't not see a Seiko forum or a tech related one for this. We have a "china" printer that is 10'6" using seiko mainboards and heads. They are the newer Seiko heads like in the W54s. The printer is brand new and as we should have known...

I can post pictures later but basically I was wondering if one of you guru's had an opinion on the first things to check. I have owned and self maintained this printer for about 4 years now and have never had to replace a part other than regular maintenance stuff (with the exception of the...

Hi Everyone, Friday during a print my steel belt snapped. The printer is going on 4 years now and has never had a single part other than wipers and sponges replaced. Mutoh techs say that it is very uncommon for a belt to snap after it's first week in production. I don't see anything that...

Does anyone know a mutoh tech in the tampa bay area? Or even anywhere in florida that wouldnt mind traveling to work on a mutoh? Freelance is OK with me, the printer is not under warranty and I don't really want to spend the $$ mutoh expects to send a tech out.

I have no idea how to fix this problem. It seems to be doing it on all materials with all heat settings with and without wave, with and without bi directional. The right hand side of the image (54" wide) looks ok, but the far left is showing lighter color waves every pass. If I adjust the PF...

Does anyone here have Windows 7 that also uses the Mutoh edition Flexi rip software? I cannot get Flexi to work for the life of me. I think the program installed ok (it gave one error during install, but seemed to have succeeded) but when I start the program it tells me my hardware key is...

I seem to lose 1" for every 8 feet printed, on any material. I adjust my micro page feed per material for print quality, but I seem to always lose that inch! This is a problem now. What all sort of tests can I try, or what should I check to adjust this problem? I have a 1614 and I use the...

Is anyone else running in to these problems? I have tried more brands of vinyl than I can count and they all have similar issues. Random scratches after printed, odd shaped artifacts, vertical faded areas, etc.. All of these vendors around here use ONLY china vinyl and it SUCKS. I am pulling...

Alright I have been noticing this more and more lately. It is more noticable with glossy materials. When printing certain dark colors like blues and blacks I can see VERTICAL banding all the way across the print. It looks like the color is lighter on the vertical lines. It is very...

I dont have a pic handy to show you but here is the deal... It has been going on for a few weeks now. When printing on banner 4 setting (the fastest as far as I know) it will start out printing just fine. Then about 3-4 minutes later some of the colors like blacks, reds, greens, start to get...
