  1. Need Help Mutoh Vj 1324

    Did you have cleaning cartridges in when you ran the cleans, or were the slots empty all together? If nothing was in the ink slots when you ran a cleaning, you now have some air in the ink lines. Little charge may be necessary to get ink back into the lines. If that fails, you may need to use...
  2. Mutoh Valuejet 1324 [kcmy] Broken Chip Error

    Out of curiosity, has the issue been resolved? I have had the same issue and the first thing I now look for when I receive the, KCMY (Broken Chip) error is to investigate the Ink ID Board Assemblies. They are the sensor where the ink chip makes contact and are being read for info, down at the...
  3. Plotted Vinyl Numbers, Vendors?

    do you, or can anyone refer me to a vendor that can plot vinyl numbers for an add a year banner? Different colors and styles needed, as well as a transfer paper. These would be purchased to send to customers that order an add a year banner product. Looking for permanent adhesion.
  4. Mutoh VJ 1204 Banding Issues

    In the utility mode there is a PF adjustment. It puts lines at predetermined distances apart, and you measure them and either add feed or take feed away to make the measurement accurate. It looks as though the feed is not long enough and the passes are overlapping.
  5. splattering print/overspray

    The K head is not looking well, lol. Time for replacement, possibly the Cyan as well. Try a head soak for the Cyan before replacing. Also the alignments are off as I can see Cyan around the K and Magenta around the Cyan in the print. Anyone have a head alignment manual for him? I bet with...
  6. Roland Ink Costs question.

    The rip you are using may have a cost estimater built in, check for that. If you have the file I can enter it into our software and check it.
  7. splattering print/overspray

    Looks like the Cyan head has some missing or deflected nozzles. I bet the K is deflected as well, would you show a nozzle test for us to see. I would probably rule out static as that usually happens to the Cyan, but out of curriosity, what material is that printed on? Do you have the same...
  8. Neon/Flourescent colors

    Try sending to your printer as a spot color, using Pantone Solid Coated #375. Make sure your software is set up to recognize the spot color, and give that a try. I can only get to within 8-9 dE. using this method. Hard color to hit on a CMYK printer.
  9. New 5 Mil Grey Back Air Release!!

    Sign me up for two rolls of the gloss in both products. brian@halfpricebanners.com
  10. Adjusating pinch roller pressure Mutoh 1204

    Umca has it right, the sensor is not seeing media, or the media is bowing up allowing light into the sensor. Put something over the eye, but please be careful not to run the roll out as the printer will continue to lay down ink.
  11. Correct Color (Mike Adams) Thank You!

    I re-linearize our fleet four times per year. Does a great job of putting a band aid on the differences in color between the same model of printers concerning changes in the status of the print head due to use and variance. Changes in seasons here also affect the printers color accuracy. It's...
  12. New Mutoh 1324 not printing as good as my old 1204

    Try variable dot setting, helped mine out a bit. Certain solid colors turn out just like altereddezinz picture, almost smeary looking. After working with Mutoh, we could not come up with a fix for this issue. If anyone figures this out, you'd have a job as their head technician for certain. I...
  13. Mutoh 1614 E067 PF Encoder error

    If the head was at the left side and it still throws the error, chances are it's pointing to the board. I was hoping it would make it to a certain area on the T-Fence and throw the error then. Does the head move freely when released from the maintenance station? Good luck, keep us updated.
  14. Mutoh 1614 E067 PF Encoder error

    Power down Take the head to the left side manually Start machine Does the head make it all the way "home" before sending the error code?
  15. Grain in colors.

    I notice quite a few deflected nozzles in the K nozzle test especially. This will definitely play a role in what you are seeing. Have you tried any head soaks? If you could, post a picture of the utility mode nozzle test, as that will show more specifically what the issues with the print head...
  16. Why does a business only accept wire transfer for printhead??!!

    In the famous words of Monty Python, "Run away!" I have tried to deal with similar companies and at the last minute decided to opt out, when it feels wrong chances are it is.
  17. Printing on Mesh Banner Material

    If there is going to be an issue with the backer coming off during printing, you will be able to tell before you start printing. I always do a "backer" check before printing just to see how well it is attached. I also find that if you string up a leader to the take up, there will be a lot less...
  18. VJ-1628 printer test print all black blobs

    I've had this happen also, I unplug and discharge the machine by turning it on and off while unplugged, and power on after 5-10 minutes. Next step, inspect and re-seat the head cables. Then check the T-Fence. With the print going all the way to the edge, on ours it actually printed past the...
  19. Falcon Outdoor 48 - black stopped printing suddenly

    You can run a little charge, or better yet as to not waste inks for the other colors, use a syringe to pull ink just prior to the damper. Then use a hemostat with tubing on the tongs to pin the line so the ink does not go back in the line. Hook up damper and run a strong clean, should be good...
  20. Mutoh VJ1304 not printing Magenta...

    If you haven't removed the station yet, I'd do a head soak while waiting. I should have read first. With the station out, I don't know what could be done?
