  1. Mutoh Valuejet 1204 service manual

    I am having the same problem now, how did you work this out?
  2. Vinyl recommendation for digitally printed contour-cut wall graphics

    I was wondering if it would be possible to use Oracal 3651 for instance, and laminate with oraguard 215, if necessary. We've been installing this material on latex-coated MDO with no problems.
  3. Vinyl recommendation for digitally printed contour-cut wall graphics

    We'll need to cut whatever material we use also on a plotter for some large lettering and semi-intricate designs. Sorry, forgot to mention that.
  4. Vinyl recommendation for digitally printed contour-cut wall graphics

    Please advise on a type of vinyl with and without laminate that can be digitally printed for a permanent installation onto a satin finish latex painted wallboard for an interior wall inside a gym. I'm also interested in a removable type that can be used too and how long it lasts. I'd like to...
  5. New error?? E016 TLB-S(03)

    Followup. I can't hear too well. When the error occurred, my brother was just exiting through the shop entrance when he heard the accompanying warning sound, stopped looked around at me and asked if that's the sound the printer makes when it runs out of ink. I quickly looked over at the...
  6. New error?? E016 TLB-S(03)

    I received a similar error, half-way through a 9' print: E016 TLB-L/I [02] Now if this is an anomaly, a computational error, I want to be able to keep this from happening again. This apparent malfunction provided me with the experience of having to throw away some costly material and time...
  7. Applying computer-cut graphics onto acrylic faces by hand

    edgette and Scott, the graphics set include 14.5" x 120" rectangle with reversed lettering. Also 6' x 20" lettering only. Lastly, an 8' x 20" nike-like swath. I contemplated using my laminator, but opted for a table install of the transfer tape. It's on straight and bubble free. Could go wet...
  8. Applying computer-cut graphics onto acrylic faces by hand

    Thanks Scott, I'm applying these graphics onto 5' x 10' faces either Monday or Tuesday inside a shop with the faces laying flat on a table. You understood correctly about my concerns of working out fluid bubbles once the graphic had dried out and it was time to remove the transfer tape. I...
  9. Applying computer-cut graphics onto acrylic faces by hand

    Ok, Thanks! This was very helpful. I'm applying cast vinyl on a translucent white high-impact acrylic face that oddly, won't be illuminated. I do like your method of using clear faces, backing up the reverse graphic with trans white vinyl. I guess the air line around the graphics adds a nice...
  10. Applying computer-cut graphics onto acrylic faces by hand

    Can someone please suggest their methods here. I'm looking to see what other experienced pros are doing. I've tried to follow 3M's recommendations, and I've not been too thrilled. I've had a few times where I've done this type of sign, but mostly it's been digitally printed panels which I...
  11. Applying computer-cut graphics onto acrylic faces by hand

    I'd like some advice for applying cut vinyl onto acrylic. The graphics have transfer tape applied to them. My thought is to use Rapid Tac, but am concerned about the vinyl not completely laying flat once the transfer tape is removed after it's dried out. What's the best way to apply these...
  12. High impact acrylic sheet?

    Can you use regular acrylic for the hanger bars for the high impact acrylic faces? Or does it need to be the same material?
  13. High impact acrylic sheet?

    Please advise on the suitability of this product for a 5' x 10' double-faced pole sign about 17' feet high at the top. My concern is whether high impact acrylic will offer enough protection against winds over the years and is non-yellowing. The product I'm using is called Tuff Glass. Any...
  14. Printing large banner w/ Mutoh Valuejet

    I installed the banner this morning at 7 am. It's really easy to wake up at 4:30 am when you don't smoke, drink or get laid too often. The whole job took me less than 2 hours, mostly because their power was out and the gate was difficult to pull back and forth. They timed an electrical repair...
  15. Printing large banner w/ Mutoh Valuejet

    I'm using 13 oz. material, with powertape. I'm installing using ball bungee cords. I can only attach to the vertical rails as the horizontal rails go through rollers. I'm going to use either twist ties or a screw with a short aluminum or plastic spacer screwed into the back of the gate rails...
  16. Printing large banner w/ Mutoh Valuejet

    I printed it. Powertaped it, with grommets. Now I'm concerned about the gates shadows as sunlight comes through the back. Should have used a blockout material. Any suggestions? I'm thinking spraying a black coat and then white coat over the back so it doesn't heat up. I'm going to take it...
  17. How to remove hand-lettering from a sail boat's gel coat

    Are there ways to remove brushed-on One-Shot® hand-lettering from a sailboat's gel coat? I'm going to remove this lettering from two sides, a couple of feet below the deck. I'm concerned for the surface and what happens to it when using caustic chemicals. I've used Easy-Off ® oven cleaner on...
  18. Printing large banner w/ Mutoh Valuejet

    Well, I see your concerns. Thanx! I'm looking into the mesh material soon. If I can't find good advice regarding sewing, grommets, rope, etc. from my [idiotic] supplier, I'll come back here and pose some more questions. I'm going to ask the customer to throw this concern at his engineer and...
  19. Printing large banner w/ Mutoh Valuejet

    Thank you all for your helpful comments. I'm using Pro Ban, 25 yd face out. Supplier cut the media to 51" on the edge nearest the print head. I've noticed there are fibers there, like spider webs. I'm thinking of first calling them to make sure they understand they probably cut the wrong...
  20. Printing large banner w/ Mutoh Valuejet

    I'm seeking advice for printing a large banner with a Valuejet 1204, 48" printer. The vector file will be printed on 51" wide 13 oz vinyl banner material, 20' long. When printing banners, I've had problems with buckling followed by head strikes and with media tracking off and then...
