  1. Question Made in China Laminators?

    Okay, I probably wouldn't order one of these machines as it scares the begeebies out of me to think of not having parts or service readily available BUT check out some of the features for the cost. I especially like the cutting feature (scroll down to see them). I don't think I've seen...

  6. Track Battle: Take up System Versus Printer

    I'm new to takeup systems - Yes, 5 years of running to the printer every 10 minutes is over (thank God)! My question: If your takeup system tracks the vinyl to the left or right will it cause the print to track in that direction as well or will the printer's pressure rollers win the battle...
  7. Printer Tracking Problems??

    Having major issues with our new 1624 not tracking properly. I'm loading and setting the media (wrap vinyls) by the book. It buckles the material on the feed side (between roll and pressure rollers) and forces me to move the media to the right to work the buckle out. Ends up tracking to...

  10. Media Set Problem on ValueJet 1624???

    For some reason I'm unable to set the media properly on my new VJ 1624. (guessing this is the problem) After 10' to 25' of printing the "End of Roll" sensor shuts down my print job. The vinyl seems to be feeding unevenly and is buckeling up on one side or the other (infeed side) and triping...
