Hello all! As always thank you in advance for your help. This forum has always been invaluable! I'm currently running a Motoh VJ 1204. I do a lot of solid one or two color prints usually around 4 ft. by 8ft. I've been having trouble lately with spotting issues where it seems the ink isn't being...

Fatcat: RGP Adobe 1998 profile was used in the print above. :( Floater: the ink limits are set at 100 and I can't increase them above that.

Alright, I printed with the perceptual intent and with an exported JPG (RGB) and it gave the results below. Still with the same issue now with the blue pretty off as well. :(

I've attached a picture to show. The left is my print, the right is what I'm trying to match. My red comes out orange and faded while my blue comes out more faded.

My doubt isn't with the ink. I've used jetbest in a Roland sp540v without a single change from the OEM ink and I couldn't be happier. FatCat, setup is as follows. In Illustrator, I'm using the Pantone Solid Coated color chart. My heater settings are 40 preheat, 42 platen, and 50 dry. 8 pass...

Huh, I did not know that. I'll be sure to try that tonight!

I'm designing in CMYK. Are you saying if I save the file in RGB, it will pop more than it does when I save it in CMYK?

Meaning the types of profile I use or what I design the graphics in? The profile I believe is a CMYK profile. I design everything in illustrator, then export to EPS, then import to Flexi Production and go from there.

I experience this on all materials I print to. Adhesive backed vinyl, and outside glossy and matte banner vinyls. I'm using Flexible Production 8.1v2. Nozzle check looks good, missing one or two.

As always, thank you in advance for any help or insight you can provide. I have a Mutoh VJ 1204 running bulk ink cartridges and jetbest bulk ink. I'm printing on an Aspire (manufactured by a local sales company, Denco sales) Gloss 3 yr. digital white vinyl. I'm using an Oracle 3651C profile...

Would you happen to have a vj1204 service manual?

guardiangraphics, I have a Mutoh 1204 and ended up replacing the print head a week ago. It is a DX5. I bought from a gentleman on Ebay. I've included a link below to his listing. It turns out after exchanging a few messages with him through Ebay, he lives in Tualitin (45mins away from me) and...

Where can I find this generic cheaper version of the DX5 head? How would I identify it is the correct version? Does your source have a place they prefer to go to? Alright, so if I get this correctly, the water based head has the black ribbon cable connector on it while the solvent based head...

I'd like to start by thanking everyone in advance. This forum has been an invaluable resource to me over the last year. Now, onto the good stuff. I have a Mutoh VJ-1204 with a DX5 print head. The print head is clogged and I have a few options. First is to get a new head, I have no idea where I...

401Graphics, how has your experience been with the Mutoh 1204? Did you like the wave printing the Mutoh utilizes? How was the speed and was it reliable? Edit: CP signs, how do you like the Mutoh 1204?

I've been using Denco up to this point, didn't know of anyone else around that supplies or deals. I just noticed you are in Portland! Hello from across the river! Soljet, got it! We put a bulk ink system on ours too and ran the day lights out of it. Not interested in buying theirs for two...

MrSalumi, Thanks for responding, I am planning on buying a used printer and have a pretty good relationship with our dealer in Portland. I'm trying to stick my feelers out there and see where his prices stand in the market. What is PCCS? What model Roland do you have? How do you feel about...

First time poster here. I'd just like to start off by saying THANKS! Earlier this year I was dropped into a situation that involved me, a broken Roland SP540V, a user manual, and a need to produce 500 32 sq. ft. signs for our company. :help I didn't even know was solvent printing was. Long...
