  1. Need help Contour Cutting with Mimaki CG130FX

    I use primarily Mutoh Equipment but have an old CG130FX Mimaki cutter that is a great machine. I cut regular vinyl with it, but can't seem to figure out why it won't find the registration marks for contour cutting. I have tried type 1 and type 2 registration marks and have the manual for the...
  2. Mutoh 1204 horizontal banding / bad nozzle check

    Maintenance Station, Schmaintenance Station!!! I have a 1204, 1304, and a 1604. I do not pay ridiculous maintenance contracts or ridiculous service calls. Two were bought used and one I bought new 7 years ago from signwarehouse and I have printed like crazy with it. I have no formal training...
  3. value jet 1204 bad nozzle check on black

    Been having similar issues. First possibility Airleak. Could be losing prime while it sits and when it is used again the black may have traveled backwards into the line and no black is coming out right away. If you print several of the same black blocks in a row and it seems to be getting...
  4. I Need Some Installation Advice!

    I wouldn't call that the easiest, but yes vertical panels. The only thing hard about that truck is the horizontal fat half moon 'bumps' that are on the side. Three of them to deal with.

  5. Fluorescent wrap

  6. OK just finished my first box trailer

    I was gonna say Geek Wraps does it that way. They sell a vinyl 'slitter and go ahead before install, and attach panels together if they are doing a large van that's taller than a 54" machine, or whatever. They do it on the table and then install whole piece. Their tools are way too...
  7. ATV wraps

    It's not fun, but completely doable. Did a few of these. The plastics are molded with a silicone type mold release so wrapping one with a new finish is problematic at the least. when I do one I 1.) Wipe it with Acetone 2.) Wet- Sand the crap out of it with 320 grit 3.) Wipe it again...
  8. How the hell do I reach this to wrap?

    I feel your pain, brother! You don't know how much it made me grin to see this. I had 8 of these and cussed more than in my entire lifetime. My method: Standard scaffolding, with one "X" cross brace taken out of one side lets the scaffolding slide right over the front of the van and...
