  1. Vutek 3250 secondary ink tank not filling up

    Issue solved To all of the people that tried to help me: Thank you. The issue actually involved a few things. I'm posting this so it might help someone in the future. My case was extreme though. So several things were causing the problem. Imagepress was right on one of them. 1. There...
  2. Direct to fabric print using a Vutek GS2000

    material and location Well there are materials, we do it all the time. The question is, are you willing to buy a whole roll in order to do this one job? Or will this be ongoing? Where are you located? Another option, instead of outsourcing to dye sub (which we also do by the way), you could...
  3. New Gold Vinyl gone bad

    651 failure Correct me if I'm wrong. But it looks like the vinyl is on an RV. Truck maybe? This vinyl will not last long on vehicles. The washing, the polishing, and the elements will all play a part on this. Plus to get your warranty, the manufacturer will ask for a sample of the...
  4. Mimaki jv400-160LX COLOR FADING OUT IN PRINTS

    not a fade out That doesn't look like a fade-out to me. It looks like your machine is dropping one of the jets. After your "fade-out" happens, run a jet test. You'll be able to see which one is failing. It could be a dirty jet, head, print head. Whatever you call it on your machine. You...
  5. Vutek 3250 secondary ink tank not filling up

    done that I keep forgetting about everything I have done already. I have changed the primary filter already. I have also switched the channels completely through the ink board and the backplane board. In this case, I switched the bad channel 2 with working channel 3. When I purge channel 2...
  6. Vutek 3250 secondary ink tank not filling up

    new "symptom" I have changed the power board, the controller board, the pixel board. Tested the backplane board (passed), the ink board (passed). New floater in the secondary tank. Now for the new find. I tested the pump (they are 24v) with a 12v source, and an 18v source. The pump worked...
  7. Vutek 3250 secondary ink tank not filling up

    mux board Would you happen to know how I can test the mux board? My co-worker replaced the pump. I can hear the pump working when I purge. I have purged with the tank open to see if it fills up. The floater all the way down to signal empty. Some ink gets in there, but not enough to print.
  8. New to the business

    I agree I agree with Kentucky. You have to know, at least the basics, of the sign industry. Either work for a while in an established sign company yourself, or hire someone with experience. Yes, they get paid more, but you won't be completely loosing your profits like you are now. Think of...
  9. Program for printing business

    Program for Sign companies A couple of companies I have worked for use Cyrious. Its the best that I have used so far. Quotes, production, time allowed for each stage, changing stages in production (this helps knowing what stage the job is in, i.e. printing, or shipping, etc.) and finalizing...
  10. Vutek 3250 secondary ink tank not filling up

    ink tank not filling up Sorry, I forgot about that. We also replaced the floater, both with a known working one, and a new one. I'm beginning to wonder if the passive board is the culprit.
  11. How do I print Red Sox red and blue

    printing colors In your color choosing window, where you would normally find the cmyk input numbers. Right under the RGB input, there is the hashtag input. Hashtag colors are web colors by the way. 90% of printers will choose coated over un-coated. Ink is shinny after all.
  12. 4 foot width adhesive vinyl. Is there larger widths?

    vinyl If this is adhesive vinyl, the biggest I have seen is 54". There are larger vinyls, but they're not something I would use for a high end print. If this is non-adhesive vinyl (i.e. banner material), it can get as big as 194" wide. Even Ambercrombie panels their displays. Most of the...
  13. Vutek 3250 secondary ink tank not filling up

    The ink systems on the Vutek 3250r and 3250 are identical. So here's my long shot. I am having a problem with my Vutek 3250R. The secondary tank in channel 2 is not filling up. The pump, filter, and the valve entering the secondary tank have been replaced. When the machine is started, after...
  14. Vutek QS3500 password

    Vutek password Most of the time, the default password is Vutek01. I know this is months after, but it might be useful to someone else.
