hello all! My old Mutoh 1204 is finally beyond repair... so I'm shopping for used printers (Ontario Canada) - There seems to be more Rolands available than most brands. Any opinions / problems? I'm currently looking at a VersaArt RS640. I thought I read somewhere that an error code on any...

Thanks for all the replies! Sounds like some great options. I actually already use Sinalite for paper products.... looks like some options there for vinyl print products too. And I get the problem of "merchant member subscription" - so feel free to send me a personal message if that's the case...

Any recommendations for a wholesale vinyl printer, in Ontario? My old Mutoh Valuejet has quit working, and I'd like to just sub the work for now. Any recommendations and / or experience is appreciated!

thanks for the quick reply! I was expecting that, I guess.. so I now have the board pulled out, it's soldered on. When I check resistance across the fuse, I have 12milli-ohms resistance instead of "0" (as I would expect for a fuse) - I should assume this is blown then?

I installed a brand new printer head on my VJ-1204A printer and now i get no ink at all any ideas a s to why

Thanks Justin, those were all the settings I was looking at too... just wasn't fixing it! However... turns out there's a margin setting right on the printer - and it overrides these Flexi settings... ugh. Mine was set to 25mm... changed it to 3mm / all is right in the world again :) (... and we...

Hi all! Its been a long time since I've had a question I couldn't find an answer to here.. but here's one I'm stuck on. Recently updated to Flexi 19 - after doing the setup for my Mutoh VJ1204 the printer begins printing about an inch in from the right side (used to be about 1/4 inch) - I can't...

Hi James, if you still have the 1204 service manual, I could sure use one!! Thanks, Conor (gansignworks@gmail.com)

Summa - 180gms with a sharp blade - go up to 200 as it wears.

hmmm... well, this might spin this thread off-topic, but hopefully not... This seems to me one way in which the sign industry has changed so much. To me, there is no such thing as "cheap" or "economy" cut vinyl signs anymore. Just too much labour in cutting/weeding/taping/ etc When someone...

I can't think of any obvious reason.... But is there any reason not to simply use vinyl print media, in place of "white cut vinyl" just to save stocking extra inventory?

I have had this problem as well - 3mm PVC - "economy" (have to look up the number) Oracal vinyl - full bleed prints. Edges start curling off within a few minutes to an hour. I tried cleaning the PVC with rapid prep, let the prints dry/cure overnight, then tried a different brand of vinyl (some...

I'll check that out, thanks! Alberta is not out of the question either, just gonna take a little longer for shipping I guess.

I'm looking for a company to print some 8 x 8 ft flex face (banner) in Ontario. Since I can only print 54 inches.... Any recommendations out there? Thanks!

thanks guys, I kind of suspected that. I've never gotten into "maintenance mode"... guess its time to learn something new! :)

whenever I start up / at the end of a print job - I get this error: "Life Times [CR Motor]" I just hit "Enter" and it clears... I'm assuming this is in reference to the carriage motor... but is it a built in timer, that I can reset somehow (because its working fine) or do I actually need to...

I got one about 5 years ago from this fellow - it was well priced, and is still working great! http://www.macmedia.com/

lol, this is going right into a thread I had going a short while ago, about printing back-lit panels. I am re-doing one right now, with cut vinyl, because the customer found the "washed out" look, when lit up to be unacceptable :( There's other threads here too, on that subject. I just figured...

thanks Rocco, I'll check that out first.

so, I am pretty much losing any lexan/plexigless/ back lit business I'm quoting on, to "Flex Face" panels. Which I have no experience in whatsoever. I've asked suppliers for "help" and got pretty much nowhere, then of course I remembered my best source for info - signs101! :) At this point, I...
