  1. Mutoh VJ 1624 NOT PRINTING

    Okay. I know it's frustrating. My thought is that at least I can still get parts for the 1624. It's work keeping up with the maintenance. I change out the maintenance station every 3-4 months. I change the wiper and pad every month. I also order this chemical to clean the mutoh...
  2. Mutoh VJ 1624 NOT PRINTING

    Hmmm...Did you run a charge? You might try a little charge, long clean and then a nozzle check. You didn't list that you tried that yet and I'm just trying to think of the steps I take with my machine.
  3. Mutoh VJ 1624 NOT PRINTING

    You might have to prime it. I've had that issue before. There are two hoses below the station. I use two syringes to try and pull ink from the lines while the head is locked over the station.
  4. PRINTING GREY ISSUES

    ??? Isn't that what I said?
  5. Stainless Steel food truck

    There was another question like this recently. I did a coffee truck about 3 or 4 years ago that I wrapped in 3M Matte black. I then overlayed graphics using Arlon 4500GLX with a 3420 satin lam. No problems as far as I know of. I've seen the trailer a few times and it still looked pretty good.
  6. PRINTING GREY ISSUES

    The Mutoh is funny with greys. I use a spot black and I'll use a precentage of that black to get a good grey. So find one that is close to grey you need. Then go to the Output settings tap in the Rip and Print manager. From there, select color settings. Then click on the rendering intent tab...
  7. Question Best sourced for retractable banner frames

    I don't think there's any really good retractable banner stands. They're all kind of crap IMO. I tell my customers the same thing. Most of my customers "accidentally" let the banner go and I end up having to recoil it for them. I get mine from JDS. They have some for about $30.00. I use ultra...
  8. I got a problem _ print this material

    I print a lot of window perf on my Mutoh 1624. I've never seen this happen. I agree that it could be a bad roll. Is it coming off the roll like that before printing or just after?
  9. Banners

    Try going into your color settings and clicking on the rendering Internet tab. Then go to the vector line and select pure hue. You can select m+y (or red). See if that helps.
  10. Polycrete expansion foam

    I saw this you tube video of utility workers using it to set a utility pole. Don't know if it's worth the money. I'm a 45 year old female and those bags of concrete get heavier every year. I usually have help if I'm doing anything bigger than a 4x8. I'll probably just stick with concrete. Thank...
  11. Polycrete expansion foam

    Has anyone here used expansion foam to set posts? Not for anything large. Was thinking of parking signs or maybe a 4x8? Is it worth the money?
  12. Anyone have an idea what causes this?

    I have that same thing happen on Arlon SLX on my Mutoh 1624. Only on that material though. I haven't been able to figure out why.
  13. Cutting Letters Smaller than 1 Inch

    Thank you! I'll give them a try on my next order.
  14. Cutting Letters Smaller than 1 Inch

    I've never seen such a thing either. I've been meaning to look into Ninja transfers. They print the transfers and send them to you. i think it's work looking into. I stay busy with sign orders that I really shouldn't be messing with shirts anyway. I don't know why I keep taking shirt orders lol
  15. Cutting Letters Smaller than 1 Inch

    Are you using a printable heat transfer or a cut heat transfer? I do both depending on the artwork. I have a hard time weeding the printable heat transfer so I try and avoid text with that material whenever possible. However, the cut HTV comes with a sticky back liner that holds the vinyl in...
  16. Can I overlay printed graphics on Matte Wrap Black vinyl

    Here is a 3M 2080 matte black wrap on this trailer. I used Arlon 4500GLX w/ 3270 gloss laminate for the printed logo. I did this in 2020 and the wrap and graphics are still holding up.
  17. Need Help Neon color match

    To answer yoru question about grey: In Flexi, I use values of black to get a grey color on my Mutoh Valuejet 1624. It works like a charm for me. When I go to print, I go to the output settings, select the color settings button then go to rendering intent. On the right the Pure Hue buttons will...
  18. Canvas printing too light

    We slow down our printer to unilateral pass so that it's only laying down ink in single pass
  19. Wall primer

    I haven't removed a lot of them, but the few that I have removed have come down pretty clean. At the most some paint has come up but nothing major. I haven't seen a need to replace any sheet rock.
