  1. valuejet ink problem?

    If you're not getting ink during cleaning cycles, you have one of 3 things that could be causing problems. First, clean the rubber seal around your capping station. Debris on this seal can cause suction leaks during cleaning. Second, your ink drain lines could be clogged. Pour a little denatured...

  5. Red top blade holder/60° blade advice?

    I just put the 60 degree blade in the blue holder and it works fine for me. I think the "red" and "blue are just for quick visual identification (not positive though).
  6. MAC Users ? ? ?

    This is the firewall inside osX alerting you to a program that is tring to make an outside connection. If you select "Forever" then okay, it won't ask you about that connection again. Usually, if they have "apple.com" in the message, they are okay to allow forever. If you question the validity...
  7. Favorite masking tool?

    The Weeder Sheeter is the best thing out there. You are not limited to the length of the table you are working on. One person can apply tape to 20' or more of material without stopping. I have mine mounted on a small square tabletop with the weeder set 90 degrees to the sheeter. Pass the vinyl...

    In Flexi, look under the Edit menu, look at Color Settings and check your Rendering Intents. Like mentioned earlier, the rendering intents for vectors and bitmaps can be set differently to achieve different outputs. Try setting the bitmap intent to the same intent as the vector intent and see...

  10. adhesive

    There's a product called vinyl-off that I've had good luck with. It works through the vinyl to loosen the adhesive and it seems to soften brittle, cooked-on vinyl.
  11. Making the switch

    I did spec one out at the apple store... that's where I got the price I listed earlier... but on the $8000 price, I did not add the $3200 32GB ram upgrade because that's just plain stupid. You can get ram upgrades for a fraction of that through third party ram vendors. I also left out the 3 $300...

  13. Making the switch

    not being facetious but... where do you purchase macs that cost $15k? I recall the Lisa and some other early apples costing that much, but not in the last 15 years! (as of right now, a top-of-the-line mac pro with: Two 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 16GB (8x2GB), Mac Pro RAID Card, 640GB 7200-rpm...

  15. Mutoh or Roland question.

    Both brands are great. When I weighed the choice between Roland (print and cut) and Mutoh (separate printer and cutter), I had to look at the type of work I do. Most of my jobs get laminated, so that means printing, removing material from the printer, laminating, and then returning the material...

  17. Mutoh vj1604 - waste tank not filling up

    I just went through this a few weeks ago. Pour cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol through the sponge and capping station. Squeeze the lines and try to break up as much of the coagulated ink as possible. Try running a pipe cleaner down the tubes if you can get down them from the top. Also use a...
  18. Takeup reel reset

    There is a setting for "prevent stick"... turn that setting off and it will stop pre-feeding before printing.
  19. Printing around 1500 sq. ft. per day on value jet need help!

    Mutoh has the new 1618 Dual Head machine with 480 sq ft per hour capability. If you already have ValueJets, why not stick with the same brand for consistency and less of a learning curve...
