I think a good many are just naive thinking these machines are just as simple to run as their home inkjet printer so buys in thinking this will be an easy business. Then another group who buys older used ones thinking they can buy that 15K+ printer for 2K and start a sign business cheap not...

Same one we use for at least 20 years. I order it through RS Hughes, usually a dozen rolls at a time for $2.63/roll.

2 years seems reasonable to me. 15 years is insane. Been running machines with Epson heads since about 2002 and typically last around 3-5 years but have had a couple only make 2 years before going bad. This is nothing Solventinkjet should be responsible for...

We use an older Acroprint FaceVerify clock. Works great and prevents any possible shenanigans. Super easy for the employees too - they literally do not have to touch anything, just walk up to the clock and look at it. Acroprint has a newer version now called BioLook that can use facial...

I'd have to agree. From those photos the head does indeed look fine. Only other thing I can think to try is some long nozzle soaks (like several hours with the cap filled with cleaner, machine unplugged and head parked on the cap) then cleaning cycles and see if more clears up and comes back...

Did you move the head carriage to the left end service area and inspect the actual bottom nozzle plate on the head? I have to agree with Solventinkjet, that looks a lot like the head itself is physically damaged or possibly some very heavy gunk buildup.

Only thing I can offer is if you already have two Mutoh machines than a third will be the easiest to add to the mix and run with right away since everything will already be familiar and can probably use the same inks as the other two as well.

No idea..... mine is way longer but I have not changed it in years. I did find that you can use ASCII in your custom title.

Flexcon might have a vinyl and lam that would fit the needs. They are who makes Busmark and Busart vinyl for bus ads and wraps.

We have never used heat on a laminator in over 20 years here but it depends on what you are printing with. For just solvent of latex printed standard vinyl its not really needed at all. Yes any heat will cause the laminate to stretch some and cause the material to curl since the laminate is...

Different RIP software generally licenses one of several actual RIP engines like APPE (Adobe PDF Print Engine), Harlequin, etc. Different engines have different methods of rendering color, support different dither methods, etc. so its not always easy to get a close match between two different...

Likely your only shot would be to contact Thomas and see if they might send you an engineering drawing which is unlikely unless it is brand new and the owner asks them to. Probably be easiest to just make a template from a some good photos and some measurements.

That's from being rubbed and impacted, most likely by fenders. They probably left fenders hanging over the sides from the cleat that is clearly visible directly above the graphics while under way. Or had fenders hanging from that cleat while the boat is docked. Either way that is also too thin...

Another option is a panel saw with a blade specifically for aluminum. This is what we use. Cuts 3mm, 6mm ACM and aluminum beautifully. I think you want a higher tooth count for clean cuts in soft metals and plastics and maybe a different brand blade might give a better result. This is the blade...

Not sure if on later versions it works but on v2 we have a Estimate2.lic file they emailed us at one point which goes in the main folder (program files x86/Estimate 2/) that can be copied and pasted into the same folder on a new install and it works. Have to install on the new computer, open it...

On boats we always use edge sealing tape along the bottom edges.

I know you can hold the shift key when clicking the top left main menu button and that will make it show an additional menu item, Estimate Health Check. That gives a couple of functions to check the database and whatnot.... Maybe that will help and fix it.

Something I've warned about for years now in regards to "automatic" updates in a lot of software as well as how most cloud software does. I can recall more than once where a Windows update breaks Windows itself or causes problems with Adobe or Flexi or some other software (even on threads right...

Nope.... they do not have that level of detail for areas like that.

Been using them for over 20 years on literally thousands of vehicles now. Generally speaking, yes very accurate but on some vehicles it is always best to get some manual measurements like if the roofline slopes way inwards or it has deep recesses, or something but typically we just add make sure...
