  1. Mutoh Status Monitor Cost Estimation Issues

    I'm pretty sure it does include that, but the amount is around .1ml for white and .055ml for color. Color is easy because on an all white print that is the approximate number you always get. White is based on the lowest I found across medium size print jobs that shouldn't have had white at...
  2. Mutoh Status Monitor Cost Estimation Issues

    I would get that if the statistics were per day or per week, but the stats are for each print job. Also, I have jobs with white underprint that show as less white used than some of the color only prints. From looking at multiple jobs of data, it seems to account .1ml of white and varnish as...
  3. Mutoh Status Monitor Cost Estimation Issues

    I would understand if it was a small amount, but white is tracking almost 10x the amount used as any of the inks that were actually used to print, and even varnish is showing more used than the highest color. Keep in mind this is tracking of a single print job that only has a color layer, no...
  4. Mutoh Status Monitor Cost Estimation Issues

    I use Mutoh Layout & Print2 -> Mutoh Layer Editor as my process for printing on a XPJ 461UF. I've been trying to use the print history in Mutoh Status Monitor for cost estimation of ink, but I noticed something really weird. On a color layer only print, the heaviest 2 ink usages are white...
  5. 461UF - UH21 to US11 ink

    Faux leather had some potential. I did some tests using the rigid ink and adhesion was really good, but it cracks quickly when flexed in one direction.
  6. 461UF - UH21 to US11 ink

    The final word my reseller gave was full replacement of basically everything the ink touches was required plus a firmware rewrite sent by Mutoh after a tech completed all the other replacements. Mutoh is probably being over cautious, but there is no way around the system so you are stuck with...
  7. 461UF - UH21 to US11 ink

    Sure, there may be trace amounts of the previous ink, but I can't imagine that's enough to cause any real issue, or that it couldn't be fixed with X flushes before you switch inks if Mutoh cared enough to create a process. I can only hope they come to their senses since this is a relatively new...
  8. 461UF - UH21 to US11 ink

    This screams proprietary bs and not mechanically accurate. The system has the capability of flushing with solvent, and I doubt there enough of the original ink left to interact at all. If there was, longstore wouldn’t work because the trace amounts of ink would dry and break the system also...
  9. 461UF - UH21 to US11 ink

    I'm looking to change from rigid to flex inks, but after you initialize the printer it seems to become hard coded to the ink type you used. The official Mutoh answer is the only way to change from rigid to flex ink in the printer is to replace all lines, head, capping station, etc because...
