  1. Thoughts on "swamp coolers"?

    Swamp coolers don't work so well in humid environments. Out west where the air is dry they are great. Here in NC they only add to the misery IMHO.

    96# or 108#.
  3. Media Question

    Not an keep the price down where he wants it.
  4. Media Question

    Ok. Need a gloss self-adhesive vinyl with a 96# or heavier liner. GF has a matte with a 96# and a 108# liner but will not for any reason consider manufacturing even a sample of the gloss version unless I buy 17+ rolls. I know, I know.....why does anyone need a liner heavier than 90#. Well I...
  5. Mutoh VJ1304 not printing Magenta...

    I wouldn't buy a maintenance station from anyone other than a reputable Mutoh dealer. You will regret it in the long run. I bought about three of them and they didn't last nearly as long as the ones from Mutoh and I was constantly taking them apart and fixing things here and there.
  6. installing printhead for vj1204

    5-10 minutes max. If it takes longer and you don't hear the maintenance station working then either one or more of the other subtanks are completely full. There is a trick to filling only one of the subtanks. Turn the printer off and restart and go into the maintenance menu (when you see the...
  7. Mutoh VJ1304 not printing Magenta...

    Make sure you pull the maintenance station apart very carefully and take pics as you go so you have a better chance at getting it back together correctly. I have pulled them a part probably 30 times over and can do it in my sleep but the first couple of times I did it I made some mistakes that...
  8. Mutoh VJ1304 not printing Magenta...

    With that much ink residue on the maintenance station it looks like you may have a broken ink tube inside the pump. That would explain the ink not pulling through the lines. You can either replace the entire maintenance station or just the tubing which would require you to dissasemble the pump...

    Have you tried an ink charge yet?
  10. Mutoh VJ1304 not printing Magenta...

    When did this happen? After you installed the new print head?
  11. Mutoh VJ1304 not printing Magenta...

    I wouldn't if I were you....:). The time and money (in flush and spent ink) it would take the flush out the other color would cost more then is necessary. Sounds more like an air leak somewhere. These occur mostly with the dampers. Sometimes it's as simple as the o-ring between the damper and...
  12. 3rd party inks for ss21

    STS ink (https://www.stsinks.com/)also has great SS21.
  13. installing printhead for vj1204

    Your magenta subtank is very low. To fill it go into the maintenance menu (power on and as soon as you see the printer model appear on the screen push the up, right and down keys simultaneously until you get into what some people call the "hidden menu"). One of your options will be named "Ink...
  14. Can 1L bag ink be installed in 1324 one at a time?

    It worked on our 1624.
  15. Mimaki ends relationship with Grimco

    STS Ink (stsinks.com) has great ink. We are very happy with them. We switched all of our printers (5 Mutoh's - but know of several using their Mimaki ink) over to STS inks several years ago and couldn't be happier.
  16. Magenta hazing on Mutoh Valuejet??

    High or low head height? Or does it do it on both?
  17. Potential Problem with Magnetics

    We had a similar issue a few months ago with most of our flexible magnet. I think thats what it came down to. Most of the issues though were with people who rarely or never washed their cars and if they did they did not remove the magnet when doing so.

  19. Mutoh VJ Lines in Print

    Going to second heyskull. Seen this before several times and it has either been the CR or Head Cables. Probably wouldn't hurt to replace both.
  20. Vj 1204 printhead

    If it has been sitting for 3 years then there is definitely no way to get the head back. Prices on the DX5 print heads have been going up lately (now close to $3k). I would steer clear of the 3rd party heads. Although I have had great luck with some overall they are a waste of money. Find a...
