That depends a lot on your business model. If you do wraps/vehicle graphics and charge your customers $15/sqft, then saving $0.30/sqft on ink doesn't make sense. It doesn't make much more sense if you are selling banners and signs for $6 - $8 /sqft. Not everyone works on the low volume...

Yeah, I know he works for Mutoh, and I doubt he's wrong. However, I'm not going to accuse a member merchant on this board of advertising fraudulent specs on their hardware until I have proof. This week I'm printing four identical 4'x8' banners for a fireworks tent. I will print one banner in...

I have a high-tech, proprietary method for avoiding that problem. It is a trade secret, but I'll be generous and share it. Anytime I set the machine up in a configuration I know I won't want for the next print I stick a hot pink post-it on the control panel with something like "Change the...

You like to lead with the chin, eh crash? :-) From one newb to another . . . the Roland is probably an SP 540V print/cut machine and is one of the all time favorite printers for small wrap shops. Roland has a very solid reputation for quality and reliability. As long as the machine has been...

I'd say "yes" to that question. You're only blowing up by about 400% (measured in linear pixels). I have used Genuine Fractals to make decent 48"x20" 300dpi prints for store POP signs starting with 5"x2" 300 dpi images. That's close to a 1000% enlargement. I don't know anything about...

Nope. Looked fine when backlit by the store lights. I'd take a pic for you but we just built a wall in front of the window and haven't installed the fluoros for the backlighting yet. Seriously, just go buy some and try it out. SW has a 26" x 16' roll of that stuff we used for $20. That's...

We printed some backlit material on a VJ 1204 for a window display. We didn't have a profile for that specific media, so we used the Mutoh One-in-All 720 profile. The ink density and saturation looked fine, but the media seemed to like magenta a little too much. We backed off the magenta...

I just got a second to check SW.com about the Prismjet 48 specs. Go to Signwarehouse.com Click on "Color Printer Deals" graphic in upper right Click on "48" MUTOH-made PrismJET VJ w/Flexi Sign Pro" graphic Click on "More Printer Info" Click on "Compare its speed to other all-in-one...

AS = "Ask Signwarehouse" as in: "Ask Signwarehouse" why your salesman never told you that you were getting a firmware crippled printer. or "Ask Signwarehouse" why there is nothing on the website that would indicate that a Prismjet 1204 anything other than a stock Valuejet 1204. or...

So what, exactly, is the point of a 540x720 banner mode if the 720x720 is faster and better in every respect? Mutoh touts the 540 mode as "perfect for banners." Is the 720 banner mode just "more perfect?" :wink:

I've been using Banner 2 on a Prismjet 1204 and I just tried out Banner 4 to see if it works. It does. So what modes are missing? BTW, is it possible to update the firmware and restore the missing modes? I'm perfectly happy with my Prismjet, but I don't much like the idea of crippling a...

Hmmm. Maybe that's the problem. I'm using 8.5 v1 and Flexi never lets me print wider than 47.24" even when I use a uni profile and flush into the box. So where do you get v2? When I hit About/Check for Updates in Flexi it says that there are none available. Is 8.5v2 a beta release?

I don't think the "deal" is going anywhere. When we bought our 1204 in March all the other Mutoh dealers in the country had already sold through their 1204's and were carrying only the 1304's. I asked my salesman if SW got "hung" with a whole warehouse of 1204's. He laughed and said that...

So far I've printed vinyl, banners, backlit material and wall material on our VJ 1204 and have been pleased with the results. I use Flexi strictly for final print layout and RIP. Design is done in photoshop. There are a few of things I don't like about it. The VJ is SUPPOSED to be able to...

I'm a former computer tech and I (and all the other techs I know) buy almost exclusively from newegg.com. Newegg has the same parts for $387.98 + shipping (around $8). With sales tax Frye's will be about the same. Make sure Frye's is giving you the retail version of the CPU that includes the...

Yes & no. I was told by a rep at Signwarehouse.com that Mutoh was going to continue to manufacture the 1204 (aka Prismjet VJ 48") just for them. Other dealers who aren't quite so cozy with Mutoh stopped recieving the 1204 a couple months back and are now carrying the 54" 1304. The 1204 will...
