Alright I have been noticing this more and more lately. It is more noticable with glossy materials. When printing certain dark colors like blues and blacks I can see VERTICAL banding all the way across the print. It looks like the color is lighter on the vertical lines. It is very...

This isn't a very constructive comment. There is obviously a problem that has nothing to due with the fact I am using a low quality setting. If the setting isn't suposed to be able to print properly they wouldn't have added it as an option....This particular job is a billboard so quality...

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot or diagnose this problem?

I was thinking ink starvation as well...it makes sense.. As far as I can tell it only does it in banner 4. I use banner 2 all the time with no issues. The machine just hit its 1 year mark and has no warranty !@!! It is a VJ 1614

I dont have a pic handy to show you but here is the deal... It has been going on for a few weeks now. When printing on banner 4 setting (the fastest as far as I know) it will start out printing just fine. Then about 3-4 minutes later some of the colors like blacks, reds, greens, start to get...

Does J-Star have anything to due with the company clear-star? Also, who does your product info translations? Everything I just read about J-star has so many typos or mispellings...not very cunferting ( :) )...

Ok it seems I keep getting these weird lines in my print. They go away after doing a cleaning, but come back fairly quickly. From the pic below you can see it is only doing it in the blue, not the red. The pic isn't the greatest but you should get the idea. ALSO, I noticed on some other...

Hardly any sign shops around here laminate anything, unless its going on a vehicle. I do a lot of 4x8 advertising signs and such that I never lam and have not had a problem. I always offer the service at an additional charge, but most of the time my customers choose to go without, and live...

OK I just printed a 10.5x36 billboard on my vj 1614. It was a mostly 100% darker blue coverage, with color values rough 100cyan/80magenta/x/x. I noticed the ink status #'s before and after I printed, however I don't know how accurate those #'s are on the printer. I used the following % of...

I don't know if this should be posted here or in the flexi forum, but I figured most people using a mutoh is probably using flexi. I have a VJ-1614 and I have 2-3 10.5'x36' billboards to print. These don't need to be very high quality because of the view distance, I will probably use the...

I don't know about you guys, but here in St. Petersburg FL there is a lot of competition. There are 2 large wholesale banner companies in the area charging between $1.50 and $2 a square foot for hemmed and grommeted banners on 13oz vinyl. They use multiple vuteks. Ofcourse, we still have the...

Are we allowed to post prices if we are not a vendor? I didn't want to post here unless I know im allowed lol..

I picked up a 1614 64" for $13k at the end of its 1yr warranty. It had low miles and in great shape, seems to be doing good so far. I wouldn't spend 19k on a new 54", look around and find a deal. They were selling the 64" for 18k with a 2yr warranty in december...

I have a VJ 1614. I can easily reach and clean the top rail and 2 front rails, but I cant reach the bottom rail too well. Is there a tool or something to easily reach the bottom rail? I can get to parts of it, but the rollers keep my fingers from being able to slide across it. Thanks!

That's odd. Mine powers off just fine with rollers up, but the print heads must be on LOW. But yea, I do the same as everyone else...handle up no media print head low.

Have you had the printer running before or is this your first time setting up? Make sure you set your IP on your nic card to user specified. Also make sure you set the IP on your printer (make sure they are different.) Then finally make sure you give the correct ip in Flexi for your...

Sorry, it is a Mutoh Valujet 1614

I have googled and searched these forums without a single match to this error!? The printer was printing fine then just stopped with flashing lights reading this error E016 TLB-S(03) What is TLB ? What does this error mean? I am about to restart the print, but im using 3m 180 and already...

I was wondering if anyone has tried printing double sided banners on the valuejet models? I have a 1614. I sometimes get requests for banners that are truely doublesided and not just two pieces folded over and sewn. Here are my main concerns: 1) Assuming you can do it, are there any bail...

Thanks guys! I changed out the spittoon pads before it started, the hair or fiber on the head makes sense. I will take a look at it in a bit!
