  1. 1304 remove cartridges

    What did you have to do to get the printer working? I have messed up and gotten mine doing the same thing.
  2. Vinyl Express Q100 (SW branded Graphtec)

    My older Q100 has gone a bit crazy. The cutter head moves horizontally along the machine in a very slow manner. It will go completely across the width of the cutter until it is stopped by the cross cut stub (which causes a Y position error). I talked to SW, they were pretty helpful, but I wanted...
  3. Vertical banding/streaking

    From looking at attached pics, what do you think is causing the vertical streaky look? It is almost only in the light blues and the pure c m y Kprints great. Since the streaks are isolated to the same spot each time, could it be encoder issues and is there a procedure for cleaning it? How about...
  4. How to ultrasonic clean my head and is this a good idea

    I used my Harbor freight ultrasonic cleaner last night. I put about 1/4 inch of cleaning fluid in bottom of it and placed head directly on bottom. I now have almost all of my nozzles back working. I am thoroughly amazed. I had been missing 20-25% of my black for a long time and one single nozzle...
  5. Now this is very cool

    attachment?
  6. PITA customer - need a favor from a couple of you

    Looking at the design, you maybe should have been clued in by the big word "NOW" in the business name, the timer in the logo, and the "same day service" on the tailgate. Apparently that is also your customer's expectations of your business. Too many, Signs Now, Signs First, and Signs By...
  7. 1204 Take Up

    I bought this exact unit off of Ebay from the same seller. It works great!! One thing though, I did have to modify it to fit my 1204. I had to buy some washers and longer bolts so that it would clear the legs. I can send pics if u need. it cost me about $15. The guy figured this out before it...
  8. print quality issue

    Do you remember what the specifics was on fixing this? I am having similar issues but with my blues. Thanks, jbennett
  9. 1204 maintence station problem

    Sounds like you need to take a syringe and pull ink to the dampers to get inkflow restarted. jbennett
  10. where doesn't frank put his face?

    I don't mind his face as much as I mind hearing about his fresh vinyl. I can nearly recite the on-hold spiel. It is time to change it up somehow Fresh Vinyl Frank. jbennett
  11. Who knows how to fix "destroyed" print heads?

    I have always heard to never force cleaning fluid through a head, especially the Epsons. (I have a DX5 with missing black nozzles); however, I am now commonly seeing folks saying that they are doing this. Does it work, or tear up more heads than you will ever fix? I'm sure if someone was going...
  12. I need a color chart

    Not wanting in a fuss, but everything that Bob has said so far is the way that I operate, and have little problems with my raster image colors and my RGB colors print much truer to the screen than my CMYK's. Not saying there isn't another road that leads to the same place though. jbennett
  13. VJ1204 missing black nozzles...

    Was wondering what you finally did on the black nozzles? I have had similar problems for a while and can overcome the missing nozzles by printing in a Quality 4 profile, but I am ready to gain back the flexibility of being able to run in a higher gear :) jbennett
  14. VJ-1204 DX-5 head recovery

    This sounds interesting. Do you have pics or more info? I am just not keen on pushing fluid through the head. Anyone else ever tried this? As long as the head doesnt physically touch anything but the cleaning fluid, is there potential for it to damage the head? Also, if I have to buy a new head...
  15. VJ-1204 DX-5 head recovery

    I have a lot of missing nozzles on my black. Have recently replaced maintenance station and dampers and performed lengthy head soaks. Printer prints awesome in quality 4, but just leaves streaks in black in my preferred graphics 2 modes due to the missing nozzles coupled with high speed I assume...
  16. Wanted - 4 used 220ml cartridges

    Prob bout close to 300 220 Mutohs with chips. jbennett
  17. mutoh vj 1204 dampers

    OK. After trying to replace the dampers with no success, I now have a printing problem. I am getting what I would refer to as very light but very noticeable cyan colored horizontal "splashes/raindrops". Any ideas what has happened. Have ran multiple cleanings. Is obviously most noticeable on...
  18. mutoh vj 1204 dampers

    I have it. Thanks though. I just cant get the damper cover up. Im probably just too afraid to put enough pressure on it. May have to get someone that has experience. jbennett
  19. mutoh vj 1204 dampers

    I am wanting to replace dampers on my VJ1204. I have taken the covers off, but can't get the piece that the service manual refers to as the damper fixing material that sets right on top of the dampers off. the manual shows simply rotating it up and no screws. Don't want to get rough with it. Any...
  20. Feedback from Flexi 10 users

    Been using it since the day it came out. The rip seems a little faster, but the transparency is the main thing. If you desire realistic shadows with adjustable transparency, then 10.5 is great. If not, it really doesnt make much difference between it and the older 8.1 version I had before buying...
