I have noticed a fault which I have no idea whether it is a RIP problem or a machine issue. These GB stickers were stacked up to my printer with a 0.03mm gap. Yet when it prints them out the gap can vary up to about 1mm. The issue is if you reset the job the gap is always spaced out differently...

I have been given a job something like what I have attached. This was created by applying translucent vinyls over the inside of the panels. What I am trying to do is print a pattern something similar to this and apply it is a single print. Question is can I print onto clear with my Mutoh...

Yesterday afternoon I set of 3 separate prints and lastly a layout print of 3 files from Wasatch to our Valuejet 1604 and left it merrily printing away. I checked it to confirm colours and quality during which time I set up a few other jobs from my next print run. Well everything was fine...

I have run our Valuejet 1604 over the last couple of years on bulk ink. We have smart cards to the rear which has worked faultlessly (except for a set of chip readers which is due to old age). On Tuesday Evening whilst waiting for some new ink and cards I ran the printer over night. When I came...

Hi all I run my Valuejet 1604 with an aftermarket bulk ink system which has worked very well for the last few years. About 6 months ago I had a problem when reinstalling a cartridge after fitting a new smart card (to reset the ink levels) I damaged a couple of the internal chip readers. At the...

Around our local town we have a large amount of stainless steel directional signs and Information boards. Stainless Steel has been used as we are a coastal town and used to have a huge steel industry. These are manufactured from Brush Stainless Steel but the finish is discolored and tarnished...

We have always had an issue with this plotter cutting contour cut prints and it seems to get worse the longer it is. On checking today when the plot had finished (and run off) the left hand roller was no longer on the material. This is a machine problem and not a software one. Is their a way of...

On my Mutoh VJ1604 I still have sub tank low errors after replacing the sub tank valves. What should I change next? I notice the sensor is triggered by a metal plate attached to the sub tank bladder, which seems a little hit and miss. It must be still working as the machine would not work at...
