We have had this laminator for a few years. A couple of months ago the lock nut that stops the roller coming down to hard came loose. This has upset the way the machine applies laminate now. My question is how do I reset it back to what it should be? Thanks SC

I get this all the time. "Can we re-use what is there already?" It's all about money!!! I give this new business less time than its previous tenants before it folds. In our eyes a horrific way to manufacture a sign. The customer must be a real low baller to have accepted this even if it is his...

OMG this is so true Mosh. We outsourced for a few years but who we were getting it from were getting unreliable and the print quality had deteriorated. So we purchased our first solvent machine. When the installer comes to install the new machine he will give you so little info it will cover the...

+1 to all of the above comments/words of wisdom. The only way I would be investing in a machine of my own is if I had enough work to run the machine at least 20 hours a week. Any digital printer has more issues when not being used, but seems to be more reliable if you are busy. My printer runs...

Well we have just finished our first full truck wrap with Arlon DPF 6000. The material is great and sticks really well (read too well sometimes!). But comparing it with 3Ms IJ180, it is an inferior product. Yes it is cheaper and maybe a glossy finish than 3Ms product but to say this product is...

Customer comes to collect then says ... "You can see my dent and rust still, I'm not paying" !!!! Oh Dear!!! SC

Brilliant John, I couldn't of put it better......or maybe I already have. LOL SC

10sacer thanks for that, very informative. Just trying to inform and educate clients as I am getting more and more numpties who come in through my door expecting that a wrap is a cheaper way to fill holes and cover rust! My main issue is that wraps apply better to newer vehicles, due to them...

I am looking for a form to give to a potential wrap customer explaining how we need the vehicle when left with us. The issues I am having is that customers are leaving us vehicles with damaged paint work, rust and in a complete filthy state and cannot make them understand that the vehicle needs...

Is their a way of showing how many metres the machine has printed in its lifetime? I have an old Mimaki JV3 and I believe you can do this on this machine. Just was wondering whether it was possible to show on the Mutoh Valuejet? SC

Sean I think you can do this on the DX5 print head also by attaching a solvent manifold. But the manifold is bonded with sealant to the head on the DX5 unlike the DX4 which has replaceable seals. I would not know how to or what sealant to use on the DX5. SC

Hi I have had had similar problem to this. Does it jump when it does this, sometimes throwing an error? Most definitely an encoder disc problem. We eventually fitted a new encoder disc as the old one had warped and was causing all sorts of problem when it came close or touched the sensor. Also...

Has anyone used Arlon DPF 6000 series films for wraps. I am just trying to compare it to 3m IJ180 materials. Their is almost a third in price saving between both materials, and every saving counts. But not at the risk of failures! SC

I have a Valuejet 1604 with Wasatch 6.2 RIP. I am wondering what profile I should use when printing PET/POP UP Banner material? I have none on my huge list of profiles. Many Thanks SC

Some of the firmware on the JV3 is not able to be removed once installed (I think). If just to get the machine running again and the chips are out of date, not empty. Is to pull out the main board battery leave for a few minutes and reinstall. This resets the dates back to when it was built...

That's it.... Thank you so much SC

Thanks all. SC

Thank you everyone. What is skillz? SC

We have also used the SC1400D to cut moto-x graphics. To be brutally honest, "it is not up to the job". We had a guy here in the UK supply us a 60 degree blade but the amount of extra pressure and how slow the machine has to be made to cut the material it just wrecks the machine. It should be...

How would you create this effect? I realise this is just Stencil font but it looks like it has chunks and bits out of the edges. Almost grungy. Thanks SC
