  1. SC540 Head Board F3 Blown

    OMG!!! If a fuse blows it normally specifies a fault on the circuit. The fuse is their to protect other parts of the circuit. This sounds like your head board or cables has a fault. I would be replacing these items first BEFORE fitting a new fuse. SC
  2. VJ1204 that sat for 3 months

    Unless this was stored with the cleaning cartridges in it or left on standby (running cleaning cycles). You will need a new head. These machines thrive on being used a lot. But they are a disaster when used little or not at all. You can try soaking the head for long periods but if blocked you...
  3. Droplet sizes?

    FatCat What version of wasatch are you running your 1604 off? I am running Wasatch 6.2 on our VJ1604 and can't find an ink cost estimator on it. I also thought like me you were running bulk inks through your machine. So ink costs must be a hell of a lot lower than if you were running OEM inks...
  4. Does my customer have a dirty mind ? ?

    LOL You could not have made that as well if you had done it on purpose. SC
  5. Ugly truck with stupid body lines..in my opinion

    That is nothing compared to the new Ford Transit Custom. Even the lines you think are level are not! It is as if the designers have made a car derived commercial vehicle. The Transit Custom only looks good wrapped or with no graphics at all. At least your truck has some sort of levelness! SC
  6. I am looking for some cake design artwork

    Cheers for that but sadly the client hasn't a clue what they want!!!! I have just spent 4 hours designing something to what specs they gave me and now they "Just don't know"! I wish their was an app that was available to get out what is in someone's head!!!!!! SC
  7. I am looking for some cake design artwork

    I am looking for some cake design artwork for a customers car. The customer supplied me this picture of a vehicle they have seen on the internet. Does anyone know where to get such artwork? Cheers SC
  8. I quit a year ago, but now I'm back to Signmaking, questions..

    Getting back to the question asked.....- In answer to your issues... 100% payment either up font or on day of completion, whichever one you feel comfortable with. I normally find if the client can't afford the whole bill before the job proceeds, I am 100% certain they will not be at the end of...
  9. wind load on signs

    I had a similair issue with a job many years ago. it was a 45'x10' Aluminium sign on three 8" wide posts. In the end I got my ground engineer friend to work out wind loadings etc. but this did not help for what happened next. The sign was sited on a small hill and on the day the sign was fitted...
  10. Terrible Print Quality - Need Help Troubleshooting

    I didn't even realise this machine existed!! When was the manufacturing date as their is very little info on it anywhere? It seems a very over complex machine especially having 12 print heads and by the videos I have seen of it in action very very slow print speeds. I do not want to sound harsh...
  11. 3M IJ-180C for Wraps

    Our favourite wrap material at the moment. Super conformable and takes a lot of beating. This material maybe a little overkill on a flat panel trailer unless it is covered in rivets and fixings. SC
  12. "Ink Near End" - What do?

    Firstly I thought the 1204 was superseded a long time ago (2008/9) by the 1304 and now the 1324. But it seems to come up on Mutohs US web site so it must be still sold over there. Secondly unlike the bigger 1604, 1614 and 1624 with subtanks the 1204 does not have internal ink subtanks. Meaning...
  13. Customers wants me to install this.....

    I have come across this stuff on truck deflectors. So it must be strong stuff. SC
  14. Possibly time for a new printer.... suggestions.

    I think on the latex machines you have to replace heads every six months. But they are a lot cheaper......but for how long? SC
  15. Possibly time for a new printer.... suggestions.

    We are also in the stages of sorting a new printer to replace our vj1604 or run alongside. We originally looked at the 1304 but I am glad we went for the bigger machine. But on looking at what is new and innovative their is very little that is new. Unless you are moving into latex printers I...
  16. Looking for Real Tree

    Hi all thanks for the advise but I am in the UK. It would not be wise especially if I damaged a panel and I had not printed it myself. I am not keen on using another design as the customer has insisted it has to be real tree. I am looking at the aurora graphics stuff but it is a lot more...
  17. mutoh vj 1304 head replacment

    I have not done a head replacement on the valuejet personally but I have watched it being done and would feel confident to replace one myself. Their is very little adjustment required as all 4 colours are on the same head. I would replace the whole maintenance station as the pump and wiper...
  18. Looking for Real Tree

    I have a client who wants his Toyota Hilux completley wrapped in Real Tree. Either APG, Xtra Green or Xtra. Does anyone know where I will be able to purchase this artwork? SC
  19. Laptop vs Desktop

    The answer to this question is Desktop all day long. I have had a number of laptops over the years and all have had failures that resulted in the machine been uneconomical to repair. At least with a desktop if a video card, network card or PSU goes down you can replace with a new one. Doing...
