  1. Dumb question of the day.

    I have also come across this problem. I don't know why but it doesn't always do it. Must be solvents of the glues on the vinyl coming through, So I always cover any sign blanks going out in silicon backing paper and tape to the rear as their is always rolls and rolls of that as waste of the...
  2. Mutoh 1608HS brand new and missing nozzels

    I would not be happy with a new print head! Your machine was bought new and then replaced with their demo unit, which is second hand?!! The only thing I would be happy with is a NEW printer. If you buy new it should work perfectly. My 1604 is nearly 5 years old and I have only one blocked black...
  3. 1614 Firmware Update

    I wish I was back on v1.09 firmware as you have total access to all the machines functions. Did you know that Mutoh have now written the firmware in such a way that you cannot downgrade back to a previous version! I initially was told that upgrading my firmware would excercise the tank valves...
  4. 1614 Firmware Update

    Azmaestro We have had no problems using Lyson/Nazdar inks (until the firmware update!) I am currently running a bulk ink system with no problems for the last 3 months. The price for these inks is roughly £25 for 500ml which is a massive saving. No blockages or dodgy problems with smart cards so...
  5. VJ 1604 Maintenance Station

    I think the housing you are on about is the pump. No you shouldn't be able to get air through them, or very little. Once you have the new maintenance station installed pour a little cleaning fluid into it and do a head clean. You should see the fluid and ink coming through the pipes to the...
  6. 1614 Firmware Update

    Why are you updating the firmware? My reason for this question is the main reason Mutoh updates firmware is to STOP users using third party inks. Believe me I updated to 2.0 on our 1604 and magically it no longer accepts Lyson/Nazdar cartridges anymore! So if you are using other suppliers inks...

  8. Special Wrap Artwork Needed

    Josh I'm just looking for the elements. I appreciate the time to build into the finished item!!!! I have allocated 20 hours of design time. I'm using this as a company showcase and also a way of learning to fine tune effects in photoshop, illustrator and Signlab. Cheers SC
  9. Special Wrap Artwork Needed

    Hi Josh In reply to your post about the tank wrap. The Vehicle is a 1992 Volvo 940 Station Wagon (it's a tank already!). This is white in colour. All I am really after is the basic elements as vectors wheels, tracks, vents, ammo, etc. I understand I will have to do a lot of custom stuff on it as...
  10. Special Wrap Artwork Needed

    I am trying to create something like the tank vehicle similair to the one on http://arizonacolor.com/ A number of wrap artwork suppliers are advertising this same vehicle but are stating when asked they cannot supply this. I don't need the exact one but I'm looking for something similair for an...
  11. Monster energy green

    You can get close to this colour but you will be limited using cmyk. Chads mix is about as close as you can get. Please do not use this to recreate Monster logos or graphics or as Sightline saysthey will come after you! Just try to remember the only 4 colors a CMYK printer can print correctly...
  12. E082 Err Wiper Sns

    I have had this error and the grinding noise. I have found that it is mainly caused by the wiper assembly sticking because of waste ink around the base of it. So the remedy is clean this area thoroughly once a week (you should be doing this anyway) making sure the wiper assembly is not stuck...

  16. Problem with Convex

    I would never use convex on a boat! It's too thick and it is not made for boat graphics! What posessed you to use convex? I would have used wrap material or something like it. SC
  17. Wrap a RC Truck

    Lettering or Wrapping any model is not a viable way of making money. I find the smaller the item the harder it is to graphic or wrap. If the customer insists do a supply only as you would be quicker doing the full size vehicle. SC
  18. Decal printing

    I don't know about you guys but something is very strange about this thread! Why want to make something that has such tight deadlines and so little money in it? Some people are all for making their life hell. My personal advice is walk away from this job or you will be burnt! This sound...
  19. Experience with aluminum composites?

    I have been using this material for years in the UK. Only problem is after a couple of years sometimes you can get what looks like corrosion around the edges as if water is getting between the laminated parts. SC
  20. What spell checker do you use?

    No spell checking!!!! The customer has to proof and check spelling. If it is wrong it's not my fault. Also I will not type large text in so if it is supplied as a text file it's still their problem. SC
