  2. Vibrant Print Colors?

    I will answer this with a big NO... you cannot get as vibrant colours with your printer as standard vinyl. You can come pretty close but it is just not there. SC

  6. Does your artwork fee mean you hand ownership to customer?

    Come on people if someone charges $200 for a design they should own the rights. You will end up with a lot of headache in the long run. SC
  7. Valujet 1604w damper head - no ink at all

    There are two lines coming out from the bottom station and ther should be a connector on them, very fiddly so maybe take the whole station off as it only held by 2 screws on the right hand side. I find this blocks if you don't keep putting a little cleaning fluid in the capping station from...
  8. How much for that wrap?!?!?

    Well we had something similair from one of our customers. This was for a 7.5 ton box trailer which he wanted a full wrap. I worked out a price of £2500 and he nearly died on the spot. He reckoned he knew a guy who would do it for £300.....LOL Three months later I see this truck with vinyl...
  9. What Material Would You Use Here...

    I would print onto matt clear and maybe at a double pass just to ensure density. I would do a few test prints to test the way this prints. Also one thing your client must understand is this effect will only work if the interior of the shop is white or very bright! SC
  10. Best printer for doing custom stickers and banners?

    My advice is have a search through this site as everyone either loves or hates the machine they have got. Then you can make your decision based on these facts. SC
  11. Does your artwork fee mean you hand ownership to customer?

    If they are paying for your time and not getting anything, what are they paying for? I have a hard enough time getting anyone to understand the time a design takes let alone getting payed for it.. You are doing well getting $200 for artwork. I personally would give the vector but saved in your...
  12. Mutoh 1204

    Getting back to the point.... I reckon you have contamination. I would do a few more strong cleans. Then print CMYK bands till they all print CMYK. SC
  13. Wrip computer problem

    I've tried all them things and I seriously think this is Vista slowing things down. I have 4 other computers on our network running XP and they are super fast. I don't really wanna do a system wipe on this computer but it must be costing easily an extra 30 -45 minutes a day waiting for this...
  14. Mutoh 1204

    I would check the pump is pulling ink through to the waste tank. I have found if the workshop is warm the ink can dry in the drain lines, causing blockages. I pour some cleanining fluid on to the capping station pad and allow to soak all the way through the pump and outlet lines. Sometimes you...

    We have a dual core 2.6 ghz computer with 4gb of Ram 500gb hard drive and a ati radeon 512mb graphics. Over the past year it has got slower and slower to the point it is now crawling. All the RIP files are stored on our server and their is over 3/4 of the hard drive empty at all times. It has...

  17. What is wrong with customers!!

    I have had this client for the last 10 years, who has a little business which he runs round in a car derived van offering his services to local garages and bodyshops. He came into our shop on about October last year with a new car derived van and wanted a new idea...... but it had to incorporate...
  18. Blocked Nozzle on VJ1604

    Basically I have been placing a couple of small pieces of lint free cloth onto the capping station then pour some cleaning fluid from one of the cleaning cartridges and then reposition the print head. Then repeat every hour. I don't like leaving it over night to soak as sometimes I get cross...
  19. Blocked Nozzle on VJ1604

    We have had our VJ1604 since October 2007 and in this time it has and still is a stunning machine. Over the last few months I have had lines in our blue and green prints. This I know to be caused by blocked jets on the cyan. When doing a test print Magenta and Yellow are perfect. We have one...
