We have a graphtec designjet pro which has a hp designjet 2000/3000 based printer built in. I sadly would not like to run a business with this thing. The only redeeming feature is it has a quite good plotter/cutter attached to it. It was useless as a printer and expensive to run. I personally...

I would just explain that this is not the way to go. The prints will not last and it is questionable how well it will adhere. To be honest it will make them look unprofessional and like they have been cost cutting! SC

It seems to have stopped flashing up an Error. But is their enough ink left in the system. SC

What I want to know is why their is piss in your boots?! :Big Laugh SC

After a print today the machine flashed up E118Err SubTank Lo K. I have took the line out from the cartridge to the subtank just after the solenoid and pulled the ink back through (their must have been a block at the solenoid). But do I have to recharge the subtank? Can I just do the Black...

Hi Don't touch the LG VIZUON 3888 and laminate material. This cost us thousands of pounds of re-prints (using convex). APS reckon their literature didn't state it was for MX bike use but we had kept a copy. All print supplies (APS) refunded the material cost but it cost us dearly in ink, time...

It all depends on what programme you are using to create a pdf. I know Signlab, Corel and Adobe allow you to change the size of the pdf. SC

I have just noticed it's an eight colour machine. Does this machine have 2 Epson DX5 printheads or have they used something different? SC

I don't know if I would buy a machine because of how it looked at a show. I guess they made it look all sparkly.....LOL After looking at pictures of the Epson GS-6000, it looks the same machine as our Mutoh Valuejet 1604 and just has a different display. I will put this out to question is it a...

Hi I would check that the capping station is clean around the seal as a leak will allow the ink to drain back. The Fluid will leak into the pump if poured into the capping station. I don't think you should run the VJ1204 empty as unlike the VJ1604 it doesn't have a subtank and when empty only...

I might go in and paint the workshop floor! I hate being off over the Christmas period as my body just shuts down and I end up with man flu. SC

I've been over to Cyprus a few times and I reckon if I set a sign shop I would clean up over there..... LOL The whole island is scattered with signs like this. You just wouldn't believe it! SC

We get a lot of people coming in with word documents, this boils my blood!!!!! We also have people bringing in what they call editable pdf files but when you open it there is a raster image which is useless! PPT files I just laugh at :) How does everyone explain to clients the difference...

We have always closed for the complete Christmas, New Year period in the UK. Basically their will be no one with any money to spend on silly signs!!! Always you can either get a lull or a stampede before Christmas, but this year I predict a stampede and I will eat my hat if it doesn't happen. Do...

We have the same plotter and are using it with our Mutoh Valujet 1604 and Wasatch RIP. We have found that you need about 125mm of unprinted area in front of and to the rear of the print to allow it to read the registration marks. I do not know how onyx prints a reference mark. Does it print a...

I would reinstall the cartridges and charge the ink. Then see what happens! SC

how long has it been out of service? SC

Well I have had a look.... It says check the T Fence, check the encoder. And check the main board connections! Also could be the motor. Maybe the worst it could be is the main board. Hope this helps. SC

Every 6 months I end up with a mountain of offcuts which is so huge it would be ineffecient going through it to find the perfect piece! We used to give hese bits away to schools but they now want us to deliver it!!! As they are not insured for colection!!!!! SC
