  1. Applying long narrow prints

    So, I had to apply a strip of printed vinyl to rolled Lexan today, which was 25ft. long x 2ft high. I laid the print out, evenly aligned over the lexan, then started/peeled about 4 inches of it - then ran it through the laminator. I was sweating bullets that it wouldn't "run" too much! It...
  2. Head gone crazy?

    I have a ValueJet 1204 - 4 years old now, and the only "maintenance" I've ever done is clean it (I'll admit I'm somewhat intimidated by more advanced procedures!) Its quite a low-volume shop - I'd say a set of cartridges every 2 months... Recently, the magenta has become erratic. One of...
  3. Value Jet Maintenance

    Re: Mutoh Valuejet 1204 my printer is just about to turn 3 years old... so far, it has been both a fantastic and forgiving machine, since I had never so much as laid eyes on a wide format solvent printer before getting this one. After learning to use it on my own, I think its time for me to...
  4. Canadian Ink Supplier

    anyone know a Canadian supplier for OEM inks, for the 1204 ValueJet? (220 ML Eco-Sol Max) I bought the printer 3 years ago from Mondrian-Hall, and they now tell me "we don't have any ink for this... " Unbelievable... :banghead: I really prefer to use OEM though - but I'm having a hard time...
  5. Is this an actual font?

    Two fonts here actually - the "Racing" one, I'm pretty sure is an actual font, I just don't know what it is - if anyone recognizes it? Second one, the tomasi - not sure if this is an actual font, or some custom work? Anyone recognize it? Thanks in advance for any help on this! Conor
  6. Installing drivers

    does anyone happen to know how to install a new plotter in Flexi's production manager (or a new "setup" as they call it) for a plotter that is not on their list? I have the drivers... no problem there. Its a brand new Summa D120R D120 is on the list... not the "R" part when I select this...
  7. Quality settings

    Not entirely sure if this a "Mutoh" question, or a "Flexi" question... however, for any given media, there are generally choices between Graphics 1/2 and Quality 1/2/3/4 Some have "bi-dir" on the choice as well. Can anyone explain the difference between these settings? None really say...
  8. Profile for Paper?

    RE: Value Jet 1204 anyone have a good / general profile they use for printing on paper? I'm getting great results on all my different media's except paper, which is very good, except... the black goes .. well.. funny. Not a nice solid fill, like other colors, almost like a "salt...
  9. Cutting Letters

    yep, a gen-u-ine new-bie question! :Cool 2: First, I'm making some assumptions, since I've never actually done or seen this done... That you can take a piece of material (Ultra-core for eg) - plastic or aluminum composite with a dense foam core, 1/2 inch thick as an example, cut and apply...
  10. Software Tools

    well... my first struggle was where to post this question! Being first and foremost "new" - this seemed the best spot :tongue: So, trying to speed up the learning curve a touch, by drawing on this huge pool of experts :wink: Software question: I have Flexi-8 Print and Cut on the way /...
  11. Flexi Print and Cut

    Flexi Print and Cut: (ver 8 family) anyone actually using this yet? Just wondering if its a good "real-world" all in one software solution (as the name implies.. good for sign making with cut vinyl as well as providing all your printing / RIP needs .. ) Its cheaper than the "expert"...
  12. DC4 - or... thermal vs inks

    Looking, researching, and thinking day and night about my first digital printer. When I review my situation (I try to be objective, but its SO darn easy to fool yourself!) and requirements, the Summa really seems the "perfect fit". However, it is indeed my first (hope it won't be my last! lol...
  13. Yet another New Guy

    Well, I've been reading like a book-worm for some time here, and I must agree, the amount of "real-world" advice and information available is absolutely staggering! Heh.. while I'm new to the sign business, I'm not new to "business" and when your only source of info is sales reps... well...
