  1. Quality settings

    Thanks once again Randya!
  2. 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...
  3. Profile for Paper?

    Mutoh links all seem to be working now :biggrin: Thanks Randya I'll put some to the test this week.
  4. Banner on Mutoh Valuejet 1604

    yes, I find I have to be very careful with the heat settings on some banner materials - otherwise it "puckers up" between the rollers, and starts striking the head on the way by, which is very not-good for it ; ) and leaves black smudges / stripes. I've never had any problems with it not...
  5. Profile for Paper?

    Thanks Randya, the attached links seem to be broken / dead, but I'll try navigating there right from Mutoh's site. Looks like a good plan, anyway! :thankyou:
  6. Profile for Paper?

    actually... I didn't say. But I'm pretty sure its coated, in fact, I thought it had to be, for the eco-sol inks? (I'll go dig up my invoice, just to be sure)
  7. 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...
  8. "Naturally Speaking" speach recognition software

    yes, I've used it before. Two mainstream companies make this stuff, IBM Via Voice and Dragon Naturally Speaking. Its actually been around a long time, and sure has come a long way! If it was a "Costco bargain bin" , it might not be the newest version, so might not be as accurate as some...
  9. ValueJet - 3651G Settings?

    I have a valuejet, and just got my first roll of 3651 (gloss)this week. Prints were coming out horrible, which is a first for anything I've shoved down the throat of this ValueJet. I went to oracal's website, download new profiles, imported, ALL FIXED. Perfect prints again. I use flexisign...
  10. What laminators are you using?

    Well, a bit of an old thread but exactly the topic I was looking for :thumb: sooo.... I may be a total "newb" in the sign biz, but I'll certainly agree, the hardest thing I'm having to learn so far is LAMINATING! grrrrrr.... I started out using only big squeegees (26 & 54 inch ones) - and...
  11. Incomplete cuts

    Wow! and here I thought the old "Master Cutter" was just junk, and thats just "how it cuts" LOL! Well... I have one. I does that. Read the forum link. Applied the changes. All fixed!!! Might I mention once again how AWESOME folks here are?
  12. 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...
  13. what cutting software do you use ?

    LOL, you might as well have asked "what's the best truck to buy"! .... :wink: Personally, I use Flexi 8: Print and Cut - I believe its missing some of the bells and whistles of the pro version, like job estimating, using photoshop plugins, etc., but most of the meat and potatoes seem to be...
  14. 64" Valuejet Impressions

    well, my Mutoh Valuejet - (48 inch) got delivered today (almost a week late - which is kind of a rocky start in a relationship with a company that is new to me) with the tech guys coming tomorrow morning for setup etc. Since I've never had one before, I've got nothing to compare it to (I'm...
  15. The Twins Are Here!!!!!!!!!!!!

    :thumb: hehee... actually, my daughter just had twin girls a month ago, and trust me, its no laughing matter! *ouch!* better her than me, is all I can say, lol. I also have a Mutoh ValueJet on the way (hopefully Monday) and it is very heartening and reassuring to hear you like it so much...
  16. 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 /...
  17. Flexi Dongle

    hmm.. actually, 500 bucks sounds like a pretty good deal for a second dongle. If you need to run two systems with Flexi, I would have expected you'd need to buy two copies (like any other software - if you're following the license agreements) While I agree, it does seem mighty expensive, if...

  19. New to the forum...Old in the trade

    Welcome and good to meet you from Ontario Canada Munch! I'm pretty new to the website and the business as well. Hope you like it here, I've found it "priceless" so far myself! :Canada 2:
  20. DC4 - or... thermal vs inks

    Wow, everyone's input here, and in other threads as well, have been extremely helpful! I don't think its made it any easier to decide, but I sure am making a far more informed and objective decision. Heh.. It seems just as I get one facet figured out, I discover there's two more important...
