  1. VJ-1604 won't hold PF adjustment

    Rip is a good suggestion. I would check the pinch rollers. I have seen them shift and bind on the Toucan LT. This causes a feed issue that is not constant.
  2. painted septic truck..what digital vinyl would you use?

    I will chime in with another view from the cast material. I would suggest the Arlon DPF9000 or a vinyl like that. It has a solvent and heat resistant. Garbage trucks are often cleaned with a solvent wash. I would think the septic truck might be also. As for the heat resistance, look what they...
  3. cleaning video...

    I forgot 1 thing I have told my customers and they find very useful. Get a small flashlight. It comes in very handy when inspecting the head and maint. station for debris. I have seen a scrim hair hanging that I could not catch with the naked eye. Move the light slowly and look for hair.
  4. cleaning video...

    Go to www.Mutoh.com. click on the link to the VJ1304 on the left side. You will then see VJ1304 maintenance videos on the left side.
  5. Mutoh Value Jet 1604 error code 074

    Is the error always near the capping station? I would check the plunger that holds the head on the capping station. I will get bent slightly left and hold up the head every now and then.
  6. Error Code (EO74 cr2 current) on VJ1604

    Check the plunger directly below the head height lever. It gets bent to the left. This is very common. the metal it is attached to gets bent. A little field adapting(bend it back to 90degrees) usually fixes it.
  7. Seiko ColorPainter 64 Printer Driver - Need It

    Chuck, Do I finally get to repay you for all of the help and trade shows you did for us. It has been years since I installed one but I think I still have the SCSI info an utility at the office. I will check in the morning. I do remember that it was critical to have the correct SCSI card...
  8. valuejet banding, ever seen this?

    The best way, is to use the syringe with a y splitter. Put them in the damper part that mounts to the head. Draw ink through the damper. If the damper is good the ink will not flow backwards. The damper will stay primed. When you have all the dampers filled, you need to figure out why the maint...
  9. valuejet ink problem?

    i would bet it is the maint. station. Do a nozzle check and post it. You will need a light with a blue cover, to see the yellow better. When you say, no ink is draining during the cleaning cycle, it could be alot of things. Pump not working, cap not sealing, lines clogged from cap, or bottom of...
  10. Watch out New York sign makers!!!

    i like his client list.... Coleman...... Does that mean his only client just passed away (Gary) I always thought that dad was a little hard on him. Now the truth comes out. 8 hours
  11. Dura Trans

    Duratrans is equivelant to 4000 DPI. You will not get any inkjet to match that. I have done several very nice backlits with my VJ but you cant touch it.
  12. My Value Jets keep Buckiling and Head Striking

    I would expect you are using the take up, with the lengths you are talking about. Make sure the take up is level. This will cause the media to jog to one side. On the 1614 you have a little metal piece on both rear feed media brackets. They have 2 screws on them. Losen the screws and engage...
  13. Worst vehicle lettering ever!

    He only offered me 3lbs of oxtail for the job. What should I have done, Wrap it with 3M material.
  14. Ink Limits

    Eye, I have always used a reflective densitometer from the press room. At first I would match the CMYK to the pantone book as mentioned. I then realized that the profile could not make the gamut bigger than the in limits would allow. I now get the most density out of the color before it peaks...
  15. Wierd streaking problem....PLEASE HELP!! :)

    I second Randy. You can fine tune and get a little more heat but that is a safe starting point.
  16. Wierd streaking problem....PLEASE HELP!! :)

    They sure look like very low head strikes to me.
  17. Trouble with laminator HELP

    Let me first suggest that if you can leave it on a continous roll, do so. Put it on the bottom unwind roller and attach the lam the same way you have been. Make sure to leave a good 2 feet extra the first time for web up. I use 3mm PVC to web up, the lam comes off easier. When the board is...
  18. 33 metre banner rolls....NOT!!!!

    The Starflex brand has a count on the back that is marked every meter. This comes in handy when you try to figure out how tight it will be for that last banner. **** OK, I know someone will ask. I have never measured to see if the meter marks on the back are correct. ****
  19. Thought I did a good job on this one

    SHe liked the contrast, but thought the kerning was off. You know if you put Dora on there, anything would fly.
  20. Samples For Evaluating Printers

    I like the onyx test chart. It has a variety, from pantone colors, grey scale,flesh tone, and photos.
