  2. Mutoh 628 black ink fades as it prints

    i believe you said you changed the orings. BOTH ENDS? (cartidge & damper? it's much more trouble to change the carridge end. ALSO did you follow vanderj's (solvent inkjet) did you snip 1/4' off the hose when changing the orings? be very careful, this is the part where you crack the manifold...
  3. Question substrate for outside sign

    Yes. I have one particular client (we have done business with the family for 30 years, they own many businesses). He sends a low res image off a phone & wants it printed 72” wide. Gigapixelmis a life saver. gigapixel worked great for us. We are lucky, many of our clients actually have pro...
  4. Question substrate for outside sign

    we are doing a 24" x 96" outdoor sign, printed on the mutoh vj1617h for a good client he gave us an awful original, but, after running it through topaz ai (thank you victor!) it looks fine sintra is an INSIDE substrate, i believe (although i just saw some promotional sintra signs we did 3-1/2...
  5. Question Are there adhesion promoters for Mutoh MP31 ink?

    may be a silly question, but, "if you don't ask, YOU DON'T GET"
  6. Mimaki JV33 ink conversion

    i agree with alex (i have never owned a mimaki, however) who wouldn't want to have the range & color space you can achieve with one of the new epsons? whether itis achievable and whether it is worth the trouble of making all your own profiles, and never putting the photo spectrometer back in...
  7. Roland Print/Cut Resale Value

    Yes. I didn‘t think about that. i normally have topickup or arrange pickup. so cash ends up being used
  8. Roland Print/Cut Resale Value

    Including some oddball equipment (rotary engravers and that type of stuff) i probably bought 60 pieces of equipment since i “retired“ in 2018, ebay generally finds you the highest price for used equipment, followed by craigslist, offerup/letgo then facebook marketplace. obviously, victor, you...
  9. Getting the same output from two different RIP's? Same ICC profile, same printer...

    AM I MISSING SOMETHING? you had A PROFILE created? are you saying you print EVERYTHING using one profile?
  10. I Just Have To Vent

    by the sound of this customer, knowing they would "go around" me the next time would make me feel like i won the lottery.
  11. Fold Over Yards Signs

    so this is for a CHEAP (and not easily embarrassed) politician, not for a yard sale?
  12. Fold Over Yards Signs

    and why would this be good when coro is cheap as dirt?
  13. Fold Over Yards Signs

    i am not sure what could be much cheaper than a coroplast yard sign
  14. Mutoh XPJ1641 won't pull ink into the head

    yes, joe cleaning solution trumps isopropyl EVERYTIME i was just getting antsy how long that captop had been dry at least with the rolands and mutohs i think isopropyl beats a dried out captop every time
  15. One Way Vision (Laminated)

    great, "clear enough" is truthfully what i was aiming for!
  16. I've got a SP540i, Been using for years. Now throwing a service code 0110 VERY ODD!!

  17. CNC pricing for other sign shops?

    in my (not so) vast collection of gerber fonts for the SMC 4 plotter is an absurdly ornate font (i will have to look to name it) when i wanted to have fun with one of the guys, i would ask him if he minded weeding a couple lines of letters. no one ever finished even a couple words
  18. One Way Vision (Laminated)

    we have never kept a roll of optically clear lam. whose product should i get?
  19. Getting the same output from two different RIP's? Same ICC profile, same printer...

    i can get a SURPRISINGLY GOOOD color match between our Roland SC545-EX (CMYKlclm, circa 2006) & our Mutoh VJ1617h (CMYK, circa 2018) BUT, i think i can spot the trouble jobs, just by looking at them. why don't we save A LOT of trouble and stipulate that EVERYTHING will not match from...
