  1. Mutoh 1204vj need help

    Did it just start doing this out of the blue? It looks like the head slant is misaligned. Did you have a bad head strike recently?
  2. Need Help Mutoh 1638 test print problem

    A agree. Looks like physical damage to the nozzles. Cap top and dampers won't hurt especially if they are due for a replacement already.
  3. What kind of computer do you guys run for a RIP?

    For sure. If you're RIPing multiple files at once it can help. But if you're a one man shop printing a file at a time on one printer it's not as helpful.
  4. Suggestions When exporting to .pdf, What preset do you use to send to your RIP?

    I know and I really am just playing with you. It was ingrained in me early on that JPEGs are not print ready files even though pretty much every print in our showroom is a JPEG from the internet.
  5. 8k sticker order. I have questions

    Interesting. Have you tried making multiple copies in the layout screen and sending it that way? If that doesn't work for you I would say maybe something else is going on.
  6. 8k sticker order. I have questions

    If she is laminating and reloading, she can set the first crop mark and then just send the cut only job using the same, "Execution" tab and just input how many sets there are to cut. It will find the marks for the next jobs automatically that way.
  7. 8k sticker order. I have questions

    This is what you want to do. Get the job set up how you want within the 4-5ft, I would go up to 8 feet at most, and then go to the, "Execution" tab and you can tell it how many times you want it to do that job. If you don't want to deal with the take-up, go into the, "Quality" tab where you...
  8. Question about tax exemptions for resale goods

    It's going to be different everywhere but, I'm a supplier and we don't have to charge tax, as long as the customer has a license, on any product that ends up in their final product for resale. So inks, vinyl, laminate etc. are not taxed but printer parts are for example.
  9. What kind of computer do you guys run for a RIP?

    When it comes to CPUs and RIPing, clock speed is the most important factor. RIPing is not a process that can be parallelized so more cores doesn't do much unless your RIP is also your design computer in which case more cores will allow you to multi task better.
  10. Discussion Is there any young future Sign employees???

    My teenage nephew had an event at his school where different businesses came in to have the kids learn about the business etc. and they got to be "employees" for a day. My nephew chose to work the sign shop because of his uncle. Most high schools have graphic design programs now but they focus...
  11. Mimaki Vinyl Cutter - CG130 FXII Question.

    No problem! Will do!
  12. Mimaki Vinyl Cutter - CG130 FXII Question.

    In my experience it does well with simple shapes. Anything with fine details doesn't work well just by the nature of how it works. It can take some trial and error to dial in properly but once you get it, it works well. It also has two tools and tool tracks so you can set one up for regular kiss...
  13. Mimaki Vinyl Cutter - CG130 FXII Question.

    They have upgraded to the CGFXII Plus now. It's the same cutter but has Ethernet and ID cut now. Other than that, they're the same machine.
  14. Dealing with getting price jacked on material costs

    As a supplier I get an email from FDC (our vinyl supplier) every other day apologizing for the cost increases and availability issues. They've been pretty good at preparing us for the issues. All of our printer manufacturers just raised parts pricing up by about 6% as well. Sign of the times...
  15. Suggestions When exporting to .pdf, What preset do you use to send to your RIP?

    Oh come on! At least send an uncompressed TIFF! Sorry I like to rag on JPEG users.
  16. Mimaki CJV150-160 Repair or new print head?

    It's pretty rare to have a single channel go out electronically. Usually either the whole head stops firing or it fires erratically. Do a damper swap to confirm. Just swap damper positions and run a cleaning cycle to see if another color will fire in the channel. If another color can fire, it's...
  17. hey ya'll, newbie here from TN

    You can try James McGill out of Paducah - 270-243-0599 We carry the heads in stock here in Denver. Your machine does take a DX4 head BTW.
  18. Mutoh DX5 Print Head Sale!

    Bump for anyone who missed it.
  19. Need Help Versacamm SP300V Vacuum Fan Continuously running in sleep mode

    It's a wild guess but maybe the fan is toggled with a transistor that went bad and now is permanently on/open so the fan is always powered on?
