  1. Little charge stops at 98%

    So I just tried to fix my last problem with performing a "little charge". It goes through the motions like usual... but now it's been sitting at 98% for more than 30 minutes. No sounds. No movement... I could probably turn the printer off and on, but I would like to get a small air bubble out...
  2. Nozzle check... crap... fuzzies.

    it's been a week since i printed anything, turned the 1604 on today and did a nozzle check. Entire Half the black is missing. Did economy, normal, and strong cleanings with a nozzle check after each with the same results. CR maintainance, checked the wiper... has some dried up fuzzies on it...
  3. Printing on frosted?

    cool, thanks again gabagoo... ....reminds me of that Ramones song... Gabba gabba wee!
  4. Printing on frosted?

    One more thing... These decals are going on interior office doors. They probably get cleaned every night. You think the ink would hold up to windex and crap like that? Maybe I should laminate....
  5. Printing on frosted?

    cool, I'll try it today!
  6. Printing on frosted?

    Gabagoo! Awesome! I'm glad to hear I'm not the first guinea pig. Thanks for the input. The only thing that concerns me now is the Avery frosted vinyl I got has a notation in the catalog "not thermal printable". I did buy this vinyl for this job, but they since changed the logo on me so now I...
  7. Printing on frosted?

    Well I was going to laminate it in case the frosted vinyl didn't hold the ink very well. Good idea with the overprint.
  8. Printing on frosted?

    I have a client that want's some frosted vinyl cut. They also have a crest they want cut but it's waaaay to detailed even for my plotter. I was thinking of printing black on the same frosted vinyl and then laminating it... you think it would work? I'll try it if there is no chance of harming my...
  9. Corel X3....unwanted Duplicates!

    That happened to me and a co worker, we figured out it would happen after lunch time when we just would watch youtube vids during break. Dunno if you are watching videos online, but that is what caused it for us. We restarted corel, but it still happened... had to reboot the computer to make...

    Welcome! By the looks of that Lexus, the sign world has been kind to you...
  11. First time with cleaning cartridges

    You were right. I figured out that there wasn't a good vacuum when I noticed the head height was set to high. I had to go into diagnostics and make it think there was ink in it, then lower the head height. Once I put the cleaning carts in and ran a head wash I could actually see the lines being...
  12. First time with cleaning cartridges

    Well I was low on ink anyway, and I will be not using the printer for longer than just a week it looks like. I am in the process of getting some jobs together but many of them won't be ready for install until mid Jan. The manual is rather vauge, and doesn't even have some of the terms in the...
  13. First time with cleaning cartridges

    wow, nobody uses cleaning cartridges around here?
  14. First time with cleaning cartridges

    Well now I decided to do another head wash with the cleaning carts just in case. I powered on the machine, inserted the cleaning carts., and now the display reads: [KCMY]Not Original Duh printer! Shouldn't this perform a head wash automatically when i put the cleaning carts in? So I try to do...
  15. First time with cleaning cartridges

    Thanks for the response, I just checked the lines and the ones I see are all solid colors. So I would put the cleaning ones in and run an ink fill? Where do I find "ink fill"? I should have mentioned that I have a valuejet 1604. Dunno if that information is for the printer I have or not.
  16. First time with cleaning cartridges

    I used the cleaning cartridges for the first time since I am going to Vt for a week... This is how it went, just wondering if it was normal: I put them in, and went to "head wash", it then told me to take the cartridges out. It was making some noises for 5 min or so, then asked me to put the...
  17. Word Art

    Maybe you should find where the spell check is too! haha
  18. Cannot Open Port?

    That happens to me every once in a while. What has worked for me in the past is: unplug the usb on the plotter side, wait a couple seconds... then try to send to the plotter again. Don't even bother turning off anything. It works for me, hopefully it works for you.
