  2. How long can you go?

    I remember our first printer, a Mutoh Rockhopper I 46". We had a large order (a car fleet) that took us weeks of continuous print. Every day, before going home, I loaded the media, printed as much as to fix it on the take-up and left it alone to print till morning. All I had to do is to make...

  4. Granite sandblasting technique

    For sandblast mask you can also try Oramask 831 and 832 film from Orafol, that are specially designed for sandblasting. Love these sandblasted & illuminated artwork
  5. Need Help Printing on glossy polyester 0.075mm thick

    You might have to turn up the heaters a little, to cure the ink faster. Also, you can try to print uni-directional and lower the speed, so the ink has the time to dry and not spread. Mutoh has a double strike option, where you can insert a delay value between passes. That could also help, if you...
  6. Discussion Losing Weight.

    For a second you've reminded me of a movie called Soylent Green starring Charlton Heston :D Those guys were on a diet, no question about it :D
  7. Discussion Losing Weight.

    Look for Dr. Robert H. Lustig. He has a video called Sugar:The Bitter Truth. He has some good points in there, if you watch the video till the end. A more recent video is "Sweet Revenge Turning the Tables on Processed Food" that is a more polished version of the above.
  8. First MOD you should do for any new to you printer

    Of course not, but you can see if nozzles are missing, if a color is missing entirely, when you do a nozzle check or some alignments. In the maintenance area I always have to use a flashlight, so it could be very handy to mount a LED strip there too.
  9. Strange Noises from Mutoh 1624

    Hello Morty, the noises could come from the carriage bearings or the CR Y drive pulleys (some bearings that run out after a while). Also, make sure the printhead doesn't hit anything. You could post the video on YouTube and attach the link here.
  10. Need Help A4 L805 UV PRINTER

    At minute 1.50 it looks like the motor is working but the axis does not rotate. Can't see how the transmission is made. See if you don't have a loosen screw around there. Also make sure the axis is rotating freely and you don't have a mechanism blockage shomewhere.

  12. Need Help Mutoh VJ 1204 Head Reolacement

    I haven't had the opportunity to work with them. They have a very good technical support, that's for sure.
  13. Roland RT-640 missing nozzles constantly

    Looks like you have a problem with the maintenance station. You might have to change it. At this moment you should clean the wiper blades and cappings with cleaning solution. I can see dried ink contour marks from the cappings, and that is not normal. The maintenance station (especially the...
  14. Need Help Mutoh VJ 1204 Head Reolacement

    As always, before you start servicing the printer, unplug the printer from the mains and push the power ON button to eliminate any remaining electricity,
  15. Need Help Mutoh VJ 1204 Head Reolacement

    I've changed printheads in Mutoh Valuejet printers and all I had to do was to enter the head rank numbers. The alignments remained perfect. Just make sure you take a picture of the sticker that has the head rank number before you install the printhead. You can also remove the sticker from the...
  16. Mutoh 1624x will not turn on

    Could be some ink spilled on the printhead when you changed the dampers. If the ink gets on the printhead cable connector, it can cause short circuit. Just throwing ideas :)
  17. Mutoh 1624x will not turn on

    After replacing the maintenance station did you connect all the cables? One for the motor and one for the encoder?
  18. Banners on pylon sign

    In the past we always had a problem with large banners, being ripped by the wind, especially in the grommet area. At that time our alpinists suggested that we make the banners a little bit larger so they can pull the grommets behind the metallic frame, reinforcing the banners. It worked very...
  19. Anyone ele having issues with 3M ink Over-saturation?

    I remember we had a batch of Taiwan vinyl that had the adhesive so strong that if you tried to remove it without the heat gun it would peel off the coating of the car. It was thick as floor graphics vinyl, you could double stretch it and still have room for more. We did a car fleet with it...
  20. Anyone ele having issues with 3M ink Over-saturation?

    Usually recessed areas are needed to reinforce somehow large areas of metal sheets otherwise can be bent easily and are prone to vibrations when you drive the car. Even so, vibrations still occur and the vinyl will eventually pop out (usually right at the edge of the recessed area) due to...
