  1. Mutoh print quality

    Thanks Damon Yes it is in the same direction as the head movement. I'll have a look. ta Simon
  2. Mutoh print quality

    Hi there. Any thoughts as to what is causing this. See attached. Mostly magenta but there is some on yellow and cyan. Old VJ -1324. Head height low. printed on PVC towards the end of a two meter print. Probably something really obvious, I don't have a huge amount of experience with signage...
  3. Blocked Head

    Hi Humberto. Yes Genuine Mutoh head and ink. I have just noticed that the ink is way past it's expiry date. (talking years not months) . So going to try some fresh ink. It cant hurt and could potential be an easy fix. thanks Simon
  4. Blocked Head

    Thanks I'lll do this- Change dampers, replace cap top, flush pump lines and replace the cap top. Here hoping. ta Simon
  5. Blocked Head

    Thanks Guys. Might be time for a new printer (shame as it was not long ago I put a new head in and has not done a lot of work) Just wondering why it might have packed in so soon?. Machine is never turned off (regular cleaning cycles) I have recently being putting thick paper through (rather than...
  6. Blocked Head

    Hi Umateria Thanks for the advice. I can't seem to find how to get into the "printhead signals" option but here is a nozzle check. As you can see the cyan print is not good. ta Simon
  7. Blocked Head

    Hi Unmateria Not sure if this is what you mean by a "full nozzle check" see attached. If it is? I can post a higher resolution image if it helps. thanks Simon
  8. Blocked Head

    Thanks Clemento. Head was only replaced about 6months ago. So hopefully still ok. ta Simon
  9. Blocked Head

    Hi there. Constantly getting a bad test print (on the cyan) but it's not just missing it's also coming out the wrong colour (very dirty cyan). Done endless cleans, Little charge etc.. The things that gets me is it's not consistent. It will come 95% right! last like that for a few prints and...
  10. Mutoh VJ 1324 upgrade

    Hi there. My old Mutoh is getting a bit long in the tooth. Thinking about an upgrade. My issue is I don't use it a lot. (but of course when I do I need it to perform well). I realise that solvent printers need to be used. (this could be one of the reason I have quite a few issues with my...
  11. Design fees and payment upfront

    If its a reasonable size job $1000+ I do a quick knock up. (max of 30/45mins). Flick them a pdf (emphasis the fact it's just a concept, NOT finished art). make sure it's fully locked. Worst case you loose 30/45mins of staff wages time. If your graphic person is any good they can generally wow...
  12. Mutoh Hard Parts?

    Hi there. I have an old Mutoh 1324 here. (parts machine) I could give you want you want for a good price. The only thing is it might take awhile to get to you (I'm in New Zealand) I don't have a parts book here but if you wanted to send me some photos I'm happy to flick you some firm prices. Ta...
  13. Serial connection. PC to Mutoh Valuecut

    Hi there. Re: Windows 10 to Mutoh Valuecut. Serial connection on Mutoh to USB on PC. I have a dodgy USB connection on my Valuecut. (I think someone tripped over the cable) Easy fix I thought :-) switch to serial to USB. not so:-( So close but so far. See photos one to three. Could it be a...
  14. Creasing when laminating

    Thanks for this input. I got the local laminating expert to pop in. It seems it is "mooning" Sticking to the top roller before hitting the nip. I have fixed by putting a little weigh (with my hands) on the print just before it gets in the nip. The machine should have a long flat bar that helps...
  15. Creasing when laminating

    Yes it is straight and flat. I have put sheets through that are not straight and flat and the creasers run in the opposite direction to these ones. thanks.
  16. Creasing when laminating

    Just print and overlam? Didn't know there was any other way do do it.
  17. Creasing when laminating

    Yes I agree, my gut feeling is to close the nip a little but of course this will close it on the ends as well. Just large sheets. I have never done roll to roll. thanks for your help.
  18. Creasing when laminating

    Hi there. Cold matt laminating gloss self adhesive vinyl. Yes the lam and vinyl are compatible. Just started to get this :-( Wasn't a problem on laminating smaller sheets. This is by far the largest sheet size I have tried for quite some time. 2440mm x 1220mm. The creasers are all the worst in...
  19. Print quality issue

    Ok have done what has been suggested here (in red) so many times. Almost know difference https://techsupport.signwarehouse.com/cleaning-clogged-nozzles-on-value-jetprismjet-printers/ But having said that this video is not very clear, maybe I'm cleaning the wrong area?. I have used heaps of...
  20. Print quality issue

    Thanks to the advice of Scott (uniscreen) I tried a "Little charge" clean. Unfortunately hasn't worked. (but worth a try) will try something a bit more drastic https://techsupport.signwarehouse.com/cleaning-clogged-nozzles-on-value-jetprismjet-printers/ this might be worth a go. Not sour when...
