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...

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...

Hi there. Hope someone can help. New so bear with me. I'm applying a large sheet of window frosting to a sheet of clear perspex (plastic) In a customer's reception area. Customer/staff will be there so I don't want to look like a complete idiot. Any good you tube clips would be handy. All the...

Hi there. Newbee to signage (especially large signs). Offset and Digital background. Up to now I have managed to get by with borrowing the better half's station wagon. Getting to be an issue. (for all sorts of reasons, but size being the main one). For deadline reasons (and cost) its often not...

Hi there. Just in case I'm doing something obviously wrong?. Why isn't signcut giving me the option to cut to my Mutoh VC1300. Its quite an old cutter and there are a heap of other cutter options from cutters about the same age. I have tried both these ones, See attached screenshots. Signcut...

Hi there. I'm a newbie to this software. Hoping some one can save me a lot of time working out the best way to attack this. I have just got a trial version at the moment and want to make sure it will do what I want before I purchase. I print a lot of labels on my Xerox production press (not...
