    Mutoh Ink what to do?

    Ok, I'm screwed! Mutoh VJ-1324. Staff member up dated firmware. Now my machine won't take my genuine 440mm ink cartridges (this was done by Mutoh because apparently they were having problems with them). It seems it is a major to go backwards with the firmware. What should I do with my...

    Thanks Andrew, Yes I had been to the colourgate website and strangely this information is not easy to find. I have since posted them a question directly and are awaiting a reply.

    Colourgate

    Hi there I have an oldish version of Color gate. My old Mutoh has just gone belly up. My question is, what wide format solvent/latex printers will this work with. I'm thinking of getting a HP latex printer 4-5 years old. Will it run with it? does it depend on the exact model? how about Rolands...

    Imposing PDF saddle stitched booklet. (removing bleeds)

    Hi there Customer supplies a multi page PDF. (no spreads just single pages) Pages are supplied with bleeds. (as I have requested). Is there a quick way to remove the left/right hand bleed where the pages meet on the fold/staple line before I impose?. I realize this is probably a prepress 101...

    Print head gone belly up

    Hi Greg. Yes all good points. If it doesn't work on installation or fails just after a few months it is not cheap. (It is very expensive). I was just hoping to get some feed back from someone who has had a good experience (and could recommend a source) for these. I struggle to understand why...

    Print head gone belly up

    Thanks Greg. Yes I can get good trade prices. Was thinking more along the lines of how reliable are these "cheap" Chinese heads. Keeping in mind I have the printer here taking up room. I don't think I will be able to bring myself to bin it especially since I'm still paying the thing off.

    Print head gone belly up

    Hi there. My Mutoh print head has died. (VJ1324). Looking at various options. I'm a bit reluctant to spend a lot of money as my ROI is low. (I don't do a lot of wide format vinyl work). The two options that seem to make the most iancial sense is I just farm everything out or I purchase one of...

    Pull up banner (how to make)

    Pull up banner (how to make)

    thanks "wonderings" I have asked the supplier for a template (no luck) Is this case it is suppose to be a standard 2000mm x 850mm pullup. I'll do the remake a little narrower but I should not have to. thanks

    Pull up banner (how to make)

    Thought it had gone well! until customer came to pick up. Pulled up to proudly show the finished product only to discover this on the edge!!!. I guess I have made a fraction to wide?. It looked like the correct width. Damage is almost 1/2 way up from the bottom just on the left hand side. I...

    Pull up banner (how to make)

    thanks kdw,. Was hoping for a youtube clip. I was told you need to apply more 2side tape than it comes with? (not strong enough). Have you found this to be the case? I'm guessing different brands will be different. ta Simon

    Pull up banner (how to make)

    Hi There. I realize these are fairly simple to put together (I just don't want to cock it up, first time I have done one of these). I have all ready printed a banner on my solvent printer (Mutoh) arppox 2meters x 50cm. I have purchase the stand. I see it uses a double sided tape and locking pin...

    Cutting/finishing on a duplo, morgana etc.. when is it economic?

    Cutting/finishing on a duplo, morgana etc.. when is it economic?

    Has anyone out there ever done any number crunching to see at what point it makes economic sense to buy a duplo/morgana to finish b/cards/dl cards etc..? (rather than on a guillotine). Even with a good secondhand one at about 20k I don't think the numbers would add up for me, Not with my volume...
