Howdy everyone. Does anyone know how to prevent page advance before a print or page eject after a print? I am using Flexi 12 on an HP Latex 110 and I am unable to get the printer to stop wasting media between prints. I want to be able to print jobs without having 4-8 inches of dead media before...

Hi randya, I understand that is uses carts, but are those carts chipped or has that feature been removed/disabled? The blizzard and spitfire look like my FII OD. I understand that the electronics change with time but did that include the smartcard readers? If not, what other reasons are there...

Just got cyan carts with the "new" foil covered rubber I just got cyan carts with the "new" foil covered rubber seals. They were a little difficult to put into the machine. I don't remember having to push them in as hard as I did these. They show a manufacture date of 10/2010. Anyone know when...

Hi, Happy New Year to you all. I was browsing the Mutoh Europe site and came across a bulk ink system by Mutoh:cool1:: http://www.mutoh.be/options-accessories/bulk-ink-system/page.aspx/5486 Bulk Ink System - Mutoh Mutoh’s bulk ink system (BIS) has been specifically...

Hi y'all, Does anyone know if it is possible to have a Falcon II Outdoor spit on the margins of loaded media vs. spitting into the spitton sponge/box assembly? I've searched the menus but have not been able to find such an option. Thanks, -JR

$110 ? Hi fieldcenter, Can you clarify what you are selling for $110. If it really is an IPF9000 printer for $110 I'll take your entire stock. =) Thanks.

SEPIAX Flatbed Wow, I just happened upon this video on YouTube for a Korean flatbed printer that uses SEPIAX inks. :cool1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TePDHYisnX8 It looks like a converted DTG printer. Hopefully this is the beginning of a new trend and they price these so that mere...

hi randy and onlyjames, would you please share details on how to perform this alignment. I have a take-up system that walks more on one side also. It happens after about 8 feet or so, but is very annoying as I can't just leave the printer for too long without worry. thanks. -jr

Versilic tubing very interesting. so, could you use this Versilic tubing for the waste lines and avoid clogs altogether? do you know of a supplier of such tubing that sells in small lengths? the waste lines on my FIIOD do not run straight down, but run at an angle into the waste bottle behind...

I've had this start to happen as well. It may be "chromatic banding". Here's a link to something that RandyA posted: http://www.mutoh.com/kb/entry/119/ My prints have 'lawnmower' bands in them, it looks like two different colors laid in each pass in bi-directional printing It is typically a...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I wonder if the thickness of the material might have anything to do with the scratch resistance. Based on this I may just use 13oz for everything. I have not had this problem with 13oz material. Vinyl also happens to be relatively scratch resistant, so it's very...

Hi, I have a client that I have run 13 oz banners for on a fairly regular basis. I normally use UltraFlex 13oz gloss baner material. I recently ran a 10"x3" job for him on 10 oz. Ultraflex gloss (at his request) and was dismayed at the fact that the banner scratched very easily. The print was...

Hi, I have a few nearly full UV ink carts with smart chips that appear to have gone bad. Anybody know how to fix or replace them? The ink is expensive and I hate the fact that I can't use it due to a faulty chip. I can't return it as too much time has gone by. Thanks. -JR

Low head height Hi all, Well, I tried this again using the "low head height" option and it made a world of difference. Everything was clear and sharp and there was no sign of the "ghosting" effect that I saw before when I ran the material at medium head height. I did get a black smudge on part...

Hi. Thanks for the replies. My heater was set at something like 40/35/38/45. It is whatever is default for that 13oz Saturn profile. Jack, what do you mean by 74? What is plasticizer migration? I'm not familiar with that term. Ultraflex is good, but my client wanted a super smooth material. I...
