  1. Mutoh Outdoor to All Black???

    No need to reply now...I have it figured out and I now am printing with an all black wide format printer...yay!
  2. Mutoh Outdoor to All Black???

    Well, after fighting with this damned old Mutoh Outdoor 62 for the past several years, I've decided that color printing is not that important to me (it was a VERY small part of my business...much more aggravation that it was worth). Anyway, I don't want to to invest any more money in it. I...
  3. I would like to...

    Sometimes, I'm so stupid, I amaze myself...hit the print button, not the rip and print...duh.
  4. I would like to...

    Be able to print from Flexi 8.1 (xp) to my Epson 1400 printer...can I do it?
  5. Font like Insignia

    Hey y'all...I have a customer who provided me with a t-shirt for his business to copy so I could screen print more for him. The font used is Insignia A and I really thought I'd seen something very similar to it on my computer. I used Find My Font software and came up with nothing. This is a...
  6. Had a head strike, now, no power

    I have a Graphtech FC5100-130 that has worked flawlessly for me since I got it. Today, I was gonna do a contour cut. When I powered up, the cutter head started to move back to the right...about halfway, it acted like it hit something and the power went off. I looked in the manual and it says...
  7. What causes this?

    I have a Graphtech FC5100-130 plotter and I've noticed that the beginning edge of vertical characters starts with a slight angular cut...then everything cuts fine. You can see it in the pic. It does it on every vertical letter. I have this set up running with Sign Blazer (don't say it's the...
  8. HELP MUTOH FALCON OUTDOOR receive PORT 1 message

    Stop and restart the print spooler and see if this helps.
  9. falcon jr no black

    I have removed the dampers from my printer, taken a syringe with a piece of rubber hose on it, and gently forced pure acentone into the print head until it cleared the nozzles. I then push some air through the head with the same empty syringe. Once you do this, you should be able to park the...
  10. Need a stand for an FC5100-130

    Hey guys, recently I bought a Graphtec FC5100-130 that was used by a big company. Came in a large road case but they didn't have a stand for it. Now, I can build a stand if I have to, but it sure would be easier if someone had one they wanted to sell. I've contacted Graphtec, and they don't...
  11. Supplier Help

    I want to start making a few channel letters and I would like to know a supplier for the edge that holds the face of the letter on (forgive me...I don't the proper terminology for these parts yet). Also, where you can buy the strip leds. Heck, any help you give me will be appreciated. Thanks...
  12. Can I do this?

    I have a neon "Open" sign that is intended for indoor use. I don't have a window to put it in since I work out of my double garage. Do you think I could build something like a shadow box, seal it well, and put lexan on the front and use it that way? The sign looks nice and I'd like to be able...
  13. Your Opinion Matters To Me...

    Thanks...I built it.
  14. Your Opinion Matters To Me...

    Last year, I wanted to get started doing some digital printing but I didn't want to jump in with both feet quite yet. I have about 2 years on my present job and I wanted to have something in place to do after I retire. I bought a Mutoh Outdoor 62 printer for a good price. I knew that it was...
  15. The "Mad Scientist" is at it again...lol

    I stretch one way and glue, let it set for a while, then do the other side. Very nice and straight when I'm done (unless I overstretch...have to be careful about doing that).
