  1. How to reverse flush printhead

    What the heck is a "reverse flush"? Do you mean you want to fill the lines with ink? Or are you wanting to force the contents of your ink lines backwards and out the cartridge slots? Sorry, I've just never heard of this before...
  2. Flexi 12 borders for signs (think MUTCD)

    Hopefully this will help... Select a your shape Go to Effects > Outline Design Central will display your Outline options (Outline width, offset and number of outlines) After the outline is applied, you can right click on your shape and 'Separate' or 'Remove' the outline. Also, if you want...
  3. color management way off today

    When you say chart, are you referring to a 'Swatch Table'? A palette of colors in the design screen?
  4. color management way off today

    You trying to match a chart that you printed years ago. Is that correct? If so, is it possible that you had color correction disabled during that original print?
  5. FC8000-130 Connection Problem

    Two things you can try: 1) Open Device Manager (accessible through Control Panel) and see if the cutter is detected under 'Unknown Device' or 'Other Device'. If not, does it show up under 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers'? 2) Get a USB-to-Serial adapter. Just because the USB port fails doesn't...
  6. white dots all over my banner material.

    I changed my spit pad, cleaned my wiper, around the head and around the cap top. Used cleaning solution on the wiper with a lint free cloth and a swab on the cap top. Then I went back and used a cloth to wipe any left over solution.
  7. white dots all over my banner material.

    I've had this same thing. For me, I had cleaning solution left from a cleaning on the bottom the head and it would drip or shoot down with the ink. Left little white specks all over. Cleaned everything real good and it cleared up.
  8. What printer do I need?

    Here's something to consider: http://mutoh.com/images/reseller/1624-Folder/Mutoh%20vs%20Roland.pdf Also, in my experience, the all-in-one print/cut machines aren't faster in all applications. There's no point to an all-in-one if you're laminating your jobs, except for it taking up less floor...
  9. What printer do I need?

    I'll throw out there that the Falcons are a far cry from the current Mutoh models. They've changed quite a bit and significantly improved what they were/what is required to keep the head from clogging. I can't comment on the HP machines since I've never owned one, but other than that I agree...
  10. What printer do I need?

    Mutoh 1324 and up comes with free Rip now too.
  11. What next? Mutoh print issue need advice please

    I think I circled the capacitor from Umca's photo. Just make sure it's "plugged in" well/pushed all the way down.
  12. What next? Mutoh print issue need advice please

    You didn't mention anything about the capacitors. Did you check them? As for your fuse, is it removable or "hardwired" onto the board?
  13. What next? Mutoh print issue need advice please

    Don't forget. There are water based and solvent DX5 printheads. Maybe even others. No telling how soon you'll be replacing the your head if you stick a water based head in a solvent machine.
  14. Mutoh VJ 1604 cannot proceed to print.

    Cycle the power Turn printer off Unplug printer Press power button 4 times Let machine sit for 45 minutes Plug printer directly into wall Power printer on Do you still have the error after this?
  15. easy resetter for MUTOH valuejet.

    What do you mean by "easy resetter"? I'm not familiar with this.
  16. What next? Mutoh print issue need advice please

    If your head moves across the material but doesn't drop ink then the head may not be firing. There's no pump that pushes ink through the head. During cleaning, a pump sits below the head and pulls ink through the capping station. During printing, the ink is gravity fed. Picture putting a straw...
  17. What next? Mutoh print issue need advice please

    Found it in the Maintenance Manual. You have to go to the back in the Exploded View and look at the Mainboard.
  18. What next? Mutoh print issue need advice please

    I know you said it stopped printing blue. Did it stop entirely? If you do a nozzle check, are both Cyan channels missing? Is the head level? As for fuses, I think f6 and f7 are for the print head, but that's just an educated guess. However, if I'm right, that's 2 fuses for 8 channels. Again...
  19. Looking for vinyl express q64 and mutoh 1624 profile for FlexiSign Pro 8.1

    That's old software. Newer cutters and printers won't be available and the manufacturers won't help you get new drivers in old software because they aren't stable. And be careful with that 8.1 Flexi. A buddy of mine had 8.1 and it was a cracked copy. Did some weird stuff. Hope you get it going.
  20. power outage today....so the power went out at my shop today, my printer was in sleep

    APC has a nice little tool on their site for selecting a backup to suit your needs. I will say that most people buy a "more affordable" backup which does 2 things. It supplies direct AC power to your device and it converts AC to DC to charge the battery backup. Once power goes out, it will...
