I have a question for you guys. I have a customer asking me to make them a banner that will be 6' x 8'. I have a 48" mutoh falcon so I obviously can't print this all on one sheet. What are your thoughts on seaming a banner together with banner tape on the back side? This is going to be hanging...

I have this same cutter. Looks something similar to what I have had problems with. My problem turned out to be static. When you plot listen for little crackling noises. The vinyl gets so charged up that it doesn't advance correctly under the rollers and you get something like this. You'll...

okay now you guys have me nervous as all I have is the mutoh with eco solv inks. This job is for our chamber of commerce. It is the first project we are doing for them so it has to be perfect. They want to order 50 clings. So when the ink sticks to the window, is it because the cling has been...

I really hope Roland comes out with a smaller device. Would be perfect to print out t-shirt transfers. Hopefully the price is right.....

Have a customer asking me to do some clear window clings with printed graphics. Haven't done these before. Looking for suggestions on a good material to buy. Will be printing with a mutoh falcon.

Sometimes a good way to clean up a PDF files is: 1. Open PDF in Acrobat. Do a save as and choose postscript 2. Open up Acrobat Distiller and re-distill it. Many times this will clean up a file. If there is transparency issues with drop shadow and such it will flatten the transparency. If...

@eye4color can u verify for me that u are able to load icc's on the print/cut windows version? The disk I have has both Mac and windows installer. Just have to find a windows machine to try it on. I'm a Mac guy but if this works I will need to get a PC. It's absolutely foolish for a company...

I just got off the phone with Flexi tech support. He never heard of profile maker. I reassured him that it was a good program. He said that I need to use Flexi's tool for making profiles. Unfortunately the Mac version doesn't come with it. Now I need to buy a PC and upgrade the to full...

I think i need the full version. I don't have anything to set up media in Flexi. I think I'm going to give SAI a call.

We had a rep from Fuji at our commerical printing plant this week helping with some G7 stuff. He was telling me that 3 years ago when we were first certified we would send our press runs to Idealliance and they would certify you. There was some questions about how accurately they were checking...

G7 is the way to go. That's actually what I'm working on setting up today. I also work for a large commerical printer and we have all of our presses G7 certified. Makes it very easy to keep items printing the same. Making the G7 process work isn't really very hard. You will need some...

Running Flexi Print/Cut 8.6 on the Mac. Figured it was time to properly profile my printer and make some ICCs for the media that I run. For now I have been using some generic ICC's I got off the internet. Made a linearization ICC profile using profile maker. Put it into the ICC folder for...

Running Flexi 8.6 on an Intel Mac. Absolutely HATE IT. Damn thing crashes all of the time. Whenever running banners or larger projects everything will be going okay and then all of a sudden bombs out with a kernal panic. Start over and what ever was printed was junk. Wish I would've bought...

If you end up selling things individually I would like to know the cost of the laminator. Thanks, Stephen

You can also check for local stained glass shops. Many of them etch glass. My wife has a stained glass shop and I etch glass for here via sandblasting....

Thanks to everyone for your help! I think I had a combination of problems. 1. The print head needed a good cleaning. 2. My heater was way to low. Set to 36 degrees. I upped it to 48 and the banding is virtually gone. I can only see it cause I know that it was there. May need just a bit...

What is a good general heater setting on the falcon for 1. Gloss Printable Vinyl 2. Matte Printable Vinyl 3. Banner Material

Another thought on this as well....when I purchased this printer we took it off the printer stand....put it in the van....and transported about 30 miles into my studio office in our basement. We were very careful....but we didn't know how to park the print heads for transport. I suppose it...

I can see it in the cyan and the magenta....it's worse in the magenta. I will try printing the patches without the icc a little later this afternoon.

When the head is parked it will be all the way to the right "parked" over the capping station. To soak the head I pulled it out to the left . There is a section where the head goes over that has a foam pad that collects ink. I took one of these make up pads, soaked it, and put it over that hole...
