When I slide the head all the way over and pull with the syringe from the capping station I hear a slight noise at first then I get some ink flow, but when I stop the suction and pull the head off the capping station the ink is pooled up and running over out of the color side. Also when I run a...

I did a powerful cleaning and then a nozzle check with no changes. I then disconnected the lines going from the pump to the capping station and ran cleaning fluid through the pump and drain lines to make sure all of that was clear, which it was. I did another powerful cleaning and still had no...

Ok... I have done two powerful cleanings and there are no changes in the test prints.

That was a dumb mistake by me. I misread your post and put it through the washing cycle. I got the black back up and running... that washing cycle really threw a wrench in things! Now that I am back to where I was, I will do the cleaning cycle tomorrow and report back on what happened. Thank you...

Now I have bigger problems. I started the power clean not knowing I need 4 cleaning carts. It did the black side, then I had to stop it because I don't have enough cleaning carts. I ran a test print afterwards and have no black. So I tried pulling ink through and couldn't get anything. I traced...

I only have two factory cleaning carts and one wash cart that can be filled with cleaning solution... I'm guessing I need 3 factory wash carts to run a power clean on the color side?

Haha that's usually the way it goes for me too, they seem to always be too old to get the drawings. I just figured I would put that info on here in case someone is working on a fairly new truck.

Thank you for putting all of these templates on here! As far as the fire trucks go, most manufactures provide an engineering drawing in .pdf form when a new truck is ordered. If you have the job number you can go through the dealer or the manufacturer and get the drawing if the trucks is fairly...

Ok so I disconnected both lines going to the waste tank and pulled ink through with a syringe again. After that I put them in a clear glass jar so I could see if they are flowing. Both lines continued to flow a little bit of ink in the jar and then stopped. I ran another nozzle check and had no...

All of the lines at the capping station/pump and going to the waste bottle are new. I disconnected the two lines going to the bottle and tried to pull ink through (I did this when I first put it back together). Just like the first time, one line pulled easily and the other took some more suction...

I finally got around to finishing the refurb on my printer today. New print heads, dampers, O-rings, capping station, pump and inks. I thoroughly flushed all lines before I started putting it back together. I have ran 3 manual cleanings and several test prints without much change in the results...

I tried all different size margins, between 2-3" it will show odd little bits and pieces of the extrude depending on the zoom level, but it still does not work like it should.

I am running Alien Skin in Flexi using the method that was suggested on here of installing it in Photoshop and then running it as a Photoshop plugin through Flexi. Everything works great except for effects that are outside of the selection. For example... if I try to use the extrude effect it...

Does anyone know if the Mutoh SC-850D has the same extended cut options? I have the same problem with it not cutting the full width of the material.

I'm getting Baskerville Semi Bold for the top and Baskerville Italic for the bottom. 100% match according to my program.

I don't currently do any solvent printing, just thermal so my costs will be different from yours. Just up charge the reflective by whatever percent you normally use for material and then figure in your shop rate. Just make sure to use a good quality reflective.

I use Oralite for most of my fire helmet decals, but I thermally print it and then laminate it. You should be fine printing with solvent ink, but laminate it for sure. Just to CYA, make sure to tell your customer that you cannot guarantee any vinyl that is used on a fire helmet in live fire...

I didn't realize the Gerber material went through an extra cleaning process, I like the sound of that. I get dust spots in my prints fairly often with the Oracal. As far as the clear enamel receptive vs. the Imagecast, will I have any issues laying down gold size on the Imagecast? The only...

I am currently using Oracal vinyl for almost everything that goes through my Edge. I use a lot of Oracal 751 with 290GF lam when doing my hand-laid gold work. I recently tried to switch to the 951 clear, but it doesn't print well on the Edge. The spot colors have ragged edges and don't seem to...

I made the changes suggested in the last few posts, here are the final 4! Thank you all for the help! I definitely learned a lot from this, I am looking forward to using everything I learned here in future designs. I will put up some pictures when the job is completed.
