    I am contour cutting some 6 Mil bumper sticker vinyl and the sharp corners are not cutting well. I would like to know if I should be using the 60 degree blade instead of the 36 degree blade, or is there something else I should be looking at? I am using the Tangential blade holder.

  12. Question How is Ink Delivered to a Printhead?

    I was just curious about how the ink is delivered to the printhead on my Mutoh 1204? Is there a pump for each color? If pressurized what is the psi. on those lines? Does the head suck the ink from the lines, or does it merely act as a valve that opens and closes? Please enlighten me. Thanks

  14. Question What is the Purpose of Dampers in a Print Head Carriage?

    It's just a basic question about what they are supposed to do. I am curious to know the function or purpose for the dampers that sit above the print head, and why they would need to be changed a regular intervals?

  15. Question Does Anyone Make a Printer That Can Sit Idle Without harm?

    I've been a slave to my Mutoh printer for 8 long years, having to run a cleaning once a week to prevent the print head from clogging up.

  18. How Do YOU Weed Text Inside a Border?

    This is a problem I have not found a solution to. If I create a sign with text inside a border, and then add weed lines, those weed lines will not extent to the text inside the border rendering them useless.

  19. Creating Borders to Cut in Flexi 10?

    I seem to be having a time of it creating borders to cut and I could use some advice.

    Hi, I have a new Summa Cutter on the way and I was wondering if my Flexi 10 supports the Summa Flex-cut feature? For a software that costs four Grand I would hope it does, and be real pissed if it doesn't. So far all I see is Countour Cut in Flexi. Thanks
