  1. Mutoh's New (frustrating) Ink Cartridge

    Wait a minute!?! So there's 2 different cartridges now? One for Outdoors, and One for Value Jets? Do you know which one is which, since you're familiar with slightly smaller, newer ones?
  2. Mutoh's New (frustrating) Ink Cartridge

    I have a Mutoh Falcon II Outdoor, an older model. The ink cartridges that I'm getting now, compared to the old one's, are a bit shorter in length, and have information tabs (stickers) on the top fronts. Newer one's also have a solid white color to them, as the older one's were a bit...
  3. Mutoh's New (frustrating) Ink Cartridge

    I'm looking for feedback, from anyone, that has had issues with Mutoh's revamped ink cartridges. I first noticed the new cartridges back in April, beginning with the Magenta ink. From the beginning, there was a constant issue with the cartridge fitting improperly into the slot. "NO Ink...
  4. All of a Sudden, FC5100 stopped reading registration marks!

    Alright, I'm using Production House (Onyx), and have a Graphtec FC 5100 plotter. I can send the cut path to the plotter just fine. But when it goes to read the registration marks, (printed from my printer), it just fidgets left to right, front and back. Then rolls to the end and fidgets left...
  5. High Res Prints On Mutoh Falcon II

    So, if the most popular print resolution is 720 dpi, why print at 1440 and 2880? Since Onyx is already giving me the option to print at 720 dpi, I'll stick with that. My real problem is that I've told my bosses over and over, that the Falcon II will never give the kind of quality print that...
  6. High Res Prints On Mutoh Falcon II

    So I have this customer that wants photographic quality prints. My RIP software (onyx) goes as high as 720-MD, but my Mutoh will far exceed that with 2880. Problem is that I'm under the understanding that my RIP software overides my printer, concluding that 720-MD is the highest I can go. So...

    Comment by 'SwiSh' in media 'Digital print with custom wood frame'

    I'm curious if this is hand painted, or digital artwork such as clip art put together? L dig the style, and wood frame looks real nice!
  8. In need of an explanantion about Print Quality!

    OK.. So does the Dither Type come from the printer or the RIP program? I can't seem to find any info through my printer information that tells me a Dither Type. But, basically, the higher dpi resolution I print at on my printer, the better image I will get? Right? And if I change that res...
  9. In need of an explanantion about Print Quality!

    First off I'm using a Mutoh Falcon II Outdoor, and for 2 years now I've printed everything at 360x360. I have a huge job coming that will require printing photographs at approximately 48in.x96in on banner material. My question is if the Print Quality set up on my printer will factor into the...
  10. Determining ink usage?

    Gotchya!! Thanks man!
  11. Determining ink usage?

    This is interesting! I was just getting ready to post this question on the RIP software forum. I've been told that Onyx can calculate this, but I couldn't find out where. Thanks for the pic jiarby!! That was a big help! I'm using Onyx 6.5, but where do you see the exact calculation for the...
  12. 2 sided banner on Falcon II Outdoor

    I need to print some double sided banners on my Mutoh Falcon II Outdoor. I searched all the forums for tips on how to go about doing this, and found some very helpful hints. However, I didn't find anyone using a Falcon II Outdoor. So, I was curious if anyone has done this with the Falcon II...
  13. Falcon II Outdoor Ink Status

    I know a few months ago, Mutoh had sent out a bunch of bad cards on their ink cartridges. You can call your dealer and they "should" send you new cards for the cartridges, mine did. This happens to me sometimes as well, as I just jiggle the cartridge softly and it seems to work out fine. If...
  14. lines, banding, etc. on FII Outdoor

    Can I ask how to locate the capping station?? I'm not really sure what exactly it is. Thanks!
  15. lines, banding, etc. on FII Outdoor

    So I get banding on some materials, it seems like a constant battle. However, I've started to notice that the lines in my prints are farther apart at one end of the print than the other. Sometimes the banding is more noticeable in a certain color, but when I fix it w/ distance adjust, then...
  16. Any suggetsions for a thick paper for Falcon II?

    I used Tri-Solv, but I couldn't find it thick enough. That's why I switched to a 10 mil. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!! SwiSh
  17. Any suggetsions for a thick paper for Falcon II?

    I'm looking for a thick paper to use on my Mutoh Falcon II Outdoor. I've used InteliCoat Poster Paper (10 mil), but was unhappy at how the black inks layed down. Still looking for the same thickness, maybe thicker. I was wondering what other people were using, or if anyone might have any...
