If you go back into diagnostics, do you get any test prints there? That'd be an indication if the heads were having an issue or something. As far as the head 'printing' on the heater bar, are you sure that your Flush Point setting isn't just way off? It will dump ink into the spit cup on each...

Why are you taking the hoses out? What's the problem you're fixing by doing that? More information will help us help you! Some backstory would be great!

I had an issue with one of my colors draining back, and that was with a new damper. I hope the new o-rings you get will keep that from happening, but you should be good to go on there. let us know how it goes!

While I don't have much documentation yet on the alignment procedure, here's some info about how I did it: http://falconoutdoor.blogspot.com/2012/02/printing.html http://www.chorca.com/wiki/index.php/Print_Head_Calibration It can be frustrating, you need to have patience for it and a lot of...

If you are getting an air sound, it seems the capping station is not seating properly on the bottom of the head. You should check to see the head is pushed all the way over to the home position and then draw against the waste lines from the pumps. If you can't get a good seal, it's probably time...

Use diagnostics mode to check if the cartridge sensors aren't working. There are switches at the back of each cartridge slot to tell if there is a cart in there; I had some issues with mine at first. i had to wiggle each cart in far as i could until it would stay. I may need to make some...

Awesome! I'm glad I could help! That's my whole reason for doing this, I've gotten at least 5 or so emails from people who are doing the same thing, so I just want to do my best to make it easier. They're not bad machines, once you get them running, and knowing them inside and out really helps...

Sounds like it. In the Diag mode, under EXAM, there is a sensor test where you can test the various sensors in the printer, I believe it is the menu it defaults to when you go into diagnostic mode. Try lifting the lever, and put it in the front paper sensor test mode, then slide some paper...

I had issues with this after rebuilding my Falcon. The issue I had seemed to be with the damper or O-Ring. I replaced the damper, and flipped the o-ring upside-down. I also made sure that the brass nut was tight against it, and the ink stayed in the damper after this. Before the damper...

i would just start with the easiest thing first, then work your way up. No sense tearing apart your head if a simple cleaning of the encoder strip will solve the issue. If that doesn't fix it, then unplug the machine and check your head cables, make sure they're seated and such. Still doesn't...

Oracal has a whole list of profiles for their inkjet media. Select the printer and your RIP, and you can get a profile for any of their media http://www.oracal.com/knowledge/icc-profiles.asp

Mine happened in the same place in all prints. They were randomly place, but the group was in the same area on the encoder strip. I cleaned the strip around that area, and they were reduced drastically, but one or two still happened, so I cleaned a second time, and it fixed it completely.

So i was having the same issue, shown here, in my prints: I used alcohol and a lint-free cloth to wipe down the encoder strip, and i had a bunch of dirt come off of it. Successive prints were perfect, so this seems to be a good method to resolve this issue. i will add this to my wiki.

They aren't actually from the rollers, as they just occurred on a print I did. They are definitely in the pattern of the nozzles, and seems to be jetting out randomly over the pattern while printing. I'm going to try and clean the encoder strip and see what that does, but just replaced the...

It's in the blog posts there, should be in the in one of the posts about cleaning.

You went into the diagnostic menu (hold three buttons on startup) and did the origin adjust?

Well, $750 for the printer, $1100 for rebuild kit, bulk tank, and syringe, $70 for solvent/acetone to make cleaner, $400 for ink and $120 for vinyl. $1920 for the whole Printer+Parts $550 for consumables $2470 total. They guy i bought it from also thew in a copy of Flexi 7.6v2, though, so...

Alright, been playing with the printer more, working on it and learning Flexi some, to see what I can come up with. Tonight, I figured out how to get my Roland PC-60 to contour cut from things the Falcon outputs. This was not easy, because Flexi is like "You can't use the Roland, it doesn't do...

Being mechanically/electronically inclined myself and doing the same basic thing with a Falcon Outdoor, it can be very rewarding. If you have the time to spare, you will learn a *lot* about how the printers operate, how everything interacts and where a lot of trouble spots are.. it'll help if...

Not sure about any merchants on here, but www.cmykparts.com has them.. I've ordered from them before and the heads work fine. I've heard you can call and get pretty good service as well, perhaps they can get them quickly for you?
