  1. Windows 7 and Flexi Mutoh Edition??

    UPDATE: I got it working. All I had to do was download the drivers directly from the manufacturer of the security device. It would be nice if Flexi OR Mutoh could tell you that. I know it sounds like common sense, but I don't know a lot about these security keys. Anyway Safenet-inc is the...
  2. Windows 7 and Flexi Mutoh Edition??

    In device manager it comes up as Safenet Sentinel Dual Hardware Key. It is black. I use Flexi Mutoh 5.0v3 - I am assuming they have a different version standard than regular flexi? I don't think it could really be THAT old. I only use it as rip software, it is not flexi production house or...
  3. Windows 7 and Flexi Mutoh Edition??

    Does anyone here have Windows 7 that also uses the Mutoh edition Flexi rip software? I cannot get Flexi to work for the life of me. I think the program installed ok (it gave one error during install, but seemed to have succeeded) but when I start the program it tells me my hardware key is...
  4. Flexi and Windows 7

    I have a question here. I have windows 7 and the flexi mutoh edition rip software. I was able to get it installed on windows 7, but cannot start it because there are no windows 7 drivers for my USB KEY required to run the software. What a joke? Anyone know how to fix this??
  5. Prints coming up short

    I seem to lose 1" for every 8 feet printed, on any material. I adjust my micro page feed per material for print quality, but I seem to always lose that inch! This is a problem now. What all sort of tests can I try, or what should I check to adjust this problem? I have a 1614 and I use the...
  6. GRRRRR I hate banner vinyl...

    Well I took your advice and went with Grimco, but I'm not happy. It wasn't made in the USA like someone said, it was made in Korea. Looking at the banner straight on it looks fine, but at any angle I can see like streaks or something, its hard to explain. The ink sits on them fine, but from...
  7. GRRRRR I hate banner vinyl...

    One of my suppliers (Sign Supply USA) Doesn't carry anything but the lower end ultraflex. It is pretty good overall with the exception that if you look closely at the vinyl you can see very small holes in the vinyl (not all the way through, but atleast through the top layer) and my ink doesnt...
  8. GRRRRR I hate banner vinyl...

    Does anyone mind telling me what they pay for the KEY vinyl along with its size? Or if you happen to know the list price, I will accept that to get an idea on where I can negotiate to. I checked their website and catalog, but no prices were listed.
  9. GRRRRR I hate banner vinyl...

    Wow, I wasn't expecting so much feedback so quickly. Thank you very much, I will take these replies seriously and check out Grimco. I use sign supply as well here in FL, and that is the vinyl I was printed tonight with the above mentioned issues. I have never purchased from Grimco, although...
  10. GRRRRR I hate banner vinyl...

    Is anyone else running in to these problems? I have tried more brands of vinyl than I can count and they all have similar issues. Random scratches after printed, odd shaped artifacts, vertical faded areas, etc.. All of these vendors around here use ONLY china vinyl and it SUCKS. I am pulling...
  11. 1614 lever position. do you usually use light or hard?

    Whenever I use light position my prints end up 1/2" short (typically 4'x8' Prints) althought I hear you can adjust this in flexi.. Another issue I have is I get some strange alignment issues once in a while. Its almost as if the rollers lose grip and cause the material to surge forward a...
  12. 1st Printer Purchase...48" PrismJet (Mutoh)??

    I must not do the same type of projects as everyone else here, but I do a lot of 4x8 prints and banners, and by no means is the finished size on a 48" banner 46". To do a proper 48" banner you need 50" (allowing for the 1" folded hem on each side.) Also, some of my clients that order 4x8 PSA...
  13. Magnetic falling off

    One thing I think everyone forgot to mention here is that there is another possibility. For vehicle magnets many people dont round the corners, which I find helps quite a bit with preventing them from falling off. Rounding corners = better chance of staying on. If you don't do it you are...
  14. vertical banding? vj1614

    If you mean uni directional printing? It looks the same. I have tried uni, bi, wave, no wave, multi heat settings, etc. I dont get these lines on matte vinyl or banner vinyl, atleast not to any real noticable effect. I have tried three brands of glossy PSA and they all get those vertical...
  15. vertical banding? vj1614

    Anyone have any other suggestions or advice? Im am still stuck on this issue.
  16. vertical banding? vj1614

    UPDATE: I just ran another couple prints with wave turned off with the same results. HELP!!
  17. vertical banding? vj1614

    Sorry I am a little new at the PF adjust settings.. I ran the test, and measured the distance. I think it is suposed to be 250mm as it is set in the setup. I didn't have a metric ruler, but here is what I got. 250mm = 9.8425 Inches I measured 9-27/32 inches which = 9.84375, a difference...
  18. vertical banding? vj1614

    HERE are some pictures. i have tried the following things and I am still having the problems. Be advised that these pictures are the best quality I have managed on the issue, not the worst. Please note that I am refering to the VERTICAL banding, not the horizontal banding that looks bad as...
  19. Best way to put Mutoh to sleep overnight

    Well I have been turning my machine off every night. I have had some issues with the machine, but as far as I can tell none are due to head or ink related issues. Also, the machine was kept in a STORAGE UNIT before I bought it by the previous owner. It was a regular outside unit, no climate...
  20. vertical banding? vj1614

    Im still having major problems with this. I have tried multiple heat settings, no heat setting, cleaning the t-fence, etc.. I am trying to print a dark green color and it is so bad I want to buy a new printer that doesn't do this crap...
