Seems like every time I throw more than 1 print job in my queue, I have to reset that InterCon SEH box that connects the Mutoh to my computer. Sometimes I also have to reset Flexi PhotoPrint 10 to get it to let me send the file to the printer again. Any ideas on how I can be rid of this...

We recently did some large car graphics for a company using high performance cast vinyl. They are wondering if it would be safe to wax over those vinyl graphics. Do you know?

I have Flexi PhotoPrint 10 and I'm wondering how accurate the ink estimation tool is? If it's fairly accurate, I'm really impressed with how little ink is used compared to thermal printing with foils. For instance, I'm going a print of 110 decals, 720DPI, 30" wide by 65" long. It says the ink...

I don't know if I'm doing wet installation correctly. I use a spray bottle full of water and a little dawn soap. The problem that I'm having is that when I go to take the masking off, the graphics seem to want to come with it much of the time. Even if I spray down the outside of the masking with...

I'm installing these graphics on a car tomorrow. Would you recommend that I cut the vinyl above and below the small bumper strip that goes through the middle of the car? Or, should I just wrap it tight?

I just got a newly refurbished Mutoh Falcon Outdoor 48. I've been getting it dialed in, but I keep getting fuzzies around the print heads causing problems. Tonight I decided to do a thorough cleaning around the print heads using denatured alcohol and a foam brush. I even used an x-acto knife to...

Could the media that I use for my Mutoh play a big part in why the ink looks so heavy and why the graphics I print appear so dark? While I've been testing things out, I've been using regular Intermediate Calendered vinyl, SC-50 from 3M. I'm going to order something else today. But I didn't know...

Hello! I just picked up this Mutoh Falcon Outdoor 48. It's been completely rebuilt, new pumps and heads. As you can see, the color in this decal is almost completely black when it should have a light green gradient in the lettering. And there are tons of little black lines around the perimeter...

Just picked up a Refurbished Mutoh Outdoor printer. It came with Flexi Print SE and the dongle for Mutoh. I assume this Is just for print. What should I use for cutting?

I have a 64" printer on order, and I already have a 54" Summa cutter with Opus. Will I be using 54" material for doing pickup wraps? The reason I'm asking is my sales rep is trying to sell me a 64" RS Laminator. They are so expensive! And at the moment, I can't every think of an instance in...

Hello! Are the original Roland Soljet SC-500 Printer/Cutters any good? Will they take the Eco-Sol without major modification? Thanks! Andy

I might be looking at a used Mutoh Falcon II Outdoor printer. Is this a good printer for doing good quality decals, banners and such? I guess all the internal hardware was recently replaced on the machine I'm looking at. What is a good price for something like this?

I'm looking at picking up a 30" Roland Versacut printer/plotter. However, there is no way I could afford a big laminator right now. Is it practical to cold laminate decals and signs by hand with something like the big squeegee until I can afford a laminator? I saw this video and it sparked the...

I'm looking at buying a used ROLAND SP 300V. Is this a good printer for it's size? Will it produce really good resolution prints on banners, tailgate wraps, labels, etc? Will it use EcoSolvent inks? Thanks!

What is the difference between a hot and cold laminator? Or a cold laminator with heat assist? If I purchased a larger format printer and did a lot of automotive type applications, which would I need? I'm looking at buying a Roland SP300V with a 38" Daige cold laminator from a guy... is that a...

Ignore the printed window wrap ;) I'll be installing these large die-cut graphics this weekend. On the large logo, should I just lay the black over the red heart? Or should I try to piece the black inside the heart perfectly? And if so, how do I do that? Also, if I'm doing this on both sides...

I have the opportunity to buy a Mimaki JV33 printer for $4000. It's about 6 years old. The current owners are upgrading to a newer, faster latex printer. They say the print heads are good, but that in high production mode, it doesn't print very well. On slow print it prints perfectly. I have...

I busted out a roll of white Arlon Intermediate Calendered vinyl today. It's been on the rack for probably over a year. Anyways, I was trying to cut tons of these little decals. However, no matter what I tried, I could NOT get it to weed smoothly. My cut depth was good(messed with it several...

I have the opportunity to have my sign business be in a booth at this year's county fair. 5 gruiling days of 10AM to 10PM. Have any of you had fair experience? Would it be worth me taking my new Summa 54" plotter to make custom car decals and wall vinyls for people? Are their some pre-done...

I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos, tried both the horizontal and vertical hinge methods, and I still get bubbles with dry installs. What am I doing wrong? Are bubbles just normal to a degree?
