I have a Mutoh VJ-1324 and I've noticed lately it prints .25" short every 48". By the time I print a a 4x8' I'm a .25" short the one way and a .5" short the long direction. I've checked the RIP and it is printing 100%. Any quick way to solve this? thanks, Bryce

Upfront: I own a Mutoh VJ 1324 Eco-Solvent I was talking to my Fellers Rep the the other day and I was saying i was thinking of getting a UV printer because of scratch resistance compared to eco-solvent. Basically his response was they're not that much better, they are expensive (starting...

Got a potential customer who walked in the door today and they want a 16x8' sign. I thought 4 4x8' and then mounted on a frame. Nope. They want it all one board and printed two sides so they can build a frame around it. Is this available? I think I could successfully align four sheets of vinyl...

I've created plenty of things in Flexi but I'm at a loss on how to select objects in Flexi that are behind other things such as a contour cut. In Indesign, Illustrator etc., I hold down control (or command) and click until I get the object I'm looking for. Is there any kind of equivalent in...

I have Flexi 11 SP6. I can RIP a PDF to a banner and 75% of the time it RIPs in 5 minutes or less (4x8) and prints out fine. The other 25% it takes a long time, sometimes over an hour, and prints super heavy - 300-400% across the entire print (hopefully I stop it in the first few inches). It...

I'm looking at getting a new printer and the machine comes with PhotoPrint RIP. After googling it looks exactly like Flexi. Is Flexi made by http://www.taimes.net/p/photoprint-rip-software.html ? Anyway are the profiles interchangeable? I wouldn't mind having only one RIP to drive my other...

A topic like this comes around once in a while and instead of bringing up a topic from 2010, I thought I would bring it up from a slightly different POV. I am bringing this up because I feel we are wasting quite a bit of material that gets thrown in the garbage. I think about what I would like...

I have a potential client who wants to start putting decals on their lawn mowers and large Case tractors. What would be a good vinyl that won't have problems being on the hood of the tractor and yet not have problems because it's near the engine and all the heat? Thanks!

What do you you guys to do cut Acrylite without it cracking? I haven't found the key yet. thanks! Bryce

I'm looking at getting another batch of self piercing #2 grommets. The first batch I got worked pretty well until I got my latest roll of gloss 13 oz banner material (Arlon DPF 313) and it doesn't want to seem to punch through three layers on the corners. I'm wondering if it's because I...

I'm not being very successful with my Valuecut 1324. I have 20.5" width of letters on a 24" vinyl roll and it puts the cut quite a ways from the edge. I'm trying to cut black vinyl - no printing- and the closest it will cut is 2.5" from the right and 1.5" from the left. Is there a way to narrow...

I've got a Mutoh VJ 1324. I've been using more cartridges lately. I've used the 220ml size because that is what Fellers told me can only be used in this machine (or the 1000 ml with ink kit). Can I not use the 440 size in this? It sounded like it would be too heavy. The 220's are not heavy and I...

Anyone have any idea where to get a Chinese Electrical Receptor? You can see what it should look like. Right now my laminator uses a 220 to 110 converter for North American receptacles. The laminator works well with the converter but I would like this to be on a native 220 on it's own with no...

What do you use when you just want to print on gloss or matte paper? The only thing I can find is Solvex. It only comes in two sizes and it's a little pricey. Is there other options out there? I'm afraid if I just print on vinyl the backing will peal away as it ages. Thanks! Bryce

So what causes this banding? I'm using the Arlon 3mil 720x720 G2 profile in Flexi Production Manager. I switched to the Arlon 720x720 G4 profile and it went away but the dots are not as fine. Is it the Arlon material or the profile? I'm confused on this. I've had different material give banding...

Hello, I get a little confused on the terms. I'm looking a cast and a calendered vinyl. The both say removable but also 8 years on the specs. Does that mean it could be used temporarily on walls at a show? Does that mean that it can last 8 years on a vehicle and then cannot be removed? I'm...

I'm putting a 14'x3' decal on the side of a trailer. I'm looking closely at the cost of 3m IJ180 and it's expensive. I'm sure it's worth it, but is there another out there that you use and find works well that doesn't cost so much?

I've got a sign that I'm trying to run side by side on a 54" roll on my Mutoh. I can't seem to get it to do it. It only wants to run 1 column and 2 rows. I can use my imposition software to do it, but I thought there might be a way to do this in flexi directly. Any ideas? I've attachd the...

I've tried several times today. I have no problem applying to the 4mm coroplast. But now that I have a customer who wants it on 10mm, I'm getting bubbles like crazy under the vinyl. I've tried with the flutes, against the flutes. The sign is 24x60. The flutes go long. For the most part it...

It's the time of year when there is a lot of static and my latest vinyl roll (LG) has a terrible problem with attracting lint and dust from all the static. After working hard and throwing a lot of vinyl away (and ink) because of specks I came up with this. I used these lint free cloths that I...
