  1. FC8000 Preventative Maintenance

    I've been running a CE5000 for about 4.5 years and have not done anything to it except blow out the paper shavings in the blade track with a can or air. The FC Series is a lot better than what I have so I'd say run it till it dies.
  2. 1st time for me

    Power washer. I bought my own from Wally's it was worth every penny and just charged an extra $180 to cover the cost + hourly rate.
  3. Mutoh Falcon Outdoor clean or fill ????

    Have you tried covering the top black square on the all the ink cartriges with a chrome type vinyl? This will send the machine into wash mode. Let it start pumping the ink into the waste bottle. Shut the printer off and remove the chrome vinyl over the black squares. Turn the machine back on...

  5. Head Soak and Clean

    It's a Mutoh Falcon Outdoor 62 and I have only used Mutoh Inks in it.
  6. Head Soak and Clean

    What are you using for Head Soaking and Cleaning the print heads? I want to use an ultrasonic cleaner and don't really want to tear apart a cleaning cartridge for doing that. At around $40 each that is kind of pricey. Is there something available in bulk? Pint or Quart size? I have been...
  7. Head Cleaning Question

    This may be a dumb one but.... Is it possible to clean only the black print head on a Falcon Outdoor 62 with the cleaning cartridge installed? When I install all 6 cleaning cartridges the menu screen says Clean Black and Color Heads. All heads except black are firing correctly this is...

    BIG THANKS to the Bigwawg!!!!
  9. Font Help Please

    I am having a severe brain cloud today on this one, because I have used this font before for another customer...but can't remember who. Anyone know what the font used for the BG Genetics is? Thanks
  10. How not to get the job

    I wish I could work for Sign Tech. Then I wouldn't have to make any decisions. What a stress free life that would be.
  11. no valid epos reference was found error

    Usually when the material is too short I get the error saying "END OF ROLL TOO SHORT". When that happens I tape some scrap material that is the same color as the material that is printed to the back of it and make it long enough. I also leave at least 5"- 6" on the back side of the print to...
  12. no valid epos reference was found error

    Why are you printing the page off the cover of your Mutoh Instruction Manual?
  13. no valid epos reference was found error

    What kind of vinyl are you trying to cut? Is it White Vinyl? How many points does it try and sense before you get the error message?
  14. Printing on Oracal 751?

    Just wondering if anyone here has tried printing on Oracal 751, namely the metallics, with Eco-Solvent inks? I do a lot of printing on the 651 but need a silver metallic to print on. I want to keep this job as a single layer if possible.
  15. Heat transfer material?

    I've been using EnduraTEX from SW for the last 4 years (specifically their Hotmark 70 and Metallics) with great results and zero complaints. It is a lot cheaper in price than the Thermoflex and Siser materials and I get the same results.
  16. Motor Clicking Help Please

    The motor on my Falcon Outdoor 62 just started clicking last night when I was running the media through it. It does it in both directions and sounds kind of like a playing card in the spokes of a bicycle wheel. Tic-Tic-Tic..... I took the end off and the belt is good everything is solid...
  17. R-Tape Question

    I have to agree. IT IS JUNK. SW must have had a SPIFF on the aplitape. I got some 4075 RLA ordered today from S+B.
  18. Gradient and profiling issues.

    Just a thought, may be a temporary fix. Can you back off the ink output of some of the colors? I've had to do that before and it got the job done.
  19. Apple vs. PC poll

    Where is the " I use Windows on my Mac" option?
  20. R-Tape Question

    I've been using 4057 for the past 5 years and was just informed on Monday that the tubes that are marked RLA are wrong, and the only app tape that has the RLA ( that SW sells anyway) is Clear. I have never used or ordered clear tape. I tried arguing the point of what I wanted and my rep...
