  1. Need help with printing gradients and profiles

    We'll try it. Thanks Bob!
  2. Gradient and profiling issues.

    We have a Falcon Ourdoor 46 and we just bought Flexi-10. When we attempt to print gradients we're getting other hues thrown into the mix. IE: light gray to black ends up with magenta or green hues. Is this something that color profiling will fix? We need to speak with someone who has a real...
  3. Need help with printing gradients and profiles

    Thanks. It happens even if we set up a simple rectangle and gradient from white to black or from white to red. The hues still enter the picture.

  7. Attitudes around here lately....

    Well, having been salted with a grammatical error, I can see why everything took the tack that it did. If you want to keep a thread on track, never put "an" in front of a consonant. :Big Laugh Interesting thread for sure. P
  8. Hosed again! Oh well.........

    New deal. Have you ever called China? We have about 10 meters of white Mutoh tubing on the way. If its the real McCoy I'll let you know. If its not, well... I guess $45 is not too much to roll the dice with. Latigo
  9. SolventCartriges.com ink for Mutoh?

    There's nothing in the world wrong with Liquicolor in a Mutoh as long as its not for body wraps. We've used it for 8 months now and it's no more caustic on the tubing than OEM inks, but........ It definitely does permeate the film deeper and interacts just a bit with the adhesive making it more...
  10. Hosed again! Oh well.........

    So here's the skinny. I was able to reach three different techs and parts managers of large ink and parts suppliers. All said the same thing. They'd been trying for months to get that white tubing with no success. They all have dozens of customers waiting. One of them even asked me to let him...
  11. Hosed again! Oh well.........

    Thanks, SignManiac! I had been to that website but missed that one. I'll try Calgraph too. With any luck they won't remember me. After four years I turned down their service contract when I learned enough about the printer to do my own repairs. Thanks folks! Great help. Latigo
  12. Hosed again! Oh well.........

    Thanks Craig, but its a specific tensile strength that works with the pump cams, and too soft, it slips, too hard it won't move the ink correctly. I don't think I could guess at it. Latigo
  13. SolventCartriges.com ink for Mutoh?

    They're not actually for Motoh, but we've been using the 440ml from Liquicolor.com and they work great for Mutoh, a perfect color and profile match, cost the same as the OEM inks in 220ml, but.................. The ink is more aggressive and it activates the adhesive on your film making it very...
  14. Hosed again! Oh well.........

    Its too small for ours. OD is 4mm. Sorry. Latigo
  15. Hosed again! Oh well.........

    Does anyone have a link to mutoh oem type white hose for the pump? The clear stuff is too soft. It also seems to be the wroing diameter and I bought like 20 feet of it. Any help appreciated very much. Thanks Latigo
  16. Getting Hosed

    Robert, is the hose you have the white hose? I bought the clear stuff advertised for Mutoh and its not working well at all. Its too soft by a bunch. Can you help me? Latigo
  17. Christmas Tree finally up

    Hard to take a good picture with all those digital lights shining so brightly. You can hardly see the tree! Check the look on long ago Latigo's face. It was the day before Christmas and no presents yet. Santa always brought them during the night back then. Money was scarce back then so...
  18. Unemployment & Older Workers

    When I passed 65 I called the kids together and explained that "in the back of the Bible someplace" there's a passage that says a parent that has cared for and seen to the wellbeing of their children from the beginning should then be taken care of by their children till the end. So far they're...
  19. Montana Humor.

    :Sleeping: Well, anyway.......... It was a hot day, and the old rancher was repairing his fence line at the back end of the place. He stopped for a drink of water and noticed a small dust cloud out across the barren lease land. He resumed working the fence and occasionally looked up and...
