Just a note to say if you have never tried a steamer to remove vinyl off of backlit (lexan or acrylic) I would say you will be amazed. I have a 36” by 20 foot of lexan to remove lettering. I started with a spray (vinyl remover 4 oz for $8) and it did not help a bit. The vinyl was so brittle...

Quick question on the Big Squeegee. You say it was hard to push. Which way do you roll back your media before you start to remove the backing? I Assume you hinge the start point. I know if you just roll back the media so that the adheasive side is the outer part it does not work the same...

If the rollers are fine, I would be with Rushworks Graphics, and say you might need to set up your print and cut with a calibration. Make a file with a small square and have a cut line set up about 1/8 inch offset. Then send that file and fill it the length of the media and do a couple rows...

Sorry I might be missing something here but can you not just pull a profile off of versaworks, for that printer, and use it in flexi? Or does this still not give the results you are looking for?

It does not bunch. Just did a similar thing with Oracal 290 lamianate (reverse printed and applied to .020 pet film) and backed with Oracal 751 white. You can bend the sample no problem and the image is fine. The .020 film is thin enough that you could print direct to it ( I use a CJ500...

If the captop filters ever swell up and touch the heads it can create a syphon and drain that color. See if they look bumped up so much that they might touch the heads when parked.

In the older Rolands it's in the service menu under test prints, but you need the key sequence to enter service mode. The other way you can do it, depending on your rip, is to make a file with a solid fill of 100% magenta and print it. If you can edit that file in your rip there may be an...

There is a good chance that the magenta head just sucked up some cyan into it and will clear out after either a couple cleaning cycles or print a fill test print where it prints am inch strip of each color.

You could try to set the number of passes in the cut tab (5th tab) settings (flexi Production manager) to 2 passes and you might even be able to drop back the pressure if it works. Just did some decals with 751 cast and 210 matt lam and needed 2 passes at 140. My blade is also due to be changed.

Hey just a thought. Take the cutter tool out and run the file as if you were going to cut and see where the cutter goes. If it looks off you saved your print right there.

Looks very nice Tim. Any issue with durability of the ink? Scratch resistance? And do they come out dry to the touch right away?

Can you remember what you had the page width set at? Also it may not matter if it reads the crop marks and uses that space it reads. However on my file I had it set to print the file in the middle and not just start at the right edge. I just finished some decals laminated and then cut and kind...

Thanks Fred I have a weakness for filters and plugins. It's like what others talk about with fonts. Have lots but a few more never hurt.

Just got my disks of Eyecandy 6 and Blowup 2 from Fellers and found that the Eyecandy disk was an older version and the activation did not work propper and had to download a newer version from Alien Skin's web site and used the code from the disk I got, and it works. So just in case you get...

I will try to cover some basics and I am still learning. The reason to make profiles is most due to not using an original ink that your printer is made for. When you use their ink the profiles they give you make the ink print the industry standard color that you should get. If you use a 3rd...

I don't have your Falcon printer (always wanted to say that) but: If you look at the rail your print heads travel on you should see above there is a track where the wide ribbon cable travels back and forth as the printer prints and if the cable inside that track gets kinked it could crack one...

In the photo it seemed ok till that point. Once it starts to do it does it continue or is it off and on? If you print the file at half size, keeping it starting the print on the farthest right you can, does it do it? If it only does that on the prints that reach that left side of the printer...

You are right again. Yet another mistake. I have already reached my mistake quota for the month and we are not even half way through.

Leave my elipsis out of it.... just add dumb a$$ where the .... are and just to make sure I am still kidding "....."

I used 11/10 now are (20/20) ink and they worked well in my CJ 500. I did need to make profiles to get colors right but Roland profiles printed nice, just off in color. Smell was not an issue. Slight smell when printing. Now am using Lyson 2000 inks and so far are working ok. Not sure if they...
