  1. Screw you 3M.

    Always didnt like 3M, and now Im happy to see that there "powerful" name is finally falling. So many customers ask for 3M...because its the only thing they know. Once I explain to them how the other companies provide a superior product JUST TO COMPETE WITH THE 3M NAME.....they start to...
  2. 3D Images for Box Truck Rear Door...How do you get your image?

    Thanks everyone, I appreciate the help & ideas. This particular job will be the back of a box truck, & this company sells/hauls high end shoes. The picture looking in will be of boxes stacked along the sides w/ sample shoes next to the boxes, their logo on the boxes ect ect. My second...
  3. 3D Images for Box Truck Rear Door...How do you get your image?

    Hello All, Im hoping for a little insight from those of you who have designed/installed the 3D style graphics on box trucks.... i.e. the back of the box truck looks like you are looking inside the back of the box truck. Im interested in any tips you may have...how you took the pictures...
  4. Mutoh Falcon 2.....Using more Magenta & Yellow than it should be??

    Hi all, I was hoping to get a few opinions on something..... My mutoh falcon 2 is going through MUCH more magenta & yellow than black/cyan. I notice also that its going through more magenta than yellow....at an unreasonable rate. Im changing the magenta 3-4 times before I change black or cyan...
  5. Falcon 2...Anyone made home-made material edge covers????

    In the past it was a torch that I used....not a heat gun, and had bad results, so Im going to give the heat gun a shot. Thats odd Eagle.....I have a roll of ultraflex that just came in, and it has threads on the edges. Not quite as bad as a cheap brand, but enough to cause problems without a...
  6. Falcon 2...Anyone made home-made material edge covers????

    I tried that once....but I guess I did it differently than you....because when I did it, they melted together and when the roll would unwind the pieces that were melted together would split and pull more out. Im doing a bunch of banner printing right now and I'll give it another shot....maybe...
  7. Falcon 2...Anyone made home-made material edge covers????

    haha, SO RIGHT. Haven't laughed so hard in a month......just happy to not be alone haha. Yes, it is so aggravating that Im actually thinking about another brand. Between the two of us, that could be $40,000 in lost sales for Mutoh....not to mention the countless others who have had the same...
  8. Falcon 2...Anyone made home-made material edge covers????

    YES....I cant tell you how many tape measures have smashed against my wall because of ruined prints lol. Mutoh cheaped out on the edge guards...The equivalent mimaki's have them. Its just a small metal guard that slides over both edges of the media and protects against head strikes & banner...
  9. Falcon 2...Anyone made home-made material edge covers????

    Hey all, has anyone else had difficulties with the falcon 2 and the edges of materials? The Falcon 2 has no material edge guards, so every time I run banner through, the thin threads of banner on the edges get caught in the print heads.....or rub on the face of the print head.....and cause ink...
  10. Mutoh Falcon 2 Outdoor....360 Profile Anyone?

    Hey everyone, Im trying to find a profile for high speed printing...360 resolution. Every single profile that I have or can seem to find is always 720...which is great for all types of printing. However, I would love to have a high speed profile for banners that will be high on buildings ect...
  11. What Is This?????????

    Randy....thats why you are AWESOME. Im over here ready to smash my head on the wall trying to figure this out...and here you come with Common Sense! Im going to flip the media, and if it follows...Im happy (no printer problems). I'll update. Thanks!
  12. What Is This?????????

    For the record...I believe this has something to do with the Arlon Media (6000xrp). The other 54" material I have been printing on is perfect. I also tried different heat settings, powering down and back on ect ect. If it is the material, this will be just one more reason to NEVER use...
  13. What Is This?????????

    Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Possibly a bad roll of media? This is only happening on the right side, approx 3" from the edge, and has no fixed pattern. WTF??? Im pissed because this project fit PERFECT with 3 full sized panels....now I have to print an additional panel for...
  14. Falcon ii outdoor - Latest firmware

    Weaving is AWESOME! I cant imagine having to print regular anymore. However, when I need small detailed prints (like really nice small decals) I do switch back to regular printing with 8 pass...and get the best results. But, for everythign else, "Sign" weaving!!

  18. Wholesale supplier for Plastic Slatwall Inserts

    Im actually talking about the plastic inserts that hang from the slat wall, not the actual slat wall. The walls in their locations already have slat walls, they are looking for custom hangers to set shoes on. Ive attached a picture of a normal insert holding a shoe. Im looking for something...
