  1. Falcon Outdoor Print Head Problems

    OK here's the story. Turned the printer off. I pulled the KCM head. (No Problem) I cleaned it with cleaning solvent in an ultrasonic cleaner. (The K was clogged pretty good) When complete all 3 (KCM) had a nice "rainfall" of cleaning solution easily pushed through them with a syringe...
  2. What Would You Charge?

    I know every place is different and everyone's overhead is different and yada, yada, yada. But, What would you or your company charge for a project like this? 6'x14' "Roadside Billboard" on Prexisting poles and Mount. (The bottom of the sign is about 6' from the ground) Aluminum...

  4. 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...
  5. 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...

  7. 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.
  8. 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...
  9. 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...
  10. Am I Paranoid?

    I let all my vinyls and application tapes, get to room temperature before cutting or applying. I have always done this, but have also wondered if I was just paranoid about expansion and contraction of the materials.
  11. Big Lines In Printing.... WHY?

    Would anyone have ANY idea what the cause of these wide lines in the print are? The print has a light grey background. They are occuring in between the pinch rollers. This is a new roll of 13oz single sided banner material, and I have not done anything different than I have in the...
  12. Font Help Please

    I just can't pin point this one. I have one that is close (Guardi Black) but it's not correct, and the numbers are completely different. I blacked out the middle because it is just a standard Helvetica. Any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED. Thanks. JD
  13. Bumping Heads w/ the Internet

    Curious as to how other owners of small shops handle it when a customer comes in and asks for a price quote on something then tells you they can get it online for a lot cheaper. Case in Point: 24 Double sided 24"x 18" coroplast signs with wire stakes. My Price $10 each. (They are all...
  14. File Import Problems

    I am having problems opening .png files in Flexi. When they are opened in Photoshop or Corel they have the Transparent background. But when opened/imported into Flexi they still look like the original uncut photo. Converting it to an .eps, psd, gif, or jpg does not work either. I have...
  15. Metalized Vinyl

    I'm going to be putting big wide chrome stripes on a pickup and have tried using R/O water instead of any commercial application fluid. It seems to work fine on the test strips I've done but just wondering if anyone else has any other ideas, since everything I've read says install dry. Thanks
