There is a tab that comes out to stop the printer when the cartridge is empty. We have a Falcon II Outdoors and use 220ml cartridges. When the cartridge is empty or stops printing it typically weighs 5.8 oz on our postage scale. We run the cartridge until it stops the printer. The machine gives...

What are you using for rip software?

We have used Orical and Avery wall film, I'm not in the office and I don't remember the material nuumbers, but they are both a heavy 6mil material, and we install with felt squeege with no tape, which save a lot of timeapplying and removing the tape. For a long wall we unrolll 15-20 ft to make...

We recently had a problem with a painted wall. Apparently some paints have something in them to make them dirt resistant and/or easy to clean, what ever it is, the vinyl didn't have much bite and started to curl with in a week or so. You would do well to try a strip of vinyl and make sure it...

We had the problem with cartridges on a 5 year old Falcon II under service contract, we found taking the cartridges out and putting them back sometimes 2-3 times would get rid of the message. For us it was always the same #2 black cartridge. A sensor was finally replaced 2-3 weeks ago and the...

Thin PVC get brittle when cold, if you're in a snowy area, a snowball can brake the sign. Wouldn't think 1/2" or thick would be a problem

We installed a 40' x 14', 13oz banner using 42" cut vinyl letters in 2005 on an exterior brick wall, it's still up and still in decent shape. It's tight on the wall and anchored every 2ft.

We install a lot of 3mil vinyl without lam or tape using felt squeegee. If trying to install the same day it's printed and no lam you have to tape other wise the eco ink will make the viny too stretchable. Never saw paper tape stretch except in the rain. A window in the sun will be hot and cause...

We get occationals PPT files from our largest customer who is a reseller, but they are files forwarded from their customer. It only takes 5-10 to prepare and over all this customer accounts for more than 200k this year. The ones that really annoy me are the the people that send a print ready PDF...

I was interested in the Latex machine, the price is reasonable.I took a file to a local distributor who had HP and Roland. The latex machine seemed really slow. The actual print time wasn't too bad but after loading material it took 20-30 minutes to heat up before it started to print. Every time...

Fellers sells one made by Leister that runs $4000. I've seen it demoed at a show, but don't own one. From what I remember it made a strong seam. We use tape for hems. A welded hem would seem fine if you are using gromet. Don't think it would be good for pole pockets if used outdoor because your...

We supplied a 30' x 20' thru Signs By Tomorrow Bloomingdale, IL 2-3 years ago, they did a great job. We made one 30' x15' using cut vinyl, got the blank from Fellers and put the vinyl down on the gym floor at our church, my knees are still sore just thinking about that one. That was about 6...

We use Flexi 8.6 Pro and aseperate design station, love the program except it doesn't always import PDF file correctly. We usually import PDF thru Photoshop and save as a PS file then import to Flexi to Rip and print. Does anybody know if Flexi 10 does a better job of importing PDF's? We also...

We have had the problem with a Falcon II the past few months, we found air int the tubing between the cartridge an the head. With our machine if you run the head to the left as if you were to cange the wipers and take the left cover off, you could see air bubbles in the clear tubing. We used a...

The only supplier I'm aware of that has that kind of replacement part is BannerUp and that doesn't look like one of theirs. I agree, with Brian, sell them a new stand.

Had the same issue last Friday, first no cyane then magenta. Need to put ink thru the pump with a syringe and run about 6-10 deep cleans. Are you sure you have ink in the cartidge. They have started to run dry with no indicaction on the display.

My first printer was a 48" Mutoh, one of the firswt in the country with ecosolvent ink. Bought it because I took a job needing 10,000 sq ft of outdoor vinyl in 4 weeks for the grand opening of a shopping center. By the time it arrived and was installed we had 3 week. We ran it about 20 hours a...

Phototex is available thru Fellers or Harbor Sales

Phototex would work fine, just the expense to buy a whole roll for one small job. Avery has a 6mil wall film with a low tac removable adhesive that would be reusable.
