  4. Wall decal edges curling

    Am I doing something wrong or is that just how it is? I designed an image in photoshop and importing it (.eps) into a template in Flexi. The template consists of basically 2 layers, a background image (sent to back) and an overlay (sent to front). I want to drop the design between the 2...

    Trying to print a large solid and am having problems. It appears to have very random area's of darker print that looks all orange peelish, like a bad rash, no particular pattern at all. I'm not sure if it's the printer, the inks, the material, the color profile, or what. Some advice/help...

    Went to computer this morning to start the work day. Send my first job and when Production Manager opened my 24" Graphtec, 54" Q series, and 48" ValueJet were missing. I figured it had something to do with several critical windows 7 64-bit updates that were installed last night. So I...
  11. Mutoh ValueJet 1204 InkNearEnd

    This morning when I came to my printer I hear a constant beeping sound with the LCD showing me [M]InkNearEnd. I'm a bit surprised at how fast I went through the ink cartridge. But anyways... When you get this error, is NOW the time to replace the Magenta cartridge? or will there be another...

  13. 48" Waste tray replacements

    The ink waste replacement pads that are in the ink waste tray on the 48" Mutoh. Do you just buy em from SW? or do you make your own? Just seams like to me that I could get away with something cheaper than having to buy the actual replacement pads. Paper towel? cotton balls? What do you do?

    I set up a test print that sits in my production manager and I'm running it 1x a day in the mornings (1"x1" CMYK Squares 7x across). I was wondering if there was some sort of macro setting I could put in that will also print the time/day when I print my file (aside from manually writing it...
  15. Design positioning

    I designed a 2' x 5' banner. I'm printing on 38" material. The banner design has roughly 4" of white space all around it before the text to allow for hemming etc. When I go to print my banner, Flexi is forcing all the text to the very bottom and right. How do I set this up so that it's...

    So my dad has been bugging me to do something to his tailgate now that I got my printer. Oracal 3651 w/210 Lam. Took me about 20-30 minutes to apply. Not too bad for my first wrap attempt. I'm not too happy with the tailgate handle but he was ok with it. We'll see how it holds up to the...
