harmfulgraphics 1 Posted May 26, 2010 Been there. Only time I've run into that was with a 4 foot wide banner. Had the vacuum up too high and wasn't letting the banner slide off the printer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest sciondrgn Posted May 26, 2010 Whats a head strike? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harmfulgraphics 1 Posted May 26, 2010 It's when the printer head comes in contact with what you are printing on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted May 26, 2010 I feel ya Jason. I just printed a 4'x6' banner and set my damn Flexi to only 60" long so there was a .20 inch gap between letters. Thanks to ole Neron I was able to print vinyl and "patch" it. Can't even notice it unless you look for it. It was for a friend for his son's graduation so I am still using it. He got a hellva discount anyways ;D He's spent enough $$$$$ with me that I actually made it for free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
