PC600 and lines in print
Well purchased a pc600 this week (used maybe 20 hrs.)
Went to play around this weekend and set it up.But sadly there are horizontal lines threw the print:( (can see the base yellow threw it)I came here did some searching and found some real good post’s.
K here is what I have tried so far,switched to print mode 2 (hotter setting)didn’t help.The obivous cleaned the head with pen and cleaning sheet didn’t help.
Changed the line pitch didn’t help.
Tried a new set of ribbons didn’t help.
After reading some more found a post and seen the rubber rolloer that lays down the ink is a little dry and brittle,so think that is my next point of action.K another place I think I need help is doing contour cutting with it.
I had a stand aalone cutter be for I bought this that I used to contour cut after printing on my Mutoh printer(just a printer not a cutter).
I can’t seem to figure out how to do the same thing with the pc600 as a stand alone cutter?
I am using Flexi Pro 7.5v2 software and in the advance pannel there is no options available for setting crop marks or location points?Need to get this figured as I sold the cutter I had to purchase the pc600,any help would be much apreciated.
Also I read there is a way to see how much use is on the print head,where do I find that?
Thanks in advance Paul….

Those horizontal lines sound like your print head is shot.
You have to be scruplessly clean with your vinyl as the smallest piece of dirt under the head will give you lots of grief. -
I’m afraid it sounds like you will need to get a new head fitted. Lines across the print are a classic sign of the head having breathed its last. You have tried all the cures and I am afraid this is the only option left.
You can configure it to run as a normal plotter – it shouldn’t be any different to installing any other plotter and driver. Check your installation instructions for installing a plotter in flexisign

Hi guys, I also started having 3 horizontal lines going across my printing…
I also have tried several things…I get a better result when using a clear vinyl or mactac 9800…the lines are less visible…I need to finish a job before sending it for head replacement…
These are just to sensitive…I’ve always cleaned the vinyl very carefully…but even so I guess wasn’t clean enough.Have any of you used a “Dust off” (compressed air/spray can) to lightly blow any small particles from the vinyl, particles that may be to small to see…just in order to keep the head clean at its best???
Thanks,
