  1. White Pass #73 font?

    As The Vector Doctor says, virtually no railroad lettering is an actual font. It was all designed by hand, and in most cases, rarely a complete font, with all characters, upper and lower case or punctuation. An example is Norfolk and Western lettering for passenger cars, locomotives and...
  2. Agfa Head Issue

    The jet test is where is forces ink out in a vapor, I am assuming by this point, it was flush. But when you do a purge, it pushes nothing through.
  3. Agfa Head Issue

    Hi All I'm no longer doing printing full time, I've taken a new and totally different job, but I agreed to help out the place I used to work on an as available basis. I agreed to print a single sign today. We have an Agfa Anapurna Mv, 10 years old now. I fired the machine up, can get all the...
  4. Need Help Agfa Anapurna printhead problems

    I would agree with that, they also know how to calibrate, and that is worth the money.
  5. Question Do you use dedicated rip computer?

    I use a separate computer for Onyx and an ancient (Windows 98, I think) machine for the Gerber. I agree with everyone else, that it is far easier to keep the printer running with a separate machine and not be bothered with bogging it down with design software. I use USB sticks to carry jobs back...
  6. Free Standing Display On Foamcore

    We purchased a bunch of spider feet to use for exactly this. They work well, but if the floor is a bit unlevel, you may have to do some bending to make them level out. I don't remember the exact size, since its been 6-7 years, at least, but I think they are about 18 inches across and we had no...

  9. Agfa anapurna m2 service manual

    It is a technical manual, far more detailed than a users manual. PM me and we can go from there

  11. Does doing it right matter?

    Indeed, you are exactly right. I also processed film, spotted negatives with opaque, never smoked, thankfully. Stuff being passed down is essential, however, most (not all) younger folks do not care hwo it used to be, only what they can do now. I was talking with a much younger excellent...
  12. Does doing it right matter?

    Generally speaking, the problem lies within the instructor, if they do not have a solid background in how and why, they cannot teach it. Younger students have no real idea of why only what they have been told. Back when I was in school, it was a bit different, they taught actual usable skills...
  13. Agfa Anapurna M2540fb Flatbed White ink

    Corwin I wish I could change ink sets, I spoke with Agfa Technical support on the matter just this past Friday, as a matter of fact. Unfortunately, he forwarded me a spec sheet on the various printers and ink sets as to what will work in what machine, and it appears that I am stuck with the...
  14. Agfa Anapurna M2540fb Flatbed White ink

    Hey Dennis The flaking issues I have were only on the edges where I had to cut and stretch the ink with the cut, and where it was heavy coverage, like with a black or dark brown, dark blue, etc. I've not had any real issue with flaking or peeling other than that. It is not restricted to just...
  15. Agfa Anapurna M2540fb Flatbed White ink

    I cannot speak to your specific printer, but we have an Anapurna Mv that will be 9 years old in December. Generally speaking, I think they are decent machines with some issues. White ink opens up its own set of issues, I am sure. Several things I would changed if it was my design, one being a...
