  1. Logo for critique

    @peavy, i think you nailed it.
  2. Logo for critique

    the font has a modern feel, and the graphic relates to things old/antique. and the negative space is in sharp contrast to the symmetry of the graphic. plus "lucky mojo" has a very hip vibe thing to i'd go with that feel. is the celtic thing a must? above i modded some letters to make...
  3. Logo for critique

    using rounded arial as a base
  4. Logo for critique

    i like it as a draft and i hate it as a final. the font/s looks just straight stock. the relationship of the letters (spelling) is clunky with odd negative space. if the logo being the celtic thing is written in stone then you'll need to do lots of vector work to the company name to bring...
  5. Can I disable a print head? JV3 160sp

    to eliminate the head, you'll need a few things. chips for lm lc (temp chips for $5 because you won't be using any). unplug your pumps so that the printer is "thinking it's pumping". change the ink set to CMYKlmlc** then manually pull the ink into the different positions. in the rip...
  6. Any idea how to make... THIS?

    i'd 45 the whole thing with 1/4 mdf then spray it with oil based green to match. you'll need a pin nailer. and some fast urethane glue.
  7. Want bigger thermal printer!

    they can come pretty big. even bigger than the one shown.
  8. Mimaki JV3 problem

    the jv3 with its cammed capping station can starve vacuum to the backside. i say your capping station springs may be getting weak. start with simply stretching them out a bit for more pressure. you may also want to place a razor blade under the right side to put a bit of a lean creating more...
  9. Ebay Cleaning Valve Device for Large Format Printers (my VJ1204)

    it goes directly above the dampers. the nipple on the far side will have a connection to cleaning fluid. each head will have three positions. ink, cleaning fluid, or closed. this allows the head to be flushed quickly using minimal cleaning fluid. a very good option for printers that stay...
  10. Sliding miter saw for cutting extrusions

    i'd think that a radial arm saw would be a much more pleasurable tool. better sight line, more working space. they are so cheap, used on craiglist in that they have fallen our of favor compared to sliding miter saws. i'd get a used 14" model. the blade will stay much cooler at that size.
  11. Ebay Cleaning Valve Device for Large Format Printers (my VJ1204)

    as for weight, these come in stainless steel, aluminum w/ plastic valves, and all plastic designs.
  12. Will your CET flatbed or any of your flatbed printer prints wipe off with alcohol?

    i think CET ink might be the most solvent resistant uv ink i've come across. after fully post-cured, the ink stands up to MEK.
  13. Carriage Will Not move (as if welded to home position)

    motor is off. still won't move. took tension off the belt, still no move. with the side off, put my back into it and suddenly it's moving.....???!!!???!!! argh... i took this thing half apart for this? probably have a bearing going out and it was rolling over onto a flat spot. these...
  14. Carriage Will Not move (as if welded to home position)

    update: when i put a phillips head on the gear of the servo, i can get the motor to give me about an 1/8" of play forward and back. the carriage will move with this movement. but nothing past that tiny forward and back. i'm going to unplug the motor and see if i can get the motor to reset...
  15. Carriage Will Not move (as if welded to home position)

    i believe the servo motors for these have a magnetic brake in them. i'm assuming the brake is stuck "on". the carriage will not move at all. with great force you can't see it move a micron. the "bonk" noise (turned it on once more to see if it reset/cured itself) is the sound of the belt...
  16. Carriage Will Not move (as if welded to home position)

    i haven't turned my H700 on for several weeks. upon hitting the on button i hear the vacuums crank up, then a *BONK* noise. i notice that the carriage is not moving back and forth for cleaning. i turn the printer off, unplug it, even unplug the carriage motor. the carriage is locked in...
  17. How to cut Acrylite successfully?

    the cleanest cut i've ever gotten, from something that is shop based (you can get a cleaner cut from a heavy duty cnc router with a diamond bit) is a track saw with using a plastics blade. yes the saw will run you about $600ish and the blade is another $135, but the edge left is almost...
  18. Cleaning Solution ?

    homebrew is cheaper. but the real difference is it is much higher quality. if you compare OEM vs carbitol/acetone in a test, the OEM does allow some settling and coagulation over time. you can repeat this same coagulation by adding the cellosolve to the homebrew. the carbitol breaks down...
  19. Cleaning Solution ?

    the ink is much hotter of a solvent than carbitol alone. the only use for the cellosolve is cost saving.
  20. TJet 1671 Random Lines

    your kind of lucky. it will be easier to fix a rip (resintall or firmware, etc) vs find some elusive thing in the machine.
