That shows the heads and pumps are working, so it's electrical. Double check all ends of the cables going to the heads, but make sure you disconnect the power completely and let it sit for a while so capacitors can discharge! Just turning off the power switch leaves current flowing to all the...

Is it drawing ink through the head when yo do a cleaning cycle, and just not printing? Or are you getting no ink through the head at all?

CV3 just has finer air release channels, less prone to being visible after you lay it like the cross-hatch style air release.

Needs to be in the 60" tall range, goes exterior, on a pole...

Current plan: I'm gonna send em' two renderings, one a cross shaped double sided lighted sign cab, choice of exterior color that we can just order & install. The other a neon, which was an option that we can do in house, all pending permits. Something that sounded so simple shouldn't be this...

Boss only asked if I could find any ready to install options, do some plans/ drawings to submit before we buy/ start anything, but so far I have no options that meet what they want anyway. Probably should have the boss make a call when he gets back to town next week, if he hasn't already, before...

We've done those, they're more for mounting on a wall, unfortunately this would be free standing, exposed 360 degrees, and exterior. They didn't have a plan-B, guess they'll have to find one.

Wish I could Gino... It's not one of those big ol' churches with a huge steeple, it's more like a repurposed retail building that had a lighted sign, hence the pole/ electrical already there to put it on. They already got the town's approval for it when they renovated it, it's just finding/...

I would have thought so too... If they didn't want it lit on all sides it could be done like any other sign box in a cross shape with no problem. We get all the "unconventional" requests. If we can't get them to go with a more conventional option, I guess we'll end up making a neon one, which...

Was doing some doors at a school, doing the 2nd door, the vinyl started just coming loose on the first one... Wasn't the vinyl, pulled it off and this ugliness happened, took all the paint with it. The doors were peeling so they painted them over the summer, they put a nice coat of latex over...

Turn the lights on and off? That's a quirk that's hard to wrap yer' head around...

If it's old stock it'll do that on just about any printer. If it's not, it's probably heat related. I've had that happen even with solvent printers, mostly with some low tack, cling material, or media that uses a plastic or PET liner (like window perf). On latex printers it can be more...

I like the concepts, but agree with the majority, no outline. When you start getting into small stuff a logo is used on (business cards, invoices, address labels) it ends up making the text very small to fit it all. I also do newspaper ads on the side, you also have to look at grayscale/ BW...

It's because the head drops ink while it's moving, having it too far away from the material causes overspray. The only time you should be running the head in the high position is when printing to thick material that would cause head strikes in the low position. If you are printing on media too...

Inskape is incredible, I've used it off and on since I first played with it back around 2008-2010-ish, it's come a long way. After I retired, that's what I used doing freelance work. Then my freelancing entered the realm of doing ads and layouts for newspapers, shopping guides, and other...

WildWestDesigns If you do flash, animation, etc, yeah, Adobe is kind of a must. If you're a photographer, it's still the boss. It comes down to what you need. I work for a sign company and freelance in the ad world, I design for print, I print, I cut... I send files to printers of newspapers &...

I can tell you why I use it. Saves a lot of money and headaches. Unlike Adobe, their products all Affinity products have the same core programming, so you can work seamlessly between their vector/ photo/ publisher programs. They're streamlined, don't have bloat or require massive system...

Been doing blues/ alternative blues for the last 10-ish years, before that metal, rock, a little of everything since I started playin' in the 60's, except country for some reason. My last show was a blues festival in March 2020, right when everything went crazy. We had an LP ready to release...

I hear ya'... I'm in the music game too, over 50 years. Incredible how such a small percentage of what a musician does ever sees the light of day, it sits in boxes filled with tattered notebooks, tapes and drives filled with tracks, just collecting dust :(

Used to run all Rolands... Start with the linear encoder strip, that tells the head where it's at. It's a plastic strip up in the rail with millions of little invisible magnetic strips in it that a sensor reads to locate the horizontal position. When it gets dirty/ damaged, the head can't tell...
