  1. Can you swap out a jet best cartridge with an oem cartridge?

    Why would I want to do that...Simply my supplier ( the only one in Canada) are away until the 11th. I was pretty sure I had enough ink, but it seems that my yellow has gone down to the INK LOW warning way too soon. I figure I could just get an OEM Mimaki ink to use as we never needed to...
  2. Can't Find Particular Etched Film

    There are so many different types of films out there today. I had one client bring me a roll of film that was apparently frosted tint out of China. I was hesitant at first to try and cut it, as in the past I found cutting tint to be difficult, but this stuff was not only thicker than normal...

  4. Avery 900 supercast 300c isn't even close

    Maybe it's me but I have a pantone book lined up with this Avery colour chart and not even a close match...in fact the Avery pantone 293 is a better match. Normally I would not be so anal, but this is for a transit company that already has 100's of vehicles driving around, and I am being rushed...
  5. Can a dye sublimated display be cleaned?

    Customer spilt coffee on their 4x3 hop up and wants to know if it can be dry cleaned or cleaned at all. The fabric I found out is a powerflex polyester with lycra. I only suggested that they try using a damp cloth with a very mild detergent first and if that does not work, try and find an...
  6. Compensation for weekend work?

    Like Gino said, in the early days I used to work many more hours than now, trying to get established. My mindset now is I don't mind coming in the odd Saturday morning during the winter months or rainy days as I have a horrible habit of not sleeping much past 6am. I feel that it can make the...
  7. Need Help Gerber Edge FX won't boot up

    I know with mine, every few months I get a beeping, although mine is an Edge le. I have to flip it on it's side and open it up and seat all the boards and make sure all the plug ins are sitting correctly. Make sure you power it off and ground yourself before touching anything in there. Check...

  9. Printer in sleep mode gets stuck with wiper and stays on until someone hits enter.

    no error code just a flashing hit enter. I have cleaned the tracks twice in the last 4 days.... I think it best to let it sit running in local overnight and clean again tomorrow.
  10. Printer in sleep mode gets stuck with wiper and stays on until someone hits enter.

    I have had this issue in the past and a good cleaning of everything in the wiper area usually stops it from sitting idle until someone hits the enter button. Now I have cleaned everything heavy duty twice and it still happens. Not sure why, but wonder if it is best to just keep the printer...
  11. Water on 3m ij180

    I think due to the moisture it will take longer to fully adhere. I once made some decals for a guy using wrap material and he put them on with water. 2 days later I could pull them off with very little resistance...they were sticking though.

  14. How does a signmaker take a vacation?

    I am guilty of not taking a real vacation. Sure i take a week off, but I really would like to go to Europe for a good 3 weeks and tour around...As a 1 man shop that is near impossible..but I am 60 now so maybe in a few years I just go and what will be...will be. I am not easily replaced!!!!

  16. Question Removal of old graphics

    Just finished getting the vinyl off a fairly new sprinter ambulance. The graphics were 2 big wavy stripes going down the sides. I cringed when I first saw it and my customer who gives me quite a bit of work, although usually brand new vehicles doesn't think I should charge him very much...
