  1. anybody know this one?

    Not seen this before
  2. 3m - 2ml after 4 years

    This film is applied to the hood of a school bus that came in last week for minor fixes.... This vinyl was put on dry 4 years ago. OK I know it is on a black surface that faces upward, but a cast film should last longer.
  3. OK whats the deal with this file looking this way

    OK look at the "T" this is not a well designed font and the other pic shows the overlap causing the problem.
  4. OK whats the deal with this file looking this way

    This is what I call a cheap font!! I asked the designer to look at it as a font in wire frame and he tells me it actually looks that way...who designs a font like that? In fact the "T" is smaller than the rest of the copy....Must be done offshore and cheap... I spend 30 minutes fixing all the...
  5. OK whats the deal with this file looking this way

    The designer is telling me this is a font. I have seen where a conversion breaks a font into pieces but not like this!! When I print the "P" that little overlap causes the background colour to show through. Now normally I would do a quick weld and get on with it, but this graphic won't work...
  6. Signlab VS Illustrator

    I am a Signlab user since it was DOS as well... I have Flexi and Gerber Omega as well. If I were to start all over again I would definitely learn Illy and Signlab so that I had the best of what each offers me. So many files we get are designed in Illustrator and Signlab can't handle...
  7. Need a Mimaki Tech

    I pay $50 for a 1/2 litre bottle of Bestjet...that is a pretty large savings and since switching over I have never needed to run print adjustments. I can't tell for sure but I do think that this particular brand of ink is a little more gummy and needs slightly more cleaning than OEM ink.
  8. wiper seems to be getting jammed!!

    Thanks guys, I will use your advice and do some rigorous cleaning in there.
  9. wiper seems to be getting jammed!!

    I have never done a firmware upgrade and basically run the printer on a comp that can't access the internet. . Playing it safe.
  10. wiper seems to be getting jammed!!

    Mine is purely mechanical and I suspect because the black ink had drained out, somehow it has made a mess inside that area that I cant seem to find. This morning I fired it up and the wiper moved out fine...Maybe it was the gunk on the underside of the rail that is not visible. I will say...
  11. wiper seems to be getting jammed!!

    My jv3 130spII although getting on in age (8 years) still prints good and I have kept up the maintenance quite well, or so my technician tells me. I had an issue a few weeks back with my black ink, and somehow 2 bottles were drained completely dry and I called him in to syphon the lines and get...
  12. Trying To Make Oranges Brighter

    I had to try and get a bright orange for a fleet of vehicles and the best I could do was to do a double hit with a softer orange. The final orange was pretty brilliant...so on top of that I also had to find a way to match a blue as well running a double hit. Due to having to print quite a bit...
  13. Anyone out there in 101 land refill their own OEM Roland cartridges?

    Maxmedia in Markham, ON has them...and no flushing of lines and I honestly think my machine prints better than it did with OEM. never seem to run print adjustments anymore
  14. Removing Adhesive From Glass

    Yes I have tried this method...works much better than having to deal with agent orange in my lungs...
  15. Anyone out there in 101 land refill their own OEM Roland cartridges?

    Oh I see...I understand... I use Jetbest which have 500ml bottles that you suspend upside down on top of refillable cartridges that bestjet supplies. Same basic pricing for ink, but all I do is pop a new bottle onto the cartridge and never run out of ink.
  16. Anyone out there in 101 land refill their own OEM Roland cartridges?

    OEM ink for $55.00? 440 ml that sounds way to cheap to begin with
  17. 20 gauge galvanized steel...how does one round the corners?

    I think I might invest in a set of those teeth...:smile:
  18. easiest frost film to weed small stuff

    OK guys...I have what might be the most tedious frost job and I will need to cut quite a bit of it, and don't want to sit for endless hours fighting the weeding process...basically it is a pattern of something like 1" v's one upright the next upside down continuously and row after row of...
  19. 20 gauge galvanized steel...how does one round the corners?

    Just wondering if there is a tool that can do that...I have a round corner machine, but seriously don't think it can deal with thin steel...or can it?
  20. heat and chemical resistant stickers.

    I figure if a decal can sit on the hood of a car and resist the heat of the sun than that would be considered heat resistant? If I laminate the decal would that be chemical resistant?
