Even if the prices are exactly the same, the free shipping is huge. How much time and subsequently money is saved by having UPS bring it to your doorstep? I don't know about you guys, but the nearest Home Depot/Lowe's/Menards is 30 minutes away. I actually use Amazon quite a bit for things I...

Lol that lady had a $1000 CNC plasma but not a chop saw to cut her wood.

Yes, this forum is only for people who already know everything so they can look down their noses at people who are starting out. They have forgotten that they, too, started somewhere, have made a bunch of noob mistakes all along the way. Ask a question on how to do something and someone's...

You know, I was just reading an article the other day stating that a person can usually communicate will with people plus or minus 30 IQ points from their own IQ. So look, if you have an IQ of 130 or 140 and someone comes in with an IQ of 80, no wonder you absolutely cannot understand what they...

Thanks for your replies guys. What I'm getting at is, what is a "good red"? or a "good blue"? Is there a website or resource that shows good CMYK combos that work well with the printer? I know some of you keep mentioning RGB mode, but my manufacturer is saying to generate everything in CMYK...

You'll have to forgive my Illy and PS ignorance. I'm a Corel guy for our lasers and a Vectric guy for the CNCs, the printer is still kinda new to me. One thing I like to do in PS is bring the artwork in and apply brushes and overlays to "grunge" down my work, which my understanding is easier...

Stratojet FB1212, Caldera RIP

Hey all, I generate artwork from scratch in Illustrator then into Photoshop for color, then over to the printer. I was wondering if there is a guide or website or something that gives tips on printing colors. For instance, I know in CMYK, 0,0,0,100 for black is not good, but 40,40,40,100 is a...

Kinda weird...looks like drywall.

Who is telling you it's not good? A little story: I had a black printhead go bad, Ricoh Gen4. I was told I needed to buy from the manufacturer at $3000 and schedule a tech to install at $1500. So $4500 in. I found a new one from Sign In China for $1100. I was told by my printer...

I have had circuit boards go bad. Can you see any identifying marks on them? I have had success googling the part number on it. Even on old machines you might find someone out there that carries those.

Better test whatever paint you're gonna use. Some paints melt that stuff.

Guys i love all this stuff. Real artists.

probably tripped a limit switch. power the machine off and manually push the gantry off the edge back toward the center. turn back on and rehome.

We have two Epilog lasers. Yes they are more money, but support is in Colorado. Guys speak English. Getting parts is super easy. As an example, our second laser we bought used. It was built in 1997, and the only issue so far is, we have to recharge the laser tube, which is normal. So that...

Retro Supply. The have a grunge overlay pack for Photoshop.

What is the ceiling height? What is on the walls? Metal? What about some foam panels, much like acoustic panels?

I was looking at a mascot on a gym wall yesterday. It has to be 16' square. I was wondering if anyone here does those. I don't need one, I'm just wondering. A few questions arise: 1.) Cost? 2.) Time? 3.) Is it totally freestyle or is there some mask or stencil used? 4.) Is this all you...

If the controller program is Mach3, they have a support forum there. Good guys to work with. Does the router power up? It could be all the way to one side, tripping a limit switch. If the router doesn't power up when you turn it on, you should be able to push the gantry around. That will...

The only time I have that happen is when I get logged out of Adobe. Then all my "synced" fonts are gone until I log in again. If your internet is kinda janky on Monday morning like mine is, that's really aggravating. They want to make sure your subscription is up to date before they keep...
