  1. Sabre 408 motor not engaging

    Hi folks! I have a Sabre 408 and the motor is not turning on. This happens about once or twice a year and typically it's the brushes/motor itself so we keep a couple extra in stock and replace as needed. Well this time it's not the motor, I've removed the motor and tested it in a regular...
  2. Font help please and thank you :-)

    Nailed it, thanks! See I knew this was the place to ask, thanks again!
  3. Font help please and thank you :-)

    Hi fellow sign makers....anyone recognize this font? Customer is telling me it's Artisan which looks to me like a copy of Brush Script and either way not what I'm seeing here....looks familiar but I can't seem to pin a name to it. I'll probably try to talk them into something more readable...
  4. Goose Neck Lighting for double sided post/panel sign

    Wondering if anyone knows of a good/reliable source to purchase Goose Neck lights. Not using any names but I've tried the first place that pops up on a Google search and wasn't particularly satisfied. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
  5. FB950 - magenta ink on yellow head after a purge

    still good to go....
  6. FB950 - magenta ink on yellow head after a purge

    update: I pulled the head and separated it from the reservoir. Both O rings were there and didn't appear damaged or poorly seated, but I'm still thinking they were the problem. I put the head onto a different reservoir with new O rings and reinstalled. Seems to be fixed, the hissing during...
  7. FB950 - magenta ink on yellow head after a purge

    Thanks Woldy, actually working on it as we speak. I have the old printhead and have been looking at that and I think you might be right. Checking into it now and will let you know what I find, thanks again!
  8. HP Scitex FB950 error 01200071 - Help please!

    Figured it out...had a lot of bad jets that were getting mapped out. I think so many were hard mapped out that it didn't have the jets needed to print in 600 x 300 mode. Replaced the head with the bad jets and now can print on 600 x 300 with no trouble.
  9. FB950 - magenta ink on yellow head after a purge

    Hoping the intelligent folks here can help me. I've replaced a magenta head on my FB950 and everything seems ok except that now when it purges I hear a sound like it has an air leak, kind of a hissing as it purges. But the prime bars are perfect, there are no warnings coming up (I would think...
  10. Service manual for FB950

    Me too please, been looking for it for awhile without any luck.
  11. Edge Finishing Alumalite

    you got it, corrugated core...my concern exactly. There is no solid core to wrap the vinyl onto, and "edge capping" looks bad, pops off the surface too much. I'm not sure there is a product out there that is similar to "edge capping" but maybe is thinner or flush mounts somehow but that would...
  12. Edge Finishing Alumalite

    Thanks Bob! I'm probably going to be using roughly 1/2" thick substrate, do you think the vinyl wrapped around the edge is going to crack/break over time? I would probably use something like oracal 3551RA w/ 215 overlaminate. I'm worried the material could expand/contract over time and...
  13. Edge Finishing Alumalite

    I'm wondering if anybody knows of a slick way to finish the edges on Alumalite?....I have used edge capping before but I'm looking for something that is lower profile and can potentially have vinyl wrapped over it. The end goal is a lightweight wayfinding sign that will hang above people and...
  14. Thick Stencil

    +1 for HDPE (high density polyethylene) we've also used it for years works great, lays flat, very durable, easy to clean/reuse. haha also works great as a leader for a laminator, excess laminate peels off easy!
  15. Thick Stencil

    We can offer stencils like you described We stock roughly 3/16" thick polyethylene material specifically for stencils. The material is designed to not let anything adhere to it very well, so they are easy to clean up and reuse. Also the material is more flexible than sintra/pvc and stronger...
  16. Match Striker material and/or vinyl needed

    I'm wondering if anybody knows of a material or method to add a match striker to a printed vinyl decal? I've googled it and didn't find anything right off, so I thought maybe the folks here might have an idea. I have a client who wants to put them on glass jars and fill the jars with matches...
  17. HP Scitex FB950 error 01200071 - Help please!

    Just installed brand new LVDS data cable hoping to correct error 01200071. The new data cable does not correct the issue...the issue being that it will print on all speeds/modes as long as I use 600 x 600 or 600 x 1200 resolution. But if trying to print any speed/mode using 600 x 300 the...
