Strange it would happen like that. My 1204 gives warnings when the ink level gets too low. If yours bounces like mine as it prints, it's possible that it got to suck some air rather than ink. Try printing solid blocks of color - 2' square at least - to re-prime each line (at least easier than...

Yep, that's where I bought this machine. Just wanted to see if I could name the part before I try to describe it over the phone :rolleyes:

Nope, neither of those. It's what the media flange sits in on the back of the machine. There's two rollers inside a U shaped piece of plastic that's screwed to the chassis - I need that entire unit (note where the roller "bar" is sitting - that entire unit is what I'm looking for): And don't...

Well, sort of. The media flange holders on the back of the machine with the little rollers - what are those called? I busted one this morning with the edge of the flange; it (the flange) still sits on the rollers, but one side of the plastic holder is gone. Might not make a difference, but I...

And what does that have to do with cutting magnetic on a router??

Nice little spam thread hijack there.....

Hmm.. v-carving in 3mm. That creates problems all it's own. Unless the acrylic is textured in some way there still shouldn't be any issue. It's possible that the heat from the bit is warping the acrylic on deeper plunges, and that may be affecting the immediate area, but other than that I have...

Sounds to me that your cutting bed isn't flat. If it's 3mm acrylic, it's 3mm acrylic. Those tolerances usually don't vary from a manufacturer. But to answer your question, it all depends on what machine and software you're running. Some programs have a built-in Z zero setting, but it won't self...

Keep running cleaning cycles or run solid blocks of color - yellow, cyan, black and magenta. Make the blocks about 2' square. What you have is cross contamination in the lines, likely from the inks being sucked back up and mixing while the head is parked. Sometimes doesn't take long. If that...

No. :ROFLMAO: But seriously, the parts are becoming harder to find. They aren't the most reliable or quickest printer out there, but if you're just getting your feet wet and can find one in decent shape, they aren't a bad starting printer. The next generation models are so much better and...

Not available. Print it, you must.

What Fred said. That, and you'll have too many layers for an effective application on the trucks. Pierce uses only one pass on clear - the black outline and/or shadow - and hand-fills the copy with size and leaf. They'll clear coat over the whole shebang by hand before sending it to be contour cut.

Not bad. I'd try to work in the Established part at the top inside the cross, and the year at the bottom so it's part of the design. Don't use a script font. Work on the kerning a bit - both sets are a bit bunched up in spots.

How about a simple wash under running water and a brush to get rid of the debris? Why the need for any solvent at all? It's possible the citrus cleaner is getting into the pores of the plastic, but I'm only guessing at this point. Do an experiment - simply engrave a square or something on a...

I do the photo shoot 100% of the time and import those images into Corel. I make my measurements from readily identifiable points on the vehicle and scale accordingly. Occasionally I do run into the lens distortion (didn't think about the telephoto lens option - good point, Ptec), but I have my...

Considering they are printed, you won't find a vector file for them. Try http://www.autotrimdesign.net/

Clean and degrease like any other job. There is nothing special about a stainless tanker.

I'm a half hour from the nearest GEI rep and they still charged $1K to come out. Best money I spent. Be prepared to pony up for any electronics you may need, though. I signed up for their service contract - expensive, but pays for everything.

For the small shop and sole proprietors, I have to agree with Jim. While I've had some companies check my DUNS for credit, I've never had to pay D&S for anything - and refuse to. Why should I pay to see my own damn rating?

Yeah, ummm... no. First, you'll get slapped with a large fine and a cease and desist from the artist and second you would need a 300dpi image at size minimum for a wrap like that.
