yup. it's booty shorts and power tools over here.

thanks for all the advice and encouragement. 20 hours and counting. my smoking hot girlfriend has been edge banding all after noon. i printed until 7:30am. sad thing is, ...as soon as i get this "shutdown" finished, i'm in another four day shut down on another project. not to mention, i'm...

it has to be sprayed with and acrylic clear. there's a bit of an art go getting warpy veneer through the printer. i modified my head carriage so i could pass over the humps. also, the media sensor is what does all the "head crashing" not the head. so i took off my media sensor and 3m taped...

well, took the encoder off. looked extremely clean under magnification. all i found was one single cat hair. ...which i think was about 99% the cause of it the drift. over about 30 passes, i'm off about 2mm. that would account for a single speck somewhere on the encoder. i'm going to go...

i looked at the service manual and there are two pages of badly translated tests. they compare all kinds of y motor distance vs. encoder distances to diagnose if the y motor or the encoder is the one losing steps. i find the whole two pages of describing the test unintelligible. considering...

yesterday firewire, today encoder. i've got a black head that is going bad and it's getting overspray near the capping station. this has caused the encoder strip to get a mist of black. today i cleaned it off really well, thinking that was my issue. now it's perfectly clean and the printer...

thanks, after that was solved... white ink starvation issues, then the worst encoder staggering i've ever seen. i got 1 of 14 printed. the mimaki gods do not like me.

the NV concept was cool. looked like a giant scion xb. but for some reason there are these marketing people that don't do research that actually go in and ugly up american cars. there is a perception that if it's modern or european it won't sell. but for the nv, they killed it before it had a...

yeah! i've got two cats (hate cats) and a wiener dog running and jumping over the cord . i almost punted the wiener dog into the kitchen when he sped by (keep in mind, my rig is in the living or not-living room). it's time for some zip ties. @john1 no sleep for me! i do need to collect...

oh man. this is sweet. for a working man, this is as close to cool as a van is going to get. the 2012 full size transit (T-series). it's almost a done deal that they will be building them here in the US next year.

i've been searching for a rock hopper or lt. but just falcons so far. i've seen a few stripped down. they are decently compact little machines for how massive the hull us. i bought this today in order to do the mod more easily. i'll be able to spin it around and work under the gantry...

argh! (i'm drinking my samual adams grifin's bow barley wine. which i think has avery beat. hard to believe) thanks, all done with a hill billy flatbed jv3 here's how this type of work looks finished http://www.flickr.com/photos/alldredge/sets/72157626414222282/show/...

@mikepro!!! changed the cord and it's alive again. i can't believe it was that easy. but thank you. i would have never tried a new cord. i mean it's a cord. the cart must have fallen on the cord? who knows. now i have to find out why i'm not getting any pesky white from the black...

@mikepro. i'm going to look at that. i had my "auxiliary white cartridge fall on the ground. but it fell so far away from the cord, i didn't figure it made any contact. it might have smacked it and then bounced over a few feet? i've got some other cords. oh man if it's this easy i'm going...

kent with macmedia has contacted me with an emergency repair scenario. ...the thing is my buyer doesn't buy graphics except from me. and i many times deliver later over the years because of a blown power supply, or bad head, etc. it starts to sound like i am just making up a technical issue...

@custom grafx thanks for the link (haven't started deep searching yet. but will in the next minutes). when i look in the device manager, it says for the 1394 controller "this device is working properly". i'm going to search this forum and yahoo jv3. i can't believe it's midnight (i...

getting a sick feeling. i went to "add" printer. and when you click jv3160sp usually you see "idle printer" show up in the list. ..... i'm wondering if i can just get through this job using a parallel port? it's not that much printing. but it's a component of two big multi-media pieces...

i may be in some real trouble. i have a huge delivery going on a truck this sunday. here's what happened. i was trying to pull my rip station a way about six inches or so from the printer. i've heard that the firewire boards and such are very sensitive so i was painfully careful as i...

... one other thing. and there's no way to get a falcon outdoor II or a xerox 8290 to be loaded with firmware that will avoid this "interwoven" color? i think it might cause total chaos in the future if i was to change to other inksets. or at least the constant altering and plugging and...

does it ever. i feel like i'm googling mutoh with the replies i'm getting. thank you! so falcon outdoor II's (very common. a few 87's out there currently. doable. but there will be an after noon of cursing the mutoh gods. that layout will kill the f-style manifolds. one damper per head...
