  1. Mutoh 1204 Error....HELP!!

    And check the encoder disk on the far end of the unit as well - take the end cap off. On mine there seems to be an issue with grease that gets onto the T fence and encoder disk, leading to both of those errors. Make sure that your media is playing out without any resistance as well. I try to...
  2. can anyone blow this up and actually make out what it says?

    That sucks. I tried running one of those photos through Corel's filters to see if I could enhance anything but it's still too blurry. Sorry!
  3. How can this happen?

    The only thing I've seen close to that is the reflective failures of the old Avery products when the adhesive let go and affected the top layers. Looked exactly like this.. maybe the same thing happening? Maybe whatever you cleaned the Sintra with hadn't evaporated completely? Dunno... strange...
  4. Angelina Jolie is flying her plane LIVE right now and you can track her flight.

    Rookie pilot... walking outside of the designated reinforced walkways on the wings in that second link. Bend that sheetmetal and she'll find out exactly how much it'll cost to fix. Not that she can't afford to fix it...
  5. Gerber 4B

    Same thing here for almost the same amount of time. Amazing the things we started with! Nothing like typing out a line of text to cut on a 1/2" x 3" screen!
  6. "Vintage" stake body signs

    And seeing the red shows that you're picking words out of context, but that's ok. Yes, I do want to see what the basic formats of the signs were in general - if it was basic typography, arced copy (as you mention), whatever.. I was attempting to see if there was a basic trend that was used. Your...
  7. Customer turned "competitor"

    This. If he can't understand basic design and kerning (see second sign on post) you have nothing to fear.
  8. "Vintage" stake body signs

    Thanks Gino... did you actually try that before suggesting? Or were you just upping the post count? Very little actually useful shown with those search terms, and yes, I've tried variants. I suppose I just didn't ask the question in terms the question was meant: what I'm looking for are...
  9. "Vintage" stake body signs

    Hello all, I just had a fellow stop that owns a '51 Ford stakebody and wanted me to make some period correct signage to fasten to the stakes. Now, I'm not quite that old that I remember what truck signage may have looked like then, but I'm assuming it was a pretty mundane look, if stake bodies...
  10. Lame excuses for not getting paid

    "We don't have enough in escrow to pay the balance yet" was one I got a year ago. Those people are still ordering from me and are now on a full deposit status. Only got one small order since then... and only paid 1/2 up front.
  11. HDU Scraps

    If you were closer I've got a ton of scrap. I save anything that's 18" square or larger; sometimes comes in handy for the odd accent on an otherwise flat sign.
  12. This is what the Drunk Driver did to us (GRAPHIC)

    I95 is a crap shoot on the best days, never mind the drunks and other idiots driving 18-wheelers at 30 over the limit. Glad you're ok, far worse could have happened. Sheet metal can be replaced. People can't.
  13. Die for cutting coro

    Sub it out to someone who has a router. A single straight flute bit will make quick work of the job.
  14. Graphic Resource Systems

    Dave and Chris just left my place at 8:30pm or so after a long day at the Philly NBM show. My Mutoh was throwing a finicky issue that Chris tried to diagnose over the phone, and suggested that there might be several issues going on. After a couple hours work, issues resolved and back in...
  15. Crosses & Plaques

    Well... yeah, it's called a CNC router with dedicated software. What sort of advice were you looking for? Owning and learning a CNC is a bit different than a vinyl cutter and has it's own distinct learning curve. Unless you have the money to invest even in a "tabletop" version, look for someone...
  16. A New Wrinkle Even For An Old ****

    I'd see if they would allow you to skin it with something, like 3mm Dibond. Paint/letter that, then hoof it up and bolt it (using fender washers on the back) to the fiberglass.
  17. Computer: always on or shut down each day?

    On 24/7 with sleep mode enabled after an hour of non-activity. Unplugged from the wall when storms are in the area!
  18. No clue, never seen it...

    :thankyou: You live for this, don't you? How the heck do you guys know these things? Even my 'Whatthefont' didn't find it... R
  19. No clue, never seen it...

    Unfortunately, that's the cleanest version the client has. Nice huh? I know one of you 'fontperts' will know what this is! Thanks in advance, Rick
  20. Screw you 3M.

    I have to agree with Auto-FX. The dealerships are looking out for themselves and 3M happened to have what appeared to be a good deal. The dealerships get a guarantee on the wrap (good or bad, and never mind the quality of the install). At the end of the lease the wrap has to come off, so I would...
