Also... in the one picture where your cyans are all there, they look like theyre deflecting. That's generally caused by a bad head, I don't think ink starvation would do that. did you have a head strike / media jam recently?

Are you sure? We have a Seiko h274s and the ink lines have never been full. Theres tons of air gaps which we thought were weird... but our service tech said thats how they are. we even had a Seiko engineer fly out from Japan to look at our machine, he checked everything over and never mentioned...

I bet you he goes to other shops to get quotes, then just turns around and tells you he's your "premium" customer. I discount by volume. If you order 1 10 FT banner, I have to spend 5-10 mins loading the printer, 5 mins setting up the file to rip... 5 mins waiting until I can attach it to...

Check Craigslist. Vancouver area is generally $30iah an hour for installers on call. But that's from a shop that hired these people every other day. Wages in Vancouver are low in every industry. $50 is too high for our area. You could likely get some of the highest tier for that price...

Traffic cones... :D Candy corn! It's amazing how many piles of peeps and candy corn and rockets (US calls them smarties) I see on holidays, despite everyone I've ever known hating them.

Is your line 240 volt... or is it higher? Mine was 242 volt... which the tech said is a bit high and may be a problem. He made sure to mark it down on the installation notes... since the wiring is on us, not HP / The tech that installed it. It hasn't caused me any problems though. If yours...

SF And SJ. It's been a few years since I've been.. Most of them were something along the lines of they use cleaning chemicals known to the state of california to cause cancer. Every hotel I was in had it... on the outside, and in the hotel room, most of the major stores seemed to have it. I...

I don't see how anyone can argue these stickers are good. I love California, I always go there. My first time there though... Almost every store is known to cause cancer. I didn't know why every snuggle store said that... But everyone I checked it seemed they had it up. I'm AL for warning...

What's the message that gets bounced back day? Usually it'll give it an error or say why it wasn't delivered... Whether it was rejected, couldn't find the host, too big of a file size... Etc.

I've done uni-directional a few times - when you're doing really small text, uni helps to print it more clear. If your machines settings are locked in 100%, and nozzles are perfect... it may not make a difference... But unless your machine is brand new, thats rarely the case! Of course if...

i know S101 is for profit. But "Hijacking" links kind of sucks. For instance - I was linking an Amazon item...

Agree with vector doctor here. Especially showing the guys face... You lose so much detail doing it with an auto trace compared to his result. It's be interesting to see the finished files also. When I auto trace via vector magic... It does weird stuff. The image looks OK, but it's got a...
