or hot wire it outside of your printer. that way you can pause your print, delicately smooth out a wrinkle, or repostion the media without your printer knowing it and wanting to remeasure. i can't stand a printer with a mind of it's own.

that was the worst apology i've seen in a long while. i smell a personality disorder. and... college student?, i'm 43 years old. have been self employed since was 12. have a 12 year old daughter (presently with which i am in a custody battle for her by her request), divorced, filed...

i'm sure just about everyone on this forum averages about 16+ hours a day. that is standard for the sign/printing business. if a post doesn't get answered, the protocol is to reply to your own post with the word "bump" or ??? or "please help, i am dying here..." the guys/girls ont this...

jiarby's attachment was funnier. i even got sucked into that one.

you'll need a screw driver, wire cutters, and a small hammer. right behind the lever panel will be two wires leading to lever up/down sensor. very carefully start jabbing the screwdriver at any exposed pcb boards. also cut ribbons, wires, whatever you can get to while cursing the signs101...

i thought about the latex option too. virtually for all printers. in the pdf for different inks it will mention "developed for" such and such a print head. in my experience printers print ink. i'm sure there will be a whole range of aftermarket latex inks for all forms of printers out there...

with cmykog, there is no lc lm. i had my roland fj set up with cmykog for years. it still couldn't nail a perfect red or a perfect blue. the advent of these new printers running "actual red" and "actual blue" ink is a plus. as for giclee prining, roland should have developed a red/blue ink...

the american inkjet sytems website was fascinating. too bad there aren't any solvent inks. i've considered going double cmyk with my 160sp (currently i prefer to just pull the black channel to be a temporary white). i'm never impressed with the color. it's good/great. but never WOW! are...

yeah.. the art business/world is about a stupid as it can get. name digital printing in french and tada! it's not an inkjet anymore! finer galleries have stopped using the word giclee as digital mixed media (my expertise) has gained acceptance. now it's called...."inkjet". also, back in...

+rooster. the decorative side is basically designers doing hotels, hospitals, and such that need canvases and paper prints for projects. the pricing will be competive because the designer is also marking up the print to the end user. they won't care about arhival quality. interiors are...

okay thanks guys. the korographics pdf had a strange wording. "vertical joints should not occur less than six feet from outside or inside corners". either way that doesn't sound very plausable. in order to be more than six feet from a corner on both sides, your print would be 12' wide...

i've got my first wall graphic set up/tiled and ready for print. but i just heard that there may be a special layout needed for wrapping around a corner. currently my graphic has a panel that simply wraps around the corner. is that wrong? do in need an over lap right at the corner?

doing the same thing right now. after several hours of searching (and i have done giclees int the past). the HP Z3100 44" looks like a category killer. you can pick a used one up for about $3k. a whole set up paper, ink, pc etc won't run more than $5k. pretty cheap to extend you net. as...

i'm right everyone else is wrong. !!! rolling stones? that is a classic name that had to do with the history of music, "my papa was a rolling stone" etc. every name in marketing comes from a long list of rejects. hell "ACURA" "sprite" etc. it's not completely arbitrary. for that matter...

bird strike just might be the worst band name i've ever heard. it's not even "bad on purpose" (scenester style). did the birds form a union and go on strike? are we hitting bird with sticks? with a target in the logo we are told "no we are shooting birds". that's great. zit faced teenagers...

i wish the solvent ink makers would introduce red and blue ink like in the z3100. most of the outdoor printers have lm lc which is useless. red and blue would really be a giant color step foreward. those are the hardest colors to nail accurately.

saw this is craigslist/houston. the new/retail on it is $1100, used $300, filters are $54 each. i'd get it but get by with my hoopty air cleaner set up (don't do that much printing). http://houston.craigslist.org/tls/2261700938.html

all this discussion about water based got me wishing i was doing giclees on the side. my main buyer, purchases tons of prints. after doing the research, the HP z3100 44 seems like a category killer for water based. although a bit slower than canon. but the price of ink and paper was off the...

once i negotiated a price for cleaning my property in trade for my aluminum scrap. i was gone. my girlfriend supervised the project. he loaded up the $400 worth of aluminum scraps and drove off!!! gah! didn't get his name or anything.

the image i saw some female head shot with silver lips and silver make up highlights... etc. they took it off the wall and flexed it in the light and were like "woohooo look at the silver"... i was like, "hmm... you shouldn't have to lean it into the light and flex it in order to see it...
