where i'm asking about is the clear PET strip/microfilm that the carriage reads to track it's position. still not sure it is the encoder but would like to get the ink dots off and continue on in diagnosing the iffy margin. also sounds like i need to get some compressed air to blow out any dust...

i earlier left a question about a wandering right margin. mike@insignia had a hunch that it is a dirty encoder strip. well i have some small ink dots right behind the head carriage on the encoder strip. but water and alcohol isn't doing it (rubbing alcohol)... not sure if i should use...

well, upon inspection the strip has some ink on it behind where the head carriage is parked. a little white one, little magenta one, and a medium sized black one near the top. i understand that alcohol and water is what is used to clean the strip, but ink isn't going to come of with alcohol...

that's not something i thought of (good idea to check). if there's a dirty line that's seen sometimes and not other times, it would definitely cause the printer to lose count during the print without being aware. i think when it returns home (more slowly then when printing), it may be...

need some advice before i start over nighting the wrong parts... the right margin on my jv3 160sp doesn't stay put anymore. this causes a tons of headaches in that each sheet gets several passes in the printer. so i need the print to register to a perfect consistent margin. currently, i let...

if that's going to be your identity for his clientele, you're going to need to abandon any font. instead, build your name from scratch in illy or corel. stack it into some kind of emblematic sheild or something. bloodbath and cursive just don't brand together.

well, i'd say if printing perfectly between $3500-$4500. most 160sp's selling used are going for $4500-$5500. i'd do advanced search on ebay and choose "completed listings" and you'll get the latest prices/depreciation on used jv3"s.

if you've got two spare 120v spots on a box, you've got a 220v. it's easy.

well, he mentioned that he's currently painting the golf carts. if he can already paint, adding a graphics option to his business would be nice. i don't think that is "going around" a sign shop. it's adding to his design options. and hell, if it's just carts and will stay carts for the near...

i wouldn't suggest sinking a bunch of money into an expensive printer until you prove to yourself that you have the ability to market, sell through, install, and also "enjoy" the business. all that can be found out with a $5000 printer. just owning a printer doesn't mean you are in the...

shops will not have windows... and then signs. the windows will be "programmable glass". business vehicles will have programmable wraps made of graphine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTp8kEuZ1eY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sAc4nqAbOs&NR=1 china will rule the world. followed by india...

i think tiki nailed it with the cross hair on the left and the grouping the orange. that is the best one yet.

goofed around with it a bit

if you insist on the font, the words should not be shorter than the graphic on the side. no outline, no shadow, and the "r's" look odd spacing-wise. i'd go all caps too. also, ar in "ar" and "ra" in graf should have an inverted play between them. it 's just too convenient to not exploit.

the solvent parts will be fine for the water based. and you are a lucky bastard. that is a great water based machine. i am jealous.

it's a good start, but it's all over the place. leaning left, right, perpendicular... and not too crazy about the circle "and" laying over the vc.

those models have electrostatic build up issues. seen several times where completely booting the machine down can do magical things. (off on the front, off on the back, unplug, press front "on" button four times slowly).

in houston i get it (it's been a while, it lasts forever) from apollo paper.

i use white butcher craft paper for blueprints. so cheap it's free by the square foot.

printer techs have a conversion table to translate the epson numbers to other manufacturer numbers. but i'd take the above advice. plug in the printer and print. i've had a discussion with a tech that purposefully punched in the head ranks to see if there was a difference in a detailed side...
