  1. Replaced the dampers now what? (No Cyan)

    Duh, sorry that might help. Mimaki JV3 75SPII. Thanks, Kurt
  2. Replaced the dampers now what? (No Cyan)

    Hey all, Just replaced some dampers in my printer and I am not getting cyan to come out. It doesn't look like it is coming through the lines yet. All other colors are very stout and good. After replacing the dampers I did several ink fill ups and then a few strong washes. Anything else I...
  3. RIP required for Mimaki JV3 160sp

    I have Onyx 7.0 Postershop. I'll take $800.00 for it. PM me if interested. Thanks, Kurt
  4. What material should I use for racing stripes?

    Only cast. Oracal 951 or 3M cast. Cut vinyl. Thanks Kurt
  5. I'M RE-BRANDING. Thoughts on new logo?

    How about putting the stuff on the bottom line in a black or blue panel with a white, more well read font? I like the start you have but this is what I don't know about. Are you ever going to embroider or screenprint that logo? What will it look like really small like on a business card? That...
  6. Economical wrap kit for box trucks

    We almost always use Oracal 3551 RA and 290 lam on box truck and trailers. 4560 GTX is asking for problems. I think at one time they said it was good for partial wraps but after replacing so many of them after everyone followed their specs they re-wrote that. It should at least be good for a...
  7. What say you about this one?

    I agree with everyone else. A swoosh? really? Use some creativity on this. Thanks, Kurt
  8. Anyone sell through a online store? What do you sell most of?

    Calvin peeing on #3 and Get Er Dun are by far our best sellers... Thanks, Kurt Sorry couldn't resist!
  9. A few samples

    Good job! Very nice stuff! Thanks, Kurt
  10. Some interesting wrap projects

    Nice job, those are some good looking wraps. Newbies and hacks take note. Thanks, Kurt
  11. New Shop Truck Layout

    Yeah, why not get a little creative instead of just throwing a bunch of bad effects, colors and fonts together? If you really want to do a theme wrap, play off your name "Area 51 wraps" You could really do some neat stuff utilizing the "Area 51" history etc and getting creative. What you have...
  12. Old Paint lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wishing you the best! Get back at it soon! Thanks, Kurt
  13. Vehicle Template

    Chances are pretty good you are going to have to build that from scratch. That is what I have always done in the past. Thanks, Kurt
  14. CS5 Purchase

    Try Amazon.com. Sometimes you can find used copies that are legit as well. Don't buy educational unless you are going to school. People who do that are the ones who drive prices down in our market and up on our software for the people who actually go out and buy it the legit way. Thanks, Kurt
  15. Anyone use signcraft directly for their pricing?

    Used to use it a lot for stuff but now I find it to be not very accurate. We set our own prices based off the profits we need to make on a job. We win some and lose some but everyone we win we make money on. We are just sick of playing the price game so we would rather get less more profitable...
  16. Attempt at my logo

    I would certainly look to go with more of a layout like SignManiac has posted. Yours just looks like plopped out words. I needs something to tie everything together, has no flow and bad combo of fonts together. Thanks, Kurt
  17. Old Paint in Hosp..

    Get well soon OP! Thanks, Kurt
  18. I need to pick one! Please help!

    I would rethink that laminating comment before I get too against it. I see more stuff that isn't laminated with curled up edges and defects of the sort. Inside or out everything we produced now gets laminated. Thanks, Kurt
  19. I need to pick one! Please help!

    I agree with petesign. If you are going to go this route buy an additional cutter that will read crop marks. Too many times you will find yourself printing only to need the cutter as well, it is good for space but it is a huge production bottleneck. I would pick Mimaki over all of them but the...
  20. Our new site went live today too.

    The website is ok, but the work on the website is amazing like always! You really have a neat thing going there. I could look at that stuff all day. Even though I am a digital guy your work and creativity and imagination is just damn fun to look at, not to mention I love your shop and office! I...
