  1. VJ1204 missing black nozzles...

    Apparently not long enough to know that they're called 'peristaltic' pumps, not 'parabolic' pumps.
  2. VJ1204 missing black nozzles...

    You don't have to break them open. Unnecessary and messy. Ease on down to your local farm or veterinary supply and pick up a 35cc syringe and a long large bore needle. It should coat you less than $2.00. File the needle dull so you don't stab anything, including yourself and/or the sack...
  3. Banging head on desk.

    'Mike' is Blacklight, 'Schmitt' is the ever passe Serpentine, bog know what the rest of it might be.
  4. Vinyl shrinkage and crop mark detection.

    Shrinkage is not the problem here. The minute amount of any media shrinkage isn't going to have any effect on anything. Here is the definitive reason why most any auto sensing rig cannot find registration marks. Pay attention... When the plotter moves to where it thinks a mark should be...
  5. SignVox Here we come!!

    It's not. But what, exactly, does that have to do with hate? Do you feel that anyone who might either disagree with you or perhaps feels that this particular item is not a harbinger of the second coming somehow hateful?
  6. pantone colors

    I use both the default Corel palette and the Pantone Coated palette. Seldom, if ever. If I can't find something suitable between the two palettes I use, I'll just make an arbitrarily decision and declare something suitable Open it up and see what it looks like. See if you can use it, or...
  7. pantone colors

    Create it using RGB and send RGB to whomever is going to print it. If they whine, tell them to deal with it or find another printer. I've been sending 300ppi RGB jpg files to printers for years and what I get back is pretty much what I sent them. A RIP, most any RIP, can deal with RGB far...
  8. More of Phillip's handywork...

    Sorry, this says 'signs' like peanut butter says tire repair. I don't understand the stream of gratuitous complements and cautiously mild criticism unless these people either owe you money or their guide dogs were off chasing balls. Why do I feel like the one pointing out the emperor's lack...
  9. 2 fonts needed help please

    The top is an abomination called 'Bleeding Cowboy', the bottom looks very much like the passe 'Cataneo' with 'Cataneo Swash' upper case.
  10. Spelling and grammar

    "Too" versus "to" [versus "two"], has nothing to do with tense, the words are homophones. I could plead typo but I choose to defer once more to the laws of perversity governing grammatical expositions as stated in a previous post. Calling 'typo' is the easy way out.
  11. Printing on Vellum?

    Why don't you buy the 10 11x17 sheets for $19.99 and give it a try?
  12. A nice logo

    Still too horizontal. Look at the bottom example where the elements appear in a border or container of some sort. The proportions of that container are pretty much the golden ratio [.6180...]. If the elements of the logo itself, without the border, were in that proportion it would be far more...
  13. A nice logo

    Sorry, but I fail to see any anything special in this forgettable attempt at a logo other than it most certainly is forgettable. Technically, it's way too horizontal, the red thing may or may not carry any meaning, the typography is strictly Microsoft Word quality and there's too much of it...
  14. Spelling and grammar

    The laws of perversity clearly state that any critique of grammar or spelling will contain at least one spelling or grammatical error. Usually right where it does the most damage.
  15. Spelling and grammar

    Being unable to communicate in simple declarative sentences has little to do with an incomplete education. It has to do with being a fully functional human being Proper grammar and spelling is good manners, something of which every civilized being should be capable. If someone apologizes for...
  16. Help, 1204GA Can't print Red!

    Well doctor science, your printer produces colors other than CMYK via a process known as 'dithering'. I does not mix inks together such as you describe. It prints individual dots of CMYK in various proportions and patterns to produce colors. In most cases the pattern used is just as important...
  17. Help, 1204GA Can't print Red!

    Your theory on producing a good red with 100%M and 100%Y will probably get you a passing grade in a classroom somewhere, but in actual practice, it doesn't make for a good red. Each and every time someone pops up and declares that their printer, a model which seems to work for everyone else...
  18. I need a linguist

    You would not say that it was 'thundering' unless you were referring to something other than thunder. 'Thunder' is the name of the thing. 'Thundering' is what non-thunder things might do. You'd say "There [is/was] thunder and lightning" not 'It [is/was] thundering". I should think that in...
  19. Outsource printign contour cutting myself

    Exactly so. You're asking for a Chinese fire drill of massive proportions if you proceed with your plans.
  20. Printing large banner w/ Mutoh Valuejet

    You worry too much, just give it too them and collect your money. Wind slits, I assume what you refer to as 'gates', are usually losers. They don't spill all that much wind, they just wear and tear. Sometime calculate the ratio of the open areas of any wind slits versus the entire area of the...
