They stare at the same 60 dollar job for several hours hand tracing raster files while downloading and trying new fonts, just to have the customer reject it. And when it comes time to produce it does not convert their new fonts to outlines or include embedded images. The uneasy alliance...

What kind of burs do you get the the saw trax? Is it a clean cut?

Both Sizes for quote...I doubt it makes much difference the length of the track...both should still cut 4x8s easy bseproduction@jfrank.com

Here is Youtube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaMShjYnJns Looks pretty awesome, but with a 3,200 price tag it better be. We have been using various saws which leave a nasty edge and make a huge mess. Also, there is about to be a mutiny if I keep cutting outside on the break...

So I recently discovered vacuum wipe whereby the carriage goes over a glorified vacuum cleaner attachment that sucks extra ink from priming down into a hole somewhere. (a waste tank that I do not know how to empty lol) This seems superior to the wiping with a lint free towel method...what is...

Not knowing your specific printer, and assuming it is profiled or at least has canned profiles...I would say it just needs a thorough cleaning. My 1 cent

Bobby has done it again... Being an impatient dummy I blew a tiny fuse on the main board of our Roland RS-640. I called Bobby up (at 4:45) and told him it was the F1 Fuse on the main board diagram. He called me back in minutes and said not only did he find this tiny thing on the diagram but...

Good question...I flushed the ink out and I only submerged the head part. Built a little stand out of coro so that it had some clearance underneath it....I taped where the ribbons attach with masking tape covering them as well as most of the circuit board. Ran it for maybe 30 minutes using...

Success..not only did I not break it...but I'd say I'm at 95% Could have gone longer but was worried about my sensitive membrane.... :) 30 bucks well spent http://www.amazon.com/iSonic-D3800A-Ultrasonic-Cleaner-Model/dp/B004MBE6WQ/ref=pd_sbs_indust_2

Its cleaning... lots of little bits are coming out...

Do I need a sensitive membrane? Better call the wife.

Got a 30-40% clogged/who knows Epson DX-4 printhead...the part cleaner came in this morning already cleaned a huge amount of goo out of my glasses and am cleaning my keys now...just for testing.. Going to finish a couple prints and then throw the DX-4 into the wash...will report back...

BS is no substitute for a real laminator. We use ours to lay down prints on 1-2 yard signs or magnets, but that is about it. Easier to grab for quick laying down of prints than unfeeding the lam or more likely moving the pile of jobs leaning on it. The backing paper has to be thick.

You don't want to upgrade your firmware? Well if it ain't broke...

forced upgrade eh...They shouldn't make such reliable machines....best part is it doesn't have a gears icon like 4 other things in my tray

May have been just me but my version of cutting master 2 kept crashing and was full of bugs...I had to restart Illy whenever I wanted to Reg Marks on something.. CM3 looks all modern and functions great. Download here...

Don't use roland inks...that just silly. We've been using STS inks from Cibersupply for over a year now. As far as third party inks ruining your machine, I can't imagine paying for a tech to come out and fix a solvent machine..they are so simple. Many will say cast vinyl always for vehicle...

Why you just vectorize it of course! Then an offset path for your plotter. Or just make a circle behind it....

Get a Master AK-600 new and delivered it cost 2200 I think over a year ago. Still runs great.

A buddy from another sign shop (2 hours away..) contacted me and wants to pay me very well to come try to fix his Colorspan. Long story short my young family has had a rough beginning to the year and this would really help out. I know from my short experience with Colorspans that I should...
