I didn't know brighter = classy

Does it have to have the actual numeral "2" or can it be "Two"? There's something about it I don't like, maybe because it starts the name.

The line weight on your berry looks too thin with that font. Also, instead of a circular berry, why not a raspberry with the individual seeds alternating in color?

The client wants the art all the way to the edge, nothing that looks like a frame. Something like this: http://www.weldoncolorlab.com/edgetapeinfo.php I found and ordered some cloth tape used for hinging foam boards, so we'll see if it works as an edge tape too.

I'll take one. ecfwho at gmail Thanks!

I searched, but couldn't find a topic about this. We've got a client that wants 1/2" Gatorfoam with finished edges. I've seen this done with a black tape, but what kind of taped is used that sticks to the foam edge? Anyone have a supplier? Utrecht has a bunch of black tapes, but I'm not...

I try to stay away from Avery, but if you're cutting anything out of the vinyl I recommend Avery Etchmark over Oracal. Oracal doesn't seem to want to stick to the app tape, or at least it doesn't want to come off that waxy backing paper. I haven't tried 3M though.

Necro-post warning! A search for Abduzeedo brought me to this thread. I remember this one. How did it turn out?

Here's the finished product (finally). It ended up not being painted, just a print on IJ180, applied while hanging upside-down. The more I looked at it after I printed it, the more I was worried about legibility from a distance, but I think it looks just fine.

Bah! Thanks. I guess it just saves me from having to sell them when I also realize I have no time to practice.

Are these still for sale?

Update: The dampers came on Monday. I switched out all on the left channels and it seemed to fix the problem. I did a print and some test draws and then a big print, all with no issue. I noticed the pump for the cyan was still lagging behind the others though, so I suspected the new dampers...

Love it.

No, the tubes were switched that entire post

JV3 160SP, yes. I switched the magenta and cyan tubes. I powered on and saw the cyan flowing nicely, magenta not so much. I did a test draw and the cyan had a full pattern on both sides. Then I did a 4"x12" print of c,m,y & k rectangles. The test draw after that showed missing black...

But if I'm having an issue with the Black and Yellow as well as the Cyan, then would a tube swap even prove anything? Could the pumps (never been replaced, about 6years old) be so worn out that they just aren't overcoming any pre-existing resistance that a new set of pumps would? The pumps...

I haven't gotten any bubbles on any of the draws so far, but I'll try again and get someone to listen. Other than that, it sounds like I just have to wait for the dampers to come in.

When I move the carriage all the way to the left and look from the bottom, it looks like there is a cap-shaped ink ring on the head. Other than that, how do you check for a good seal?

Okay, I swapped the cyan dampers and the problem migrated to the right side, which is good news as far as the head is concerned. When I took the dampers off I noticed that the manifold on the bad side was a little crusty, which might be air in contact with the ink at that area. Hopefully...

I'll try that tomorrow morning. Thanks for the suggestions.
