  1. OT - Warning for iSign

    That's hilarious. I'm with Eric!
  2. What REALLY causes heads to go out?

    I probably average three cleanings a week. I know people say to do them everyday, but I don't fire up my machine every day. Sometimes it prints all day, sometimes it prints two times a week, just depends which season I'm in. I'm thinking when they go out it'll be time to just upgrade to a new...
  3. What REALLY causes heads to go out?

    I have a 6+ year old Mimaki JV3 here, and I have had multiple service people tell me that they're amazed that my heads have lasted this long. I also remember when the installer came to install the printer when it was new, he said "head strikes are what ruin your heads". I can probably only...
  4. WTF? ...is this really a National holiday ..TODAY?

    I'm with Gary. I'm the only guy in my shop, so I work a lot when there's a lot of work, and I work a little when there's a little work, but my family is number one priority. My number one job is being a daddy every second I get, so if my jobs are caught up, I'm with my family loving every...
  5. Your Christmas time-waster

    That's NUTS that I remembered that. I remember some song on Sesame Street from like 22 years ago that was all about the number nine, and they said no matter what combination you used, some kind of math always equaled nine. CRAZY what sticks in your head.
  6. Considering a logo change

    Best thing I've seen you can do is have someone else do your own logo. Then you don't have to go through all the "do I like this or not" stuff. If someone else does it and you get it and like it...it's done. There's not all the questioning as you go through it.
  7. How do I find this arch!?

    They already said that they hated the lights. That's just random lights the construction guys put in I assume. So those will be changed after we do this. What a mess it all is. I think Phototec hit it on the head...but just for peace of mind, I'm having my installer go build a template...
  8. How do I find this arch!?

    The picture was taken on the street, and the sign is basically second story, so that's no good. I figured that'd give me trouble.
  9. How do I find this arch!?

    My installer is going to build a cardboard template of it tomorrow. Thanks for reassuring me of what my big concern was. Hopefully we'll be good to go.
  10. Old ink from Fellers?

    I had bordeaux inks that I got that the "time stamp" or whatever it is that won't let me print from the cartridge all at once when it still has ink in it, was past it's date. I had to pull chips off of new cartridges to use up the other half of the inks. That started all kinds of other...
  11. How do I find this arch!?

    The worst part is the giant awning they built under it...you have to get out a giant extension ladder, and it's a pain to get to and it's awkward.
  12. How do I find this arch!?

    Banner PAPER? I don't have that. Give me a link as to what you are talking about. I just want to hit this on the first shot. I can't imagine us having a decent enough day coming up to get back up there and get paper to hold still. I'm trying to come up with some way to work with what's...
  13. Your Christmas time-waster

    Is this one of those "they all go back to #9" deals?
  14. How do I find this arch!?

    I am working on a sign for a building that was just renovated. They built this arch area for the sign into the front, and I'm just wanting to make sure that I'm thinking right so I don't have to redo this and be out lots of time and money. I took the length of the two sides to the bottom of...
  15. What's this part called? Off of a JV3 Damper.

    Well rather it's an original mimaki part or not...I guess I don't care...but it's what was on the printer new out of the box...so whatever it is, I need.
  16. What's this part called? Off of a JV3 Damper.

    Can someone tell me what this is? I was taking a damper out to look at it because it wasn't getting ink, and this attachment piece of ink line came out, and the seal that sits in it fell out, so I assume that's all supposed to be one piece, and why I had trouble. I'm not sure what it's...
  17. What is wrong with the State of Florida?

    I do all my renewal stuff online. I did my license a few months ago...just gave them a credit card number. New trailer, online, new truck, online. I haven't gone into the DMV in YEARS. Just once every eight years I have to go in to get a new photo taken. So that gives me four years to gain...
  18. Feels great to fire someone

    That's awesome. I'm to that same point. Had a real jack wagon call me this week saying "I have a tow truck I want lettered to stand out. I don't just want plain mailbox crap on it, I don't care if it's pink smiley faces, I just want it to stand out". I told him I'd email him some of my work...
  19. I must officially be an apple nut...

    Well, just found my first downfall. My Final Cut Pro won't install on this computer. I suppose it's got something to do with "Lion"...but I'm not sure. I'm hoping that there is some kind of a work around, but I doubt it. Probably gonna have to drop some coin for new software now...I'll put...
  20. I must officially be an apple nut...

    The FedEx guy just dropped off my new 27" iMac and my iPad. I bought a MacBook Pro about 5 years ago that's still as fast as the day I took it out of the box, and I love my iPhone. My accountant said I needed to "spend some money" and I figured I might as well update some computer equipment...
