  1. Mimaki JV3-160

    without any details on "doesn't work", I'm sure you'd be hard to find a solid offer. last time it was printing 100%? what happened when it stopped printing 100%? what has the printer been doing since?
  2. 3M 8518 lam issue

    old roll? i've seen this on my near-spent roll collection, of the 85__ that's 3+ yrs old, that I keep around for samples/tests (and because i'm a pack-rat)
  3. How have you "rigged" it?

    using the syringes from our trim cap setup, I keep refilling cleaning cartridges with homebrew cleaning solution for printer inkline/head flushes. did it once in a pinch during some printer issue diagnosing/overhauling, and now I don't even bother buying new ones. I've since started using spent...
  4. Mimaki printers constantly stopping

    check the memory on the computer. enough hard disk space? file too large for your computer's RAM to handle?
  5. Frosted window film with intricate design installation

    wet, always wet for any translucent material. for full fields, i prefer soapy mixtures for the slide-ability. contour cut letters/designs deserve a little more love and need the rapidtac install, as it allows the vinyl to stick more aggressively once you've thrown a squeegee to it. I'm also a...
  6. Mathews Paint users... mask ?

    maybe too much thinner in your paint? too much paint at once? i've used all the brands and never had that issue. +1 to peeling soon-after the paint just barely sets: major time saver and cleaner lines. sidenote: when I want to remove an entire reflective sign panel, I just soak a rag of...
  7. need info & opinions

    we seal our push-thru letters with clear silicone AND, in most cases, back the clear letter with white trans. (or other color) vinyl. if not, water spots will be the least of your worries... bugs are attracted by the light and will fill your letters with hundreds of corpses in no time.
  8. Temporary Wrap over a Wrap

    Can't just do a partial that covers certain elements? Also noted that magnets still work over an existing wrap
  9. Font help?

    yup! ancient script did the trick... luckily only had a few letters to do, so removing the jags wasn't so bad.
  10. Printing on felt

    fuzzy material will leave you wishing you never tried it. but it IS possible stray fibers will haunt your printer for months. expect many random drops of ink on your regular prints from here on out, until you've caught them all.
  11. Font help?

    omg jhilldesigns! just found an old thread where you guys hashed out the same issue. lol
  12. Font help?

    just hopped back on to say, its gotta be Papyrus but without the jagged edges :( is there such a version? searched it already, but no result
  13. Font help?

    liquor store with mixed fonts in their logo.... going nuts here. found the other but I'm hung up on:
  14. How to keep birds from eating the grass seads?

    ground alka-seltzer does the trick. contributes to your compost pile too!
  15. Why is my GX24 cutting like this?

    +1 either that, or the blade holder. something is inhibiting the blade from turning/cutting smoothly.. causing it to jump and tear. strange that its not happening to all the cuts, or at least all the cuts in that spot on the axis.
  16. nowhere else to go

    needs moar PrinTEX oooor here's a freebie from google:
  17. Midwest Meet and Greet

    sign me up!
  18. It's Here!

    just bought my copy last week! 10% off my upgrade from CS4 to CS5+ with a free upgrade to CS6 when its released next month!
  19. Anyone know where to get 14ft Aluminum Signs?

    shoot, that's easy. you can make it outta 1 4x8 sheet of 1/8" aluminum. welded, seams filled, sanded smooth, with a 1" extruded aluminum angle-frame welded to the backside for support (and give your "pan face" some dimension).
