  1. Old Paint lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Good news. Really happy for ya. Dave
  2. Need a swift reply please...

    Spindles for the railings on decks are 2"x2"x48". They are not V cut at the bottom, but have a taper cut. I use the ones left over from building our deck for stakes to fence off the schrubs during the winter. Get them at any lumber yard and they are treated. Dave
  3. Vinyl on basketball goal pads

    I guess it depends how long the vinyl will be there. In your case sounds like the whole season. Every year we do the signage for the Conference tourney. One weekend girls, the next weekend boys. It's at a local College that doesn't allow the advertising to stay up between weekends. We just...
  4. I Dare You

    Might be a copy right thing. I think it's already been done. White cow standing in a field in a blinding snow storm. At least that's what it looked like from here. Dave
  5. Have to move the shop :-(

    We moved our shop a couple of months ago. I too was worried about moving our printer.[sp300v]. We went strictly by the manual. It will tell you all the little details you might not think about. Be sure and remove the waste bottle. We put the printer in the back of the moving truck, secured it...
  6. Another "What would you do"

    Hey Brandon. I think you missed where I had spoken to one of the relatives who also are part owner in the business. He questioned whether I had brought an invoice with the truck. Seems like he knows how to separate the two more than me. The invoice would have gone to the business office, not to...
  7. Info on my business insurance.

    Maybe your agent saw you the other day trying to take that 4x8 sign down in the wind using just a ladder. Dave
  8. Another "What would you do"

    Thanks for all the replies. News from the hospital today is not good. When I went up to the hospital yesterday, I saw one of the cousins that also works in the business. First thing he said was the truck looked good and did I leave an invoice at the office. The money issue was not the...
  9. Another "What would you do"

    Have a client who is also a friend. We've known each others family for over thirty years. Last Thursday the son [39yrs old] brings a new truck to the shop to get lettered. The following day he gets hit by a car in front of their place of business. In critical condition. Severe head trauma broken...
  10. Encoder Strip Problems-Help

    How dirty is it when you cleaned? Is it a dark color residue or colors [red, yellow] on the cleaning cloth. If it's real bad, I would look at some nozzle issues. Some type of over spray getting on it. Do you some kind of air source close to the printer disturbing the printing? Could you post...
  11. Roland Please Cut Where I Tell You to Cut

    Not sure about your machine, but on our sp300v, all you do is get in the menu. Scroll until you get to Enviromental Match and hit enter. This is supposed to calibrate the printer to the ambient room temp etc. I do this also, but sometimes wonder about this function. Dave
  12. Ooooo... that's a neat idea..........................

    I would be grateful, but probably not wear it. I have only taken mine off for any lengh of time twice since I got married 19 years ago. Both times because of being in the hospital. I have bent it, gotten weld splatter on it , and almost had to cut it off when my hands swelled when I used to...
  13. Ooooo... that's a neat idea..........................

    I won't know what I'm buying my wife until I go shoping. I know what she wants, but to me that just isn't giving from the heart. I tell her to go get it if she knows of something she wants. I'll buy something that's a surprise. I'd like to get her a treadmill, but don't want to start a...
  14. vinyl on glass refection issue

    Sounds to me that the glass is acting like a mirror. When the light is on, it reflects it's image in the window. Sort of like seeing the lamp in the TV screen when watching at night?????? Try a dimmer swich on the light. Adjust to the correct lighting. Dave
  15. Weeding digital print vinyl vs reg vinyl?

    I'm sure your manual says the same as mine about issues on this subject. Like I said earlier, I'm not familar with your media. We use Oracal and don't really have the same problem as you. If I'm reading you right, you have to hold the image/text down while you're pulling the weed off? If...
  16. Weeding digital print vinyl vs reg vinyl?

    Hey Colin.Glad to hear you got the 54". So what problems are you having weeding? I'm sure you're giving the print some dry time before you try weeding. Is the cut not deep enough, is it miss cutting some places ? What degree blade are you using? I'm not familar with the media you're...
  17. Any pranksters here among us?

    Back in the late 70's a friend & I were going to Mt. Morris Pa to moto cross for the weekend. The Pros were racing on Sunday and we raced on Saturday before them. He had an old International Scout that didn't have the gas door, just the gas cap on the out side. Everytime we would go up hill...
  18. Whats Everybody Do In The Off Season??

    Signage side is slowing down somewhat. Have a few sign orders, one truck to do, some banners and some wall graphics. Just enough to keep the sign guy working. I hate to tell an employee to stay home for lack of work. Seems to make me feel incompetant not having work for him. On the awards...
  19. Roland Please Cut Where I Tell You to Cut

    Couple of things first. 1. Is it miscutting on the scan or feed or both? Scan is across. Feed is front to back. 2. Are you printing/ laminating or is it just vinyl? 3. Are the images miss cut the same across the sheet? Some things to check that you have not mentioned are: 1. Pinch...
  20. Cleaning fluid question.

    I think we'll be trying the artbot formula next time we need cleaning solution. Dave
