can't have a sticky note monopoly! THE HORROR!!!!

i'd fix firefox to stop autoupdates, or switch to chrome. i'd also send an email to the versaworks support to see if they are aware of similar issues and a resolution for it. finally, it could be your switch. if it isn't moving the data properly, it could be trying to send it down the wrong...

when you engrave acrylic, you create a facet in an otherwise flat, clear surface. if you edge light a flat surface, it just passes the light through, but once the light hits the facet, it refracts from the light outward and creates the "glow" for the lettering. the clear transmits the light...

If you want to get something out of it, I'd tell him you're not interested in the company, but (depending on his financial liability) could take the assets off his hands with a small profit for him. If you know the value of everything in the shop, let him know that and offer +25% in profit for...

is that an actual Caterham, or a Locost? I'm looking at a Caterham for my mid-life crisis, but i have to get the money and stave off old age first :)

you'd use the profile made by the manufacturer? Here's one for Oracal 3676 http://www.oracal.com/icc/Mimaki_JV33-160/onyx/JV33_160S_Onyx_Orajet3676G_SS21_2x4_720.zip 3M have one as well. Avery I'm sure in their labyrinth of a website has one for theirs as well. I couldn't find one for...

Whenever I have a new Graphtec that just "acts funny", I always do a factory reset: shut down restart holding up and down (should come up with a settings menu) press the 1 key 3 times) shut down restart it will clear your condition settings (and change your command/step size settings), but...

no. there is no color calibration on the printer. if your nozzle check is clean, print the pallette chart from the test menu, and you'll see various color combinations. regardless, your RIP handles all the color that comes off your printer. if you can hit a red, you'll use your RIP to find it.

The way i recommend is using a White vinyl made for backlit applications (i almost always recommend Oracal 3850). This way, there is a white point in the vinyl for day viewing, but that same white diffuses the backlighting, allowing for non washed out graphics at night. This can be applied to...

What happens when you disconnect 1 printer, so only 1 of them is connected to one computer? It almost sounds like a communication issue, where the software gets confused and sends to the wrong port, but the data isn't right so the printer stops. If you get smoother communication with only 1...

as soon as you gradient a spot color, it is no longer a spot color (in digital printing terms). i'd grab your color, make a square of it, then run some variations on it to find the best match. Sadly, this need (the Color Atlas Generator) is the only benefit to Wasatch over other RIPs. Also...

CET, regardless of their "stumbles" out of the gate, have been running their own printers in their own wholesale printshop for years. They will be able to support the product for a long time. I'd stick with one of their "standard" offerings, but considering they will do just about any config...

if it comes back, it's probably cap and/or pump. if oyu have it happen a lot, i'd replace both.

I think you meant the HP FB700 (if not, ignore me). All 3 are good machines, the Oce is probably the highest quality imaging printer, the HP is probably the most user-intuitive. If you're looking at a 98" hybrid printer, the CET Q-series Hybrid can be made in CMYKWx2 (total of 10 heads) and add...

FedExOffice has had Closed Print Centers (CPCs) for years that produce product on everything from EDGE2s to VuTek Flatbeds. There are only about 15 of them nationwide, but they are placed to offer their biggest markets access. The rest of the stores have indoor printers (HP z6100s) and some have...

You can pick up the glue/gum erasers at Lowes and Home Depot in heir tool section as well. you use them to clean saw blades and files. If its not built up too much, you can also use cheese/tack cloth or any lint free rag and (maybe) some water. An eraser will last you years and will be worth...

Are you using the Triangle Eco-Bulk system? .10 per mL is a ridiculously good price for solvent ink, if its made well :) And i'll agree that if you are willing to shop around and do the work yourself, you can save a lot of time and money on service for your solvent printer. Heck, if you have...

Very true, but a lot of cities have local disposal of used paint and motor oil, and many of those will take your solvent waste as well. You're paying for that in your local taxes anyway. And, sadly, many users don't bother with proper waste disposal. But, to be honest, if you run your machine...

Check this: if you haven't already, take the roll and put it on a flat table. roll it back and forth to see if its got a bend in the core. if it seems to roll evenly for a few feet in both directions, try unrolling a few (5-15) feet off the roll. they should look all perfectly flat. if it looks...

www.onyxgfx.com has a download program for the software (as low as onyx 7) and a separate driver/profile download. you have to register, but that part is free.
