  1. Fellers Catalog Drinking Game?

    I'm guessing something to the effect of everytime you see a Frank pic you have to do a shot or something? if so, I'm pretty sure everyone playing would pass out well before getting to the end of the catalog.
  2. 1-shot, or latex... for durable RED on primed HDU

    I wouldn't use 1-Shot either. Consider acrylic automotive enamel, it's intimidating sounding but we finally started using it and it works really well and is no different than spraying any other 1-part paint. Just thin it properly and spray it. Just don't breathe it in...
  3. Epson GS6000 & Mimaki JV33 comparison

    Not making me feel better...
  4. Epson GS6000 & Mimaki JV33 comparison

    I'm on the verge of it, especially after the new heads. My dealer is sending out their technician guy next week to spend a few days here to observe the problems first hand so if we need to go to Epson they can back me up. Epson's support has been good, they're very responsive, I'll say that, but...
  5. Epson GS6000 & Mimaki JV33 comparison

    Yeah, that's my next worry, talk about adding insult to injury.
  6. Epson GS6000 & Mimaki JV33 comparison

    Dunno if anybody is interested, but I thought I'd update this post a little bit since we've had the machine for about 6 months now. More or less disregard anything positive I said above about this printer. If it weren't so big I'd tie a rope to it and use it as an anchor for my boat. The new...
  7. Looking for new business- what has worked for you?

    Develop and fine tune your brand. Live your brand. Become synonymous with your brand, your industry and your product. Be top of mind in current and potential clients, always. If you don't have a brand (I don't mean a logo either), hire a marketing professional, pay them what's necessary, and...
  8. SPOTIFY invite

    I doubt you'll use Pandora anymore. I kinda' gave up on it a few months back, it's library is fairly limited (I think something like 750k songs vs. 15+ million on Spotify) so after you listen to it for a while it starts recycling old songs, you never really get to hear any new or oddball stuff...
  9. SPOTIFY invite

    Sorry, I already used up my invites or I'd send you one. Just get a paid subscription, well worth it, by far the greatest thing to happen to music in a very long time. I predict iTunes will be moving to this format in a very short time because this is going to put a real hurt on them (much more...
  10. Halloween 1959!!!!!!

    rofl no joke!
  11. How long for a design?

    Wow. What is this person's experience level and has he been employed doing design work before? If legitimately took him 5 hours to do that, that ain't good. Why did it take 5 hours? Was he not sure how to accomplish the end goal and it took him a while to figure out the steps or tools or...
  12. What went wrong !

    You said you stretched it into that area. Did you post heat it?
  13. HP Latex vs JV33??

    I'd consider the JV33 as well. I have no experience with Latex, I'm hearing a lot of positive reviews but since it's new technology I'm a little skeptical until it's been performing in the real world for a few years. It does look cool though. I can say the JV33 is a killer machine, it's sort or...
  14. What went wrong !

    Looks like a combination of not cleaning well enough or with the right cleaner down right along the edge of the rubber and maybe not post heating it? I would also suspect over-stretching it right there, and maybe not getting enough squeegee pressure right along that edge too. Really there are a...
  15. 2 days of tech, printings and the such... still have problems

    Yup, we see the same thing on our GS6000 in certain solid colors as well at 720x720. Which, btw, isn't a great resolution for the DX5 head anyway, it's much much better at 540x1080. Our JV33 prints marginally well at 720, but put it in 540x1080 and its far far better. I haven't written any...
  16. 2 days of tech, printings and the such... still have problems

    yup, that's it... Not to be the bearer of bad news, but I've never heard of anyone finding a solution to that. Thinking about it, I wonder if it has anything to do with the ink too? I'm curious if people running non-OEM ink have the problem or if it's isolated to OEM.
  17. 2 days of tech, printings and the such... still have problems

    Is your problem mostly predominant in blues? Ours wasn't too noticeable except when we were printing darker blues or greens. It was there all the time but usually it wasn't too noticeable, except solid blue... The JV33 (or the DX5 head) has eliminated the issue, for what it's worth...
  18. 2 days of tech, printings and the such... still have problems

    I assume you're printing in 8-pass bidirectional, right? This happens every 8th pass, right? It's a fairly common issue, if I recall some of the original Roland machines using the DX4 head also had the problem. We had it on our JV3, several tech support and tech visits never really solved it. I...
  19. Who is the Largest Sign Company in the US, non-Franchise?

    I always thought Pattison inched ahead of Yesco, could be wrong though...
