  1. Primed, paintable artist canvas that I can print on an HP L26500?

    I've got a customer who wants a bunch of custom made paint by numbers printed on primed artists canvas. This will just be black, wireframe art, not a full color print. I printed a sample on a couple of materials we use for gallery wrap full color canvas prints, the printing cures enough to not...
  2. Yes, people are really like that...

    Customer called this morning asking about a wrap. Got his specs, did some math, told him "We can do that for thirty two fifty." He asks about a discount for doing two vans, asked a few design questions and said he was ready to get started. Told him he would need to come by, let me get pics of...
  3. Graphtec plotter cutting bad, almost like the resolution is off.

    Our Graphtec FC-8600 plotter has started acting weird. Cutting lettering around 1", which has never been a problem, has started giving us bad results. It's almost like there are plotted points being skipped. The type of vinyl or the condition choice doesn't matter. Also, no matter what we do...
  4. HP L26500 connection issues

    We have an HP L26500 that prints beautifully but has become a beast to keep connected to the RIP computer. Currently it will print a couple of jobs, then minutes later we'll send another job, the RIP queue will say the job is printing, but the little gauge that tells you what percentage is...
  5. Graphtec FC8600 contour cuts longer than they should be

    We've developed a weird problem with out Graphtec FC8600 plotter. When we do contour cuts on decals the cuts are getting off slightly along the roll length but the roll height alignment is staying perfect. Our current job we're sending is for 10 rows of 3" circular decals. The first row is...
  6. Hp L26500 - Reinstall Printhead Errors Keep Happening.

    Our HP latex printed has developed this ugly new habit of stopping in the middle of a print job and giving us the error message to "reinstall printhead". The exact printhead is completely random. Replacing the heads hasn't stopped the problem. Cleaning the contact strips in the carriage...
  7. Is there an action or style to give me this wrinkled effect in photoshop?

    Before I spend an eternity creating art with this effect by hand in photoshop has anyone run across an "automatic' way to get something similar?

  10. Useless Graphtec FC8600 won't find registration marks

    and Graphtec doesn't have tech support, I don't care what they claim. We have an FC 8600 that was working perfectly. Finished one job, loaded the next (same material, same laminate), and it's never worked again. Nothing I've tried will make it find the registration marks. Here's what I've...
  11. Want to share your failed Before and After attempts?

    The last couple of weeks I've been a total failure. Every now and then I get a project in that has bad artwork. If I've got a little down time and the project has potential and I'm feeling inspired I will redesign the artwork without involving the customer, without being asked, and without any...

  13. Brushy scrpipty font ID

  14. Illegible engraved script font id?

    No clue. Ugly. Gonna delete it after I use it.
  15. Why aren't there sign design contests for normal signs?

    You see wraps, you see dimensional store front signs, you see big led lit monuments.....how come nobody has a contest for the kind of signs most of us make everyday? Where is the "golf tournament hole sponsor" contest? The "4x8 real estate sign" contest? The "2' x 6' birthday banner" contest...
  16. It's like money in the bank.

    Told a guy this afternoon that the illustration and design work he wanted done was going to take me 10-12 hours and offered to do it for $300 if he can wait a week. He just brought me a purchase order for $50 and said they approved this much.
  17. Why do I like Fellers?

    Because with Fellers I don't have to deal with this kind of "service" I get from another national supplier: Order small, engine turn gold leaf vinyl because I ripped two letters when weeding it for a sign and didn't have any extra in stock. Wait two days, get large engine turn gold leaf vinyl...
  18. What is this stinkin' font?

    I know I have it, I can't find it.
  19. First time on the other side of somebody doing free work

    Every year I help put on a music festival in my town. Part of my job is to handle the web design. I don't know how to do web design, I don't like it, it bores the ever loving mess out of me as bad as doing tax paperwork. This year I thought I'd found the perfect solution. I ran across a post...
