Firmware was up to date. Everything but my 'email server' passes connection test, to include the connectivity test to the Printer Data Sharing service oddly enough.
Trying to get my printer connected to PrintOS.
Printos.com asks for printer ID.
Go to Settings > Setup > Printer Data Sharing Agreement > Warranty Activation and Services
But after it 'thinks' for a minute I get this error....
Printer is on the network, I can see it in Flexi, all network...
Interesting designing in RGB.
For most of this classic arcade stuff (until you get into the 90s) it's generally limited color screen printed that I try to match by sampling with my Nix Mini to get a close Pantone reading and then break out the swatch book to confirm or better match.
That said, I...
vector was spot from the pantone .ase pallet imported into illustrator.
photoshop on the other hand was converted lab color since i originally couldnt get the ase to show up in photoshop but i not have it working. have to run a new test with the new colors after changing render intent settings...
Newbie color management questions.
Pretty happy with how my 310 repairs have turned out and I'm starting to print.
In order to gang everything up with overlaps I've brought all my art into illustrator, CMYK color mode.
In that file I have some vector art created in illustrator and some...
Worth a shot. Filled it out. We'll see what happens.
On the other end of the spectrum, Drytac send me a big sample of their leather and 15 feet of optitac facemount film.. all for the price of shipping. Shipped yesterday.
Still looking for a sample of Hexis material. Hexis told me to call...
As title states.
Trying to see what this film looks like in person.
Called Hexis.. they said call distributors.
Called 6 distributors on thier US list, nobody has a sample. Metrorestyling only sells the whole roll.
Not dropping $1300 on a roll I can't see first.
If anyone has a small piece of...
I tried either Hexis or Viviid (I forget) but the grain was too large. Each cell was closer to 1/4" and the original grain is really small.. without zooming in on it almost looks like a pebble texture.
Drytac is sending me a sample and another forum member is sending me a sample of the 3M stuff...
Parting out HP Latex 360.
Was taken out of service due to a shorted power supply.
Machine is dirty but will clean the parts best I can as I pull them.
I have no info on the life of this printer as I bought it for parts for my 310.
Parts are obviously untested but Ive used the scan axis motor and...
Looking for someone who has a roll of this and wouldnt mind selling and sending me a foot of it so I can test to see if it gets close to matching an existing project texture from 20 years ago.
I'm in Phoenix and would appreciate this greatly.
Thanks.
Yeah, we'll see what happens with the 3M stuff.. guy there is talking to purchasing and seeing what they can make happen. honeslty i'd be happy with an 8"x10" sample to test on a print.
I just wish I didn't have to commit to a whole role of it.
Reached out to drytac today and they got back to...
New to large format printing. Have an HP 310 latex. Since I'm new to getting into all this I don't have a distributor persay. I head over to my local Montroy for stuff but don't yet have an 'account' so getting samples might be tricky.
I'm desperately looking for a textured overlam (or textured...
well this one was more of a project for the hell of it but now that I got it cleaned up and need maybe bunch of parts I don't think it's worth it at all.
f i want/need foil stickers I'll just farm them out.
I might end up just taking it to the scrap yard this weekend and make a few bucks on...
When I spoke to tech support the 'expiration' is more about how much ribbon is left on the roll. The printer writes to the chip so when you change the ribbon you change the chip... I can't imagine someone would have let an old chip when replacing the ribbon though which is why I feel like this...
Picked up an old Summa DC3 thermal printer that was sititng in a covered garage for many years for free. Cleaned it up to see if I could get it running for the hell of it. it. Was. Filthy.
Unfortunately guy didn't have the dongle or software so even after getting through a bunch of errors I...
thanks. Spoke to tech support over there. very helpful!
had to order a couple of small parts for which should come this week. Was hoping maybe had one of these in mothballs or carts gathering dust they'd rather not just toss.
Anyone have parts for a DC3 laying around.
I picked one up free with a few ribbons and trying to get it running for the hell of it.
Looks like it may need something related to the print head replaced when looking form the back.. not entirely sure yet.
Not looking to spend a lot but if you...
