  1. I cant believe some people.

    Like they say, you need a license most times go to some kind of class to fish, hunt, drive a vehicle, get married and fly an airplane. But none to have kids. Dave
  2. VersaWorks Problem

    Welcome to the party. Be sure and have them send the report to the cyber space police. Dave
  3. Please help magenta not printing on SP-300v

    The first thing I would do which is the simpliest is make a rectangle box in your design program. Make it 27" x 4 or 5 inches wide. Set the color to 100% magenta. Let the machine try to pull the ink by itself. Sometimes it will self prime and all will be good. If it primes and the flow is good...
  4. How light is mesh banner material?

    I think the unfold part might mess you up. It's probably light enough, but it's not like cloth. Kind od ridged and stiff. Dave
  5. Chevron on a Roll Up Door

    I've never had any trouble with the slats. I would roll the door open to the point of creating a gap in each slat. Clean the heck out of the inside of each so the vinyl will stick. Most times it seems this area never gets cleaned properly and this is where the failure starts. After a good...
  6. Today's laugh

    Should have ask them if they take their bacon and eggs to the restaurant to get cooked. This is actually how banners were done before the print age showed up. I've done a couple of 4' x 150' banners all layered. A marketing agency carts them around to about 20 conference championship events...

  8. Simple my azz!

    Always wondered what the booth that was in our shop looked like when it was new. We purchased an old paint/ body shop and had it remodeled for our business. The paint booth had been here since the early 60's. I remember getting a 1963 Chevy biscayne painted here in 1968. When I removed the...
  9. SP-300V Cut Carriage Cable replacement guide

    You have to remove the cover over the main board in the back. Maybe 8 screws. The cable plugs into the board there. Before you remove the old cable, make a note how it's plugged in. One side of the cable has writing on it. If you plug it in backwards, all kinds of bad things might happen...
  10. SP-300V Cut Carriage Cable replacement guide

    Replacing the cable is not so hard, but there's more to the job than just the cable. I've found out that the real culprut is the two clear strips that sandwich the cable. When these become weak from constant bending, it causes the cable to kink. Also excessive build up of ink over spray on...

    1. Pack some clothes. Maybe enough for about 20 yrs. Depending on your age. 2. Google map directions to Wheeling, WV. 3. Bring a blank Certified Check with a proven line of credit. 4. Make check payable to me. You're now in the sign business. Easier than you think. dave

  14. Is Today Monday?

    Pulled into the parking lot this morning and the building looked kind of different. "Look Mom, no down spouts" Some bastards stole them overnight. Checked with some businesses across the street about their security cameras. Seems no one has any. Time to replace with PVC or hook 220v to...
  15. Who make trophies?

    We do, but not a MM and far from Texas. There is a difference between prices being raised and "jacked up". Sometimes we jack up the price for a rush order, but raise the prices when our suppliers raise theirs. Dave
  16. Outside Pinch Roller

    Don't know what size your printer is, but on the sp300v, all you have to do is remove the c-clip from one side of the "axle", remove the axle and the roller will come out. Be careful not to lose the two little washers located between the roller and the housing. they act as spacers and will need...

    I vote you take away 2000 Welcome from PA .......... as a penalty.
  18. color trace

    Go to View/ drop down/ go to tool Bars. It has the trace function there. I guess this is your question. Dave
  19. bar table printing?

    We printed the name of a Pizza shop here in town for a contractor. He was making small tables that looked like the box they put the pizza in. Big decal on the table top, four small ones on each side. Used Oracal 3165 without any lam. After he had them done, he painted the tables white and...
  20. Modified Plumbers Logo

    Tiki nailed it for me. Looks good. Send him money and go with it. Does anyone else think the hand and wrench look like it's ready club someone? Looks a little threatening to me. Dave
