Hi All I'm no longer doing printing full time, I've taken a new and totally different job, but I agreed to help out the place I used to work on an as available basis. I agreed to print a single sign today. We have an Agfa Anapurna Mv, 10 years old now. I fired the machine up, can get all the...

Has anyone ever purchased parts from Digipro Printers? I had a board get fried Friday on my Agfa Anapurna, and have one ordered via Digiprint (whom I have used before with good results) but it will be a week or more shipping to them. I'm totally down until I have a board in, and I hope that is...

We do a fair amount of display boards for trade shows, 38x84 inch, printed on half inch foam board. Normally, we use a cardboard base that was custom made that folds up and the board is inserted in them or occasionally spyder feet. On some other shows, we've seen boards displayed with a half...

I just wanted to say a thank you to all the folks who contribute here, whether in the area of what font is this, equipment knowledge, material knowledge, it is a tremendous resource to folks. I was having an issue last week of ink dripping on my work. Usually a static issue, but this was...

I try to not ask for font ID unless I am totally in the blind. These are some large numbers on aisle banners. They are numbered 100-1800. They predate me at the company, which is over 10 years. I cannot find any art for them. I need to make 6 additional banners with new numbers so that they...

I posted this on what the font forum, to no result, so I am hoping that all the font gurus here can point me to a font like this. This is originally done in the late 1940s and used up through the early 1960s, I feel sure it was done by someone truly of old school by hand, but I'd love to find a...

Hi Everybody. I've run into an issue with my Anapurna Mv today, that has us stopped in our tracks. Fortunately, I don't have to print anything today or even Monday. Our machine was delivered in December 2008. We rarely use the varnish. I shut the machine down normally last week, went out this...

The railroad historical society I am involved with is in the last stages of complete restoration of a fire damaged 1910 built station. The original drawings specify some porcelain enamel signs to identify various areas. I realize this would be only a small run, but these are pretty simple...

Hi All Our Epson 11880 is now almost 7 years old, but has probably been used less than most people use in a year. It gives me an error 131B now, and as far as I can tell, we have no epson dealer nearby. According to the Service Manual I found, this is the Thermistor in the Print Head Reporting...

Hi All I did a search for either a supplier or material suggestion for this, but really seemed to come up empty handed. We are doing some panels to go in a backlit curved aluminum extrusion frame. These panels are 47.875 x 91.375 inches. I had previously printed these on a sign white plexi...

Hi All I'm wondering if anyone else has run into the same problem with Onyx, mine is version 8. I struggled yesterday afternoon. I had a bunch of formatted stuff for coro, that was a listing of vendors by row, so each sign is different. I composed the signs in Indesign CS5, copied my lists out...

Forgive me if I don't describe this correctly. It appears that sometime over the past week or so, that my boss came in and did not like the way the small rubber roller that clamps the sprockets down looked, and cleaned it with denatured alcohol. This cutter is used a couple of times a month, at...

Hi All This is the second time this question has come to me in the past couple years. We have a client who wants to print a stick on for an easel sign to be easily removed without damage to the base by the average person. Naturally, everyone thinks of Post-It type notes, which I know you can...

Yeah, I know, old software, but for what we print, it is more than suitable. We only have a single printer on the RIP. And there is no money in the budget for upgrading to a newer version of Onyx. I looked on Onyx website to see if I can find an answer, but not really getting what I need. My...

Hi All I've searched around looking for suggestions on this issue on both here and Onyx's site, but found little to give me direction. I am hoping that one of you good folks has run into something similar, and can offer some words of wisdom. This issue started yesterday, and I am dead in the...

Updated 11 am Hi All: I'm hoping some of the helpful folks here have a few suggestions of what to look for here. We've had our Anapurna Mv since December 2008, and generally speaking has been a good machine. In the last few months, on occasion, I can be printing, stop to change the head...

Hi All We have a Seal 6500XL. In the broad scheme of things it is rarely used. Over the last five years, it has probably been used 10 days total. A week ago Tuesday we fired it up on a specific job, just like was done last summer, it worked fine through the day. It was shut down normally. On...

Hi All Forgive me if this has been discussed previously. We've had our Mv for four years now, and I have about 30 liters of waste ink tank materials. I've been told previously that it is considered as hazardous waste, however reading over the MSDS sheets with some other information, it does not...

Hi Everybody! I just recently joined and have been reading with great interest on the various equipment. Apologies in advance for the overlong post. We are a trade show decorator and do a fair amount of display materials, signs and all for trade shows. Mostly gatorfoam, coroplast and portable...

OK, so I missed introducing myself when I first joined, please forgive me. This looks to be a great resource site for questions, answers and opinions. I work at a trade show decorator in Western Virginia, so we are not a sign shop like many of you, but we do our fair share of work for shows...
