I am about to buy an HP 800 - wanted to make sure I am not about to screw up. LOL. What are your thoughts about the 800 vs the UV Mimaki? I have had mimaki printers for 11 years, and when researching the newest printers, the HP800 really appealed to me. I'm tired of breathing in solvents all...

Good lord, $2600 for a freaking print head? ANy sources out there for print heads? Had a head strike and cant recover an area in magenta and it's leaving banding. I can print 12 pass or higher and its almost acceptable, but completely slows my productivity. Won't lie, i really hate how epson...

Does this Look familiar? Had to trace it, as it was a photo of a visor with the letter embroidered on it... Im going to be so mad when someone points out that it's really common :/

Just need to vent. Came in this morning, and couldnt access files on my rip computer. Go over to the pc, and it looks different. I didnt think anything of it, until i noticed Rasterlink wasnt open, and once opened it didnt see my printer. So, i uninstall printer, and try to detect again...

on the hardware side, I can do nothing but rave about the jv300 - coming from the jv33, its familiar enough tha I feel confident I can maintain it for the long haul... but wow is the speed nice. Rasterlink 6 however, is not an improvement so far. What I used to be able to do with three...

So, printing 18oz blockout banner material..> This roll has been rolled up and ive used it some over the last year... load it up and print this banner. I can see this the first few feet from grabbing the roll maybe... but again and again for ten feet? No sir, im calling a priest LOL

So, I pulled the trigger and am getting a new JV300-160 couldnt be happier, but have my jv33-130 sitting here that's still a productive workhorse... I just need the wider prints and faster production (im tired of printing all night). I have been thinking about using the jv300 for only banners...

I'm possibly going to make the plunge and grab another wide format printer. My JV-33 is getting long in the tooth, and honestly I could use a 64" or wider printer instead of my 54" Now, here's where I am torn. Should I get another solvent printer, or grab a latex? Plus for latex - My...

This started a year ago. I got this error, let the machine sit, and eventually it would come back on. After a few weeks of getting this error ever few days, I replaced the head cable, and it ran fine until now. 10 days ago, I got this error, and after leaving it unplugged overnight it came...

Today I was out on an install and let the printer run while I was gone. I get a phone call from someone here at the shop, and he's asking me what to do after putting in a new ink cartridge. (you know, the whole, push enter, then push remote thing) .... I come back and the banners ive printed...

Over the last week, I would come in and see a error 205 on the machine, reboot and goes away. Today it didnt go away. I ordered and replaced the cables to the print head, as seen in the pic. Also looked around and saw a thread where someone had this issue and blew fuses - are those the fuses...

In the last year, I drastically downsized my shop. Its just me and 2 other people now. Back when I had 2 sellers and 3-4 people in production, signvox made a lot of sense. Now I am really the only person writing invoices, and its easy to keep track of everything going on in the shop. I was...

Strange thing - seems like the heater forgets to shut off after it reaches the desired temperature. Yesterday it happened and the post heater got HOT... today the pre-heat got to 66 degrees before I realized the machine should be printing but was not. It has happened on user type 1 and 2. The...

Ok, i admit i kinda laughed when i saw it.... http://www.takepart.com/article/2013/09/08/womens-rights-violence-advertising This is quite possibly the most offensive truck decal ever created. (Photo: Screengrab/KWTX)

Anyone know this one? I got an eps and it looked good until it was time to blow it up to put on a van, then i realize its a live trace. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! -Pete

It's almost the end of the year, so you know what that means... renewal of business licenses for every town we put up signs in. Every year i get mad.. it's an absolute crock that I need a license in every town i go through, since our "city" is nothing but a bunch of suburbs at every street...

Just heard 3m has discontinued ij10 - has anyone else heard this? It might not be the best vinyl out there but it does have its uses. Looks like I will have to find a substitute for those el cheapo coroplast jobs.

GRRRR. Spent a ton of money updating to cs6 less than a year ago, didn't like the idea of cloud and a subscription... guess it finally caught me. Went to open a .eps file, and the joyous message that can't open file, was created by a newer version popped up. I HATE YOU ADOBE! that is all.

Don't know if anyone else noticed, but at some point in the last year, the adhesive on ij-35C has changed from straight grooves on the back to small crosshatch. I thought i was going nuts, and checked on some scrap in the back of the shop, and sure enough - it's different. I'm sure it makes...

this one looked like it would be an easy one. Nope. Anyone got an idea? Whatthefont doesnt have a match.... any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks! -Pete
