  1. Any hints on moving a Falcon Jr?

    It's gotta go up a straight flight of stairs, and then a 45 minute van ride into an office in my girlfriend's dad's warehouse.
  2. I think I have a solution to drying Falcon Jrs...

    At least for the ones that are plugged directly into the parallel port on XP machines. There's also a workaround for network shared printers and USB printers, but I need to hunt it down... Make yourself a CMYK job that takes up a quarter inch or a half inch of material. Print it to a file...
  3. How to make your printer perk right up...

    Order a refurb kit for your Falcon Jr., after you get tired of looking at funky weirdness from letting the thing sit too long over the winter. After you have the thing, and have resigned yourself to taking everything apart, the printer will perk right up.
  4. Soaking The Print Heads

    What do you use for a cleaning cloth? And you just take hemostats or something and slide it back to the capping station? Or are some of you guys taking the sheet metal off the thing once a week?
  5. Well, if you don't use these things...

    Not walking down to the basement a whole heckuva lot has taken a toll. I'm ordering a refurb kit from imprintech... So y'all had better get ready for a buncha stupid questions. You know, it'd be nice to replace EVERY one of these damn screws with finger screws, as often as one needs to take...
  6. Determining ink usage?

    I'm wondering if there is a way to find out how much ink was used for a job? My Epson's stuff will tell me down to 0.01ml how much gets used... And since you know you've got 220ml in a cart, and that they cost you $60 a pop, if you can figure out how much you're spraying, you could figure a...
  7. Stupid flexi question...

    Is there a way to convert every "corner" in an object to a more rounded curve without going through and doing them individually? And screwing up the drawing in the process? It's probably painfully obvious... I've got some art that's kinda pointy here...
  8. BACA Logo?

    Anyone know where I can score an image for Bikers Against Child Abuse? Told a friend who is active in that group that I might be able to whip up a couple of things for him.
  9. Are there any small solvent machines?

    Have an idea around something I'd like to do, but I'd basically just be running 15" material at the most. Any smaller systems?
  10. Falcon Jr. suddenly decides to do weird stuff...

    Okay - it's always loaded media by advancing a little, checking the edges, and then that's more or less it. Now the sucker's spooling out about 6' or so, then reeling it back - and since the reel-back bit doesn't have a motorized takeup, I've gotta help it. The shift-advance/rewind control...
  11. Just bought a nice cutting mat from Jack D....

    Any hints as to de-memorying it when I take it from the box later today and slap it down on my new 4x8 table?
  12. Daige EZ Glide Laminator?

    http://www.macroenter.com/EZ_Glide_Applicator_55_coating_width_p/ezg55-me.htm Any of you guys every see/try one of these?
  13. First in, first out? Not!

    Queued up a coupla jobs. Did the large/complex one first. Then a set of magnets. Just checked, and the magnets printed first (I guess they processed/ripped first), and the other thing is about halfway done... Wild.
  14. Mutoh cutter blades?

    While going through the stuff I didn't use that was included in the box o' stuff that I got with my Falcon Jr., I found a small box with what looks to be two new cutter blades and a spring. Now, I know this isn't a cutter, so I'm guessing that they may have just been dumped in because the box...
  15. What all dissolves Eco-Ultra...

    ...anyway? I'm mostly just wondering what kind of conditions I can stick stuff in without having to overly worry about laminating... i.e., am I going to need to worry about janitorial staff and floor cleaners for wall mounted art, etc.?
  16. Stupid CE-5000-120 question...

    Okay. Tell me about this "quality" setting... I've poked around in the manual, backwards, forwards, etc., etc., and I _know_ it'll set for either Quality 1 or Quality 2. Thing is, I'll be danged if I can figure out where it tells me what the difference is. Which one is "better" quality? My...
  17. Large format scanners?

    Place I used to work had a 36" xerox blueprint scanner. Anyone know an inexpensive solution for occasional (very occasional) large scans, which I'd really rather not involve a 50 mile drive in...
  18. Top for light box

    Well, I've got need for a light box, so I'm off to Home Depot... Do y'all think I should use glass or plexi? I'll probably be cutting on it some...
  19. cad-type welding?

    The one thing I liked about Autocad was that I could darn near start with a box, and then by doing arcs, joining/welding, and then cutting stuff that I didn't need, make darn near anything... I need some circles with a square on top of them, but I don't need the cuts from the circles going...
  20. Need fast help - ink density for glossy paper?

    Well, I can tell you that everything I've done before is too high - not drying all that fast. If you're running glossy photo paper, what do you set it at? Using a generic profile for the paper from Intellicoat, but POS Photoprint defaults to 100 across the board... Started out at 85 (where I...
