  1. DIY Printhead Replacement

    Here is what I learned about DIY head replacement. DO NOT DO IT! Mechanically, the replacement is easy. Trying to get a decent print is something else. Been battling it since Wednesday. Let that sink in. When you order a printhead they will gladly take your money then send you the...
  2. Graphtec Flexi Cloud Perf Cut

    I'm trying to help the campus print shop get perf cutting set up on their Graphtec FC9000. Make a shape, select it, click on contour cut, then select the gray PerfCut swatch. Everything is okay until I go to edit the settings in Flexi, but there are no settings to edit in Flexi. Cut menu...
  3. VFW Logo

    Anyone know where I can find the new recolored VFW logo in vector format?(see below). Or do I need to apply to the VFW to get a conditional use permit to access decent artwork? Friend is working with a local post and asked if I could print it for an 8' x 8' sign. Everything I found so far is...
  4. FlexCut Weirdness

    Model: Summa D140R Software: FlexiSign Pro 12.x Issue: During FlexCut plotter cuts roughly 2/3rd of the job, stops then screen on plotter shows Panel 1. Otherwise FlexCut works well. 1) Size of job makes no difference. 10 pieces or 50 it does the exact same thing. A) FlexCut on or off at...
  5. Ink Leaking/Bypassing

    Got a weird one. This started after printing a trailer wrap if that's a clue. During auto clean or manual clean ink comes out of this plastic piece.(see arrow). It is below and to the left of the wiper blade. There are two holes in it (covered in ink in the photo). Drain lines from capping...
  6. Orajet 3105HT

    I searched the forum but didn't find an answer. 3105HT is a calendared product but the spec sheet calls out cast laminate like 290, 290F, 293. Can I use Arlon 3220 which I have in stock? (laminate recommendations came from Fellers catalog) Trying to minimize the investment for things I don't...

    Just posted final grades for the semester.:rock-n-roll:
  8. Micro Dot for Wall Lettering or..?

    Has anyone used the Micro Dot from Big Fish for wall lettering? Client wants their logo put on an office wall. Size: 36" x 76". Color: white. Prefer to use the Micro Dot since it's easy to install and won't damage the surface when removed. For paint testing purposes I made a comp with...
  9. G-Mail Alternative

    To be clear I'm not tech savvy when it comes to this kind of thing. Might be something obvious that I already have and will work. Gmail has decided to go subscription and their "free" option looks difficult to get. Sign up on a waiting list, wait for the overlords to contact you, blah blah...
  10. Acorn Sign Graphics

    Anybody hear of this shop? I was talking to a supplier yesterday and she said Acorn closed abruptly. Couldn't stay afloat after a client wasn't paying a half-million dollar invoice. 43 people out of work. Would like to know more details. Especially the numbers side of it.
  11. Office Nameplate

    I need some help locating this style of nameplate. I didn't do the original install and there are no markings on the existing. Looked high and low, checked with manufacturers and didn't find anything. Probably because they are decades old. They were on the wall in 1984 when I worked there so....
  12. Contour Cutting Window Perf

    Yes, I did a search and scoured through what popped up. Unless I missed it I didn't see any "silver bullet" fix. Any tips or tricks for contour cutting 50/50 window perf with a D140? Printer is a Mutoh. Software is Flexi Pro. Plotter would read most of the marks then Digitize Point popped...
  13. Be careful which company you recommend

    TLDR version: I asked the forum members to recommend a top drawer place to buy some very specific sign panels. I went with the highly recommended company. This morning I had to send an email threatening said company with potential legal action. They have managed to redefine the word...
  14. Panels not centering on media

    I've been through all the menus and clicked center on media in the general tab and again in the panels tab. Still prints tight to the right margin. I prefer to have it centered then if it skews a bit when laminating the panels are still usable. It's been a while printing wraps but I don't...
  15. Suggestions Wholesale screen print T-Shirts

    I'm looking for a reliable to the trade screen printer for t-shirts.
  16. Banner Stand

    Client wants to match this(see attached photo) but in a smaller size of 12" x 30". New spec also calls for graphic to be 2.5' from the floor. I've had no luck trying to find the exact unit so figured one of the forum members might know. Whatever I get the extrusions will have to be trimmed down.
  17. Canvas for Eco-Solvent

    Tried the search function and found everything but what I needed. So what canvas is everyone running on their eco-solvent printer? I'm currently running a Mutoh 1624x.
  18. Font Help Need help with a better match.

    Tried several different identification programs. Filmotype Harvard is very close but no cookie.
  19. VHB tape and new paint formulas

    Tried searching and only found that VHB won't stick to some paints. Wondering if there is a go to VHB or use tape and Lexel? I'm putting up flat mount Sintra letters in an office. Hate to have them "air freight" off the wall a couple days after installation.
  20. Rib boat lettering

    Client called about putting registration letters on a rib boat. Said he wanted paint since he heard vinyl didn't last. I told him I've only worked on two in thirty years and the first one over twenty years ago was stenciled and the one I did last year was cast vinyl. No call backs on the cast...
