I need to buy a set of the protective shrouds that cover the drive wheels at either end of the gantry. Does anyone know somewhere I could find these? I've sent emails to the manufacturer in China with no response. And the sketchy imported we bought it from is no longer around. The machine works...

We've been really happy with this unit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L2L3OXQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 We bought it to keep the humidity up for our UV and aqueous printers. It's quiet and cranks out the humidity. Ours is fed by a continuous R.O. filtered water...

This has many of the characteristics of a classic Caslon, probably Caslon #3.

Saving out of AI as a .pdf often creates issues, including seemingly arbitrary grouping and nesting (often several layers of this mess), and dividing lines of text into multiple individual segments of letters. AI's inconsistent success embedding raster images can also come into play. In our AI...

We have an Epilog Fusion M2 75watt. It's been a great machine. We're looking at adding a Fusion Pro 48 dual-laser, so we're obviously happy with Epilog. If you're going to be cutting substrates >1/4", I'd suggest getting the additional 4" lens. And a pin table makes it a lot easier to avoid...

We've run out of our supply of plastic to make PPE to donate, so we're looking at other things we might do. We have a thermovacuum molding machine (Formech 450DT) and have thought about using it to make face masks out of vacuum filter bags. I've seen references online to using thermovacuum...

Our 335 has been a real workhorse for us. One caveat: our 335 is particularly sensitive to 3rd party substrates. We run them successfully, but are careful to babysit them through the feed process.

Our Mutoh is doing something similar. Mutoh tech support told us it is likely one of two ribbon cables. We've ordered them (they were <$35 on Amazon), and hope their replacement fixes the issue.

You cannot actually delete any part of a bitmap image within Illustrator. Bitmaps placed in Illustrator can be scaled. They can be "cropped" or masked using the Clipping Mask function, but all the bitmap data is retained, which can result in file size bloat. Editing the bitmap in a pixel editing...

If you're going to be moving up to larger printers (particularly anything that heat sets, like a latex printer for vehicle wraps), you'll want to make sure you have adequate power. Shouldn't be an issue in Ireland, as I believe the standard there is 230V, unlike the 110V norm in the U.S. For...

We're looking to replace our Mutoh Valuejet with a unit that offers a larger print size and runs off bottled ink. The GCC JF-240UV appears to fit the bill. We played with one at a recent ISA show, and were pleased with the performance and capabilities, but we can't find much in the way of...

Basic physics prevent using electronic devices to proof analog colors accurately. Electronic devices employ "emissive" color -- light projected directly to the viewer's eye. Final products (signs, prints, garments, etc.) are seen by observing "reflected" color -- light bounced off a surface...

We have an Eastsign. Great price. Well made. In our educational environment, students new to the machine have great difficulty getting consistent results. Critical projects require an experienced operator. I wish we'd purchased a more forgiving device. In a production environment with operators...

We have been happy with our HP335. It's hard to beat the price for a latex ink printer in that size range. I agree with "2CT Media's" comment: a 365 is a more capable machine if you have the floorspace and budget. And they are dead right about the laminator -- buy the best laminator you can --...

Superior_Adam is right on. Getting resin build-up to behave correctly on our Mutoh UV printer requires differentiated resins and curing methodology (including times) depending on the substrate. What works best for one substrate rarely works well (or at all) for another. Lots of testing and...

These are definitely letters created manually, not a typeface. The letterforms are somewhat evocative of Davida Bold (available in a number of type libraries, including VGC and Letraset during the seventies and eighties).
