  1. A struggle ,,,SC-500

    try to navigate to the menu item, Env_Match, perform the function, then do the calibrations for the linear encoder strip. Usually snaps it back in for me. Thx
  2. Things to make your kids from work?

    3" core tubes make great bazookas/mortars for the 4th fireworks!
  3. Box Truck Panels don't line up

    We had some alignment issues that we resolved during the install but I later found out we needed to replace a few pinch rollers- the media was skewing as it rolled out of the machine. One was worn out and slowly steering the media to the right side of the machine. This caused the installed...
  4. Anyone using Roland ColorRip?

    I recently lost my Rip Server and had to reinstall the older ColorRip software. We had a great profile on there for PCM-WMWV ( a water resist white matte vinyl) and evidently I downloaded it after the initial install because it is not one of the canned profiles. Does anyone have this profile...
  5. In honor of a great man! My Grandpa

    Sorry to hear about this BigFish. How lucky to have had him in your life for so long. I lost all mine early on. I recently found the speeding ticket my grandpa wrote me in 1976. I was written up for excessive speeding in the garage while "piloting" a properly finned '60 T-bird. Brought a...
  6. Signabond friendly adhesives?

    Hello all! I produced a standee on signabond and am having a devil of a time finding an adhesive that will bond well with the smooth surface. The folding easel (made of signabond as well) I made is attached via a metal hinge and was applied with gorilla glue and screws. That has worked OK and...
  7. what does FPO mean???

    I forgot to add that in most cases when an Ad Agency sent over a Quark Express or Pagemaker file on 44mb Syquest (remember those?) with some comps that had FPOs marked up on them, we'd normally get either slides or 4x5 transparencies with the job that we'd scan and crop EXACTLY like the FPO...
  8. what does FPO mean???

    "For Position Only". Back in the day when your transparencies were out at the Service Bureau for drum scanning, the layout artist would insert a low res image into a layout and mark it FPO. This would let everyone know that a higher resolution replacement was in the works. This would also...
  9. Pinstriper video short...

    I stumbled upon this on a car site I frequent. Nicely presented in my opinion... http://vimeo.com/24882005
  10. 10:45pm are you still working ?

    I left here @ 7:30pm to go to a scout function with my son. Went home after that and spent time with my other 3 kids. Put them to bed, spent enough time with my wife to see how the day went and got back in here about 11:30pm. It's 12:55am now and I could be here all night if I wanted to. My...
  11. Apple vs. PC poll

    <<I prefer macs for design and layout. The PCs are for ripping. >>> That's me!
  12. anyone here deal with fellers?

    Rushworks, Allsquare is actually in the Greenville/Spartanburg area of SC. I think I listed them in NC. Ryan, their Roland tech, came down a few weeks ago and got my old SC540 Roland back in primo form. I'd post their web address and # but not sure if that is a violation of the rules...
  13. anyone here deal with fellers?

    I dealt with them and it was great until there was an issue with a return. Frankie got involved and that's when it got ugly. As far as I'm concerned, they can climb my leg and have a ball. I think there was more humility when they were on their way up, now that they have "arrived" we'll...
  14. wrinkles in canvas; Magiclee from Fellers

    yes, after seeing the pic, it looks like defective rolls. Both were probably in the same run and lot #. It almost looks like the rolls got wet or absorbed too much moisture in a "climate controlled warehouse"....
  15. wrinkles in canvas; Magiclee from Fellers

    try this- on the back of the machine, take the canvas and roll out a few feet so there is no tension as it is pulled thru the printer. You might want to try putting a few clamps on the edges of the material to add some weight and "tug" in the front as the printed material rolls out. I'd also...
