Wish i was closer too! It'd be nice to share knowledge and push some paint!

We can't chase them as fast as we used to!

50 ft x 250 ft high school field house. The main copy over the awning was 6 ft letters. It took a while but is a sight to behold...plus I get to add new championship wins as they happen in each sport. I got to use my daughters on this and another wall project on campus, one is a Senior there...

I dont have the seperate program only those versions of Corel. If anyone happens upon it i'd love to grab a copy of it!

Im actually running an old roland plotter as back up that stopped updates with xp so i still have that desktop up n going

Nice job! That old school perspective like they used to do on the roadside '8 sheeters' is a winner every time!

Welcome in! Good to see you took the leap! If your gonna have to deal with the headaches, you may as well have your name on the door for the applause. I've only been in the business since 1986 (probably not as long as some here) but i just turned 49 this year. I've went from brush, smalts, and...

I have lots of pics of work and progress but the only video i have is of a large mural I airbrushed in college that I remember. There may be some more, i'd have to watch them. I do have some projects coming up where i may be able to take videos of some things. I still do production old school...

Its nice to see someone actually wanting to learn wall dogging! Its surprising the amount of work I've been asked to do like this the past year, but It all comes in cycles as we've all learned. There's nothing like the permanance of lettering on the building, but the concrete formed brick is...

I have always pounced a pattern and then used a primer like Cover Stain then lettered over the top with one shot or Ronan. For Sunbrella I'd prime out with Anchors Flexi- Coat. It has more polymers to cover well and make the base flexible as awnings aren't static. I do reccomend the first coat...

I have both versions of Corel but havent loaded the texture side ( i started w 9). What OS will they run on?

I need to change all the cap tops and planned to replace the ink lines (since i have an ink drop anyway). I have new bulk ink cartridges to put in also. Any tips would be helpful too. I may need a new printhead or 2 unless someone can tell me how i should soak these.

This is an SJ540 that was converted from a dye sub machine to solvent. Never had eco solvent inks in it. At least it seems the ink changeover is going to be relatively simple.

Switching over my Roland Sol Jet 2 from solvent to Eco solvent. ( or is it possible and even worth considering to go Latex with the dx4 printhead ) Do the Roland brands really help your print heads last longer? Which brands should I strongly consider & which ones should I definitely steer...

Probably parts only, but you may be able to get it going again. I didn't have the time so I bought a new plotter. Any interest in this one for parts?
