A VERY nice fellow from RJ Sign Supply in St. Louis was out my way today, and stopped by The Bunker. He brought Weapons of Digital Destruction. Okay. We started off printing The 1" Circle. Moved it to the cutter, and he watched it do its thing. He no like. So, he does his thing a while...

This is for the front of my trailer, and it's gonna be BIG... Any ideas? I've got numerous bugs, but non which really looks "splattered." Know of any collections? Will probably be print/cut, but may do all cut vinyl.

Back in my "days of design" I kept everything a bit more controlled... And since those days are coming back, stuff is starting to get out of control... What do y'all like to use to keep track of stuff?

It's time, and I don't wanna mess with peeling stickers this week.

I've got a guy wants some t-shirts witha picture on 'em, and I've got a big ol' stack of 11x17 "green line" transfer paper from alpha supply . Feed one of the 8.5x11sheets to the thing, and then pressed it on a trash shirt, washed it a coupla times, doing fine. So I'm going to be printing a...

ARGH! ARGH! ARGH! ARGH! Where do I start?

Seems there are still folks running at 800x600... Probably a few 648x480... I think I'm running 1280 each on my downstairs monitors, and this widescreen is something like 1680... And I want a web site that'll be easily seen without a lot of scrolling... So, it's poll time...

Western Digital is selling an external drive that plugs into your ethernet, and is accessed over your network. Best Buy's got 'em right now for $150ish. Just installed it for my upstairs computer, and looks like it's going to be a great file sharing resource. I'm basically going to keep three...

I've got another week of hospital crap with my girlfriend (today was transfusions, tomorrow is an endoscopy, and we'll see where that goes... if you have a friend or family member who is considering a gastric bypass, just follow them around with a 2x4 and hit them whenever they try to eat -...

Got tired of screwing with the one I got from Ebay. It's okay, but I don't think I'd really use it for more than casual use. So I picked up a Micron today (already had a buncha grommets from that vendor). Built solid, looks to have closer tolerances all around. Came with a little thing of...

Talked to tech today, reset machine to factory settings, still doing it. Test image is a circle with a contour a quarter inch out, type 1 auto reg marks. Running the cutter from the LCD control panel, it finds the four marks. When I send to it from Photoprint, it gets lost. So, he says to...

Okay... This is irritating. Robo will only work in the GPGL mode. If I try to have the thing set for GPGL, I get bad craziness when I use SAI's Photoprint.

...for this roll of stuff. Put off further cutter tweaking until I got it. Seems pretty much okay. It's loaded into my graphtec, which is cutting... At what I would guesstimate is 2x the proper size... Wading through the manual... Oh yeah - this is just robo... Not even messing...

...for the Chinese banner welders on ebay?

You can't use standard razor blades in the thing. They will fit, but if you bear down to cut something, they bend, and the cut gets all wavy and stuff. The thing _is_ great for cutting magnet, but the blades they sell with it are expensive. Gonna try to put together a system where I'll be...

Looked through the books, and I can't figure out where the encoder is, so I can gently wipe it off... What else is it called?

Trying do a simple little 8" x 24" sign. I've got the pressure set right, etc., etc... I started off trying to use that Robo thing. Did an 8x24 document. Specced an 8x24 page, etc., etc... It insisted on cutting approximately 6" letters... And stopping after a few feet... Went on with that...

I've done it for years... Work in one screen, have the toolboxes and e-mail in the other... Scored some 21" trinitron CRTs in an auction, and I'm thinking of going to four screens...

Not banding (that goes in the _other_ direction...), but it looks like maybe the rollers are picking up ink or something... Several little hairlines after a really dense area. How bad's this news? Part of the heater? Roller?

Okay... Specs say 38". What happens if I stuff in a roll of 39" wide material? Just nothing printed at that end, or bad catastrophic craziness?
