Thanks for sharing! Some great photos.

Good question, I think you have to manually pump the ink through the filter, but have never had call to do so. Responses are in the body of the quote, sorry. Ken

If it is set up like mine (which I think it is) all valves are set to solution when the machine is off, except for the far right hand valve which is set to ink. Otherwise, all the ink drains out of the heads, and if the power is off, there is no pumping going on to replace which will set up, and...

I cannot really address the white option, but I have an Anapurna Mv machine. I've never had mine shut down for that long, but it has gone over 7-10 days without any special prep. Perhaps I've been lucky, but the procedure for long term parking would be totally flush the heads until clear...

I'll second or third or forth the motion on Signs2trade. They have been perfect in doing what they said they will. Now, UPS, has done me no favors. One banner was shipped, on time, and delayed by UPS, and did not arrive in time, a second was shipped two day air, arrived in Greensboro NC on...

Coincidentially, I just recevied a replacement Konica head for the Agfa Anapurna this morning. This is third one I've ordered from Digiprint, all with zero problems. I ordered it at close to 5 pm their time on Friday. Like you Jim, the last time I had an issue with my credit card company about...

Or perhaps Ricky Ricardo?

I also think Piedmont Plastics handles the 10mm as well, and they have a distribution point in Maryland.

One thing I ran into with window perf was the ink was almost too flexible, and did not break out of the perf holes like it should, making for a real mess, which, of course, I did not know until we actually went to put it up. I'd suggest getting a sample roll if possible, and test before I...

I'd completely agree with particleman on the Agfa belt systems. We have an 8 year old Anapurna Mv. The belt design is horrible, I spent at least 6 months of the first year trying to keep the belt from crawling so much. It was/is a royal pain, as you spend so much time adjusting it. I think with...

I think there is some natural ability that is indeed born in but it needs to be trained in the vast majority of people. Designers now seem to be barely taught how to do things. When I went to college back in the mid 1970s, it was a different world, no computers, typesetting was difficult. But...

That is indeed a sucky way to take a vacation! Good luck and Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Ken

Hi Bruce I know I am not Andy, and he is probably glad of that, but I've had the same issue, as reported earlier in a post, since January 2009, we got our machine in December 2008. It is still an occasional issue, but I've never once been able to pin it to any specific thing. It happens with...

Second on that one, one of my clients sent me a piece of art, naturally a JPEG, I had to go recreate it with Tagul. Worked fine.

Search the forums for static will turn up a number of discussions on it. I have the issues in low humidity times in the winter, got a large are humidifier and run it tends to help. My problems are with coro and plastic based stuff. The other fix that I use is go to your local hardware store and...

My father always swore by it for cleaning windshields, if you are serious about them, PM me. I also think about the Don Knotts movie "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" which talked about bloodstains on the organ keyboard that they could not remove "and they even used Bon Ami!" LOL

Just out of curiosity and my interest in old products. Bon Ami discontinued the cakes some years back, but do offer cans presently of the "original 1886 formula" is that what you are referring to, or is even the 1886 formula a modifed version?

I wish I had something new to report. This is still an occasional issue, and I still feel that it may be a very low grade static thing, only because of the material it is usually occurring with is a plastic, with static. Nothing seems to help, cleaning, cleaning, but let it sit, or shut it down...
