We do a fair amount of display boards for trade shows, 38x84 inch, printed on half inch foam board. Normally, we use a cardboard base that was custom made that folds up and the board is inserted in them or occasionally spyder feet. On some other shows, we've seen boards displayed with a half...

I ran into a similar issue with our flatbed, stuff was printing off dimensions the long way, I think it was short, which if you are making stuff to fit inside aluminum extrusion stuff is not a good thing. Nothing was helpful in the material we had, so finally started exploring Onyx and found...

I just recently starting using this, I print directly on it, it seems both sides are the same to me. I get it from Piedmont Plastics, and it is called "Bubble-X". Prints beautifully, much stronger than regular coro, the surface is sort of like a sand finish, but nice for color, does not seem to...

We just use a large size humidifier that has two several gallon tanks, parked right next to the printer. In our case, it is usually necessary in the driest of winter days. Just a standard grade humidifier, but the large tanks allow for ease of refilling. I have a humidifer in my HVAC at home...

Welcome Paul and we will miss you Fred. I know, not gone, and not forgotten! Best wishes for you both! Ken

Even with the issue solved, this technique is also one that I've had to use more than a few times. In addition, having stuff done with gradients and masks in late or newer version of Illustrator or InDesign will generate a file that is not kind to RIP. I just had one job in of 30 different signs...

I've also run into an incomplete cure over the past year on my Mv. Since I am the only person who runs the machine, it is not from flushing out the heads. I've had to switch to run my lamps at high power on everything to get proper cure. It does seem to be mainly the cyan and black that are...

I'd agree. I believe the systems on any specific refub are the system that model of Mac initially came with, not any upgraded versions. I've bought several and had zero problems, and will do the same for my next one. Ken Miller

I'm bumping this thread as I've begun to run into the same issue, but mine is with the yellow being contaminated with the light cyan. Any ideas? Best Ken Miller

Indeed. That thought at least goes back to my college days in the mid 1970s, when studying hand lettering, my aunt said "don't you just push a button?" Yeah, I was not what I call a happy camper on that one! It is simpler in some ways today, but vastly more complex in many ways. Ken Miller

I agree here. I learned Illustrator from the beginning, actually Illustrator .987 (I think) pre-release version, then version 1, then 88. I completely agree that Corel felt clunky to me, one of my friends did all his stuff in Corel for years, then got forced to use Illustrator at work, now he...

The logo itself is available on Brands of the world as Illustrator file Ken Miller

Don't have it handy on this machine, but it looks similar to USAAF Stencil, I also have, on the computer at home some other military style stencils, which might be it as well. That actually looks more like a 2 than a 5. Ken Miller

What a great story! Thanks for sharing. It does help restore faith in humanity! Ken Miller

When I am looking for stuff like this, I always go first to Fasteners for Retail. www.ffr.com They seem to have all kinds of devices like this. Good luck Ken Miller

I don't know if this will be of any help to you. We have an Anapurna Mv which was purchased in December 2008. It is kind of the predecessor of the Mw and, I believe, very similar in construction. Ours has been a very decent machine, no major issues, short of replacement of two print heads...

I also did the scrape and clean version on our old belt and never really realized how much it was plugged until we replaced it. You have to remember that ink is also getting into the vacuum holes and plugging them, and the only way to clear that is a fine drill bit or pin and care. We finally...

There was a discussion on this some time back, and one of our members had said they have the ability to provide them, but I cannot find the post at the moment. I PM'd them. but never got a response. We use them frequently, they are called Hoffa Bases. They are die cut black faced cardboard. We...

What it was in this case, was there was ink blown into the tank on the back of the carriage, near the air pressure switch used when flushing the heads. Below that is a silver tank, with a drain valve underneath. I opened the valve and nothing came out. However, I was not convince and we took the...

We have an Mv from 2008. I've not had any contact with Agfa in at least three years, so I know nothing about any other ink set. Would the Gen 5 run in my machine? Don't know. The varnish was a complete waste, maybe used it twice, and that was mostly experimental. Ken
