  1. Pat CaptivAir Out of Business

    Well not completely out of business. They were bought by Purex and they shut down the entire American Operation and fired 95% of the staff. They have only 1-2 support people in the states. Now everything is shipped from Europe and the lead times are horrible. I saw a ton of these systems at...

  4. Possible New Copyright law.

    The FCC just proposed a new type of Copyright in it's new Broadband plan. It would be voluntary, identified by a new copyright symbol. It gives the express permission to use the work for any educational work. Schools, Universities etc. The FCC can't make the law, it's only suggesting it to...

  6. So we did a few jobs for the US Navy.

    When calling the customer they were actually on a ship, docked at port. The ship operator says "Hello Sir or Madam, please be advised that this is an unsecured line" I must confess I called a few times just so i could hear the guy say that. Pretty cool that you can actually call a navy ship.

  9. Join the BBB?

    So a Sales Manager for the Local BBB came in and gave a song and dance that we should join the BBB. In the Past 2 Years we had 3 complaints filed against us. All resolved very quickly. We resolved them on our own soon as we learned about them. Said we should have an A- rating if we join...

  12. Can someone confirm that their JV33 Heaters are turning off

    I've recently noticed that our heaters are not turning off after print. Settings on the panel are set to 10 minutes standby and 20 minutes shutdown. After doing a long print run at EOD, coming back an hour later the heaters are still on. We are using Colorgate and I think it's an issue...

  14. 1 nozzel Not Firing :(

    We had a Head Strike on some Banner Material after a banner print got caught on the media guides some how. After which a Test Draw showed that many nozzles went firing, but after 2 hard cleans, all but 1 came back to life. We've since done about 5 hard cleans, and 2 head washes for 20 minutes...

    Here is a quick Color Test File that i created to test a few CMYK color values. Thought it might be of help for others so here you go.
  16. Request to Allow PDF's as attachments

    I built a simple color test file that I think people would like. It needs to be maintained as a PDF to maintain good vector CMYK. Seems sort of odd that we can't attach PDF's or EPS to postings?

  20. Hp 5500 UV, Ink comes off?

    We have an HP 5500ps with UV ink. After printing, even letting the prints dry for a day, the ink smears off with a finger touch. Is this normal? The heater seems to be broken, but seems like the ink should completely dry after a day. So this begs the question do i need some sort of special UV...
