Would be nice if someone could explain some options for alternative or bulk ink for a VJ 1204. I was actually going to ask if there was anything useful that could be done with old empty cartridges. For some reason, I have never been able to make myself throw them away. I have hundreds of them...

I haven't. All i have at home is grey goose. I may stop and buy some smirnoff to try :) Can't use the goose for purposes like this :) Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it. jbennett

COuld the clearstar liquid be used over the top of a sign with cut vinyl, or would the edges cause issues? Thanks all for so much help!. jbennett

OK. I need a little help. I was called about a month ago to come take down a sub-division sign that had been spray painted on by either some kids or some very uneducated riff-raff. They sprayed some words on both sides of the 4' x 6" aluminum faces. I tried using different chemicals to see if I...

Thanks Bob, this is good to know and gives me some confidence!. jbennett

I may try that, but I am so afraid my colors will not be the greatest match. I so dont want it to stand out anymore than it has to. jbennett

I did a dumb one this weekend. Did several printed banners and the put Saturday for the day of the week instead of Friday. It is for a local civic/charity event and I am more or less "helping". The day of the week is at the beginning of a 3 inch red bar on the top of the 12 foot banners. I dont...

Was wanting to try doing a helmet. I experimented with the cheap race car type Mactac M-Print and it definitely is not going to happen. Any recommendations on somewhere to go buy the materials discussed earlier in this thread in very short quantities. All my normal suppliers don't usually sell a...

Can anyone tell me the best place to buy a 3' X 6' lightbox with raised white faces near the TN area? Not the most experienced when it comes to lightbox procurement as I have aonly lettered existing units in the past. All help is appreciated. jbennett

I didnt too much care for the lens flare either. I did however like the flying logo, but only once. Maybe you could use the concept to create a splash screen, and leave it stationary on other screens. jbennett

Care to share the tag line? Is he in the "poopie" biz? jbennett

I agree with everything you are saying weaselboogie, but my experiences show that if they have to be "dunned" for the money, they usually get mad at YOU or claim many moons after that the work was somehow sub-par. How is that for logic? "I owe this guy money, boy he makes me angry". Makes no sense!!

Most of the people that want to use the "grab now pay whenever I feel like it or am guilted into it" methods are ablivious to signs that say things like "Payment due in full upon reciept of product". Tey feel that applies to everyone else and they are "special". With hard economic times I am...

Maybe so , but I have to admit designing something for my own business use is always by far the toughest!! jbennett

You are a class-act for your explanation. I do try to respect rules on here. It does make me feel good knowing that it was deleted with a "heavy heart". Id never think you had ill intent toward anyone Bigdawg. I just struggle with political correctness every day. jbennett

Being offended has everything to do with it! It is the emotions from "being offended" that breed the hostility. I agree the hostility is maybe more of the problem, but the root cause is the emotions stirred in someone when they have an opposing view to some issue they are passionate about...

Yeah, a lot of setup involved for that amount. I am happily getting going into screen printing and have a good way of keeping my setup cost low for short run projects; however, I have to gain some additional experience before I feel comfortable doing jobs for the public yet. Have done a few...

I started writing a lengthy post on this one and decided better. All I can say is that sign man signs has my sympathy for his loss. I do get extremely frustrated when things are censored. I can look away, or choose to disagree. It isnt like he was posting porn or something!! Rules to protect...

Not sure, but I think he means 5 different apparel items(i.e. , t-shirts, sweat shirts, jackets, etc...) and not 5-10 pieces of a single item, but what do I know? I'm sure he can elaborate. jbennett

No, not much to add. I will have to say, that I would do a little more calculating. I do Race car wraps now typically on 30" material. When something can be done in pieces, there isn't as much of a need for as large of a printer as you might think. Starting out, I was sure that I needed a 54". I...
