    A sad day for Leave it to Beaver fans. Lumpy was Clarence Rutherford...Wally's goofy friend, played by Frank Bank http://articles.latimes.com/2013/apr/15/local/la-me-frank-bank-20130416
  2. Edge prints along the bottom continually dropping out

    Take a look at this photo. It is occuring just along the bottom "0"'s only. I just cleaned the head and it is still doing it. Duracoat cartridges. Any idea how to stop this?
  3. has anyone else noticed this lately?

    On different forums I will be reading a thread and then one word is underlined and if I hover the mouse over it, a 3" x 3" add box opens completely unrelated to the the thread. I have seen this on my laptop and not my work computer, yet virus scans and spyware scans see nothing out of the...
  4. Mimaki? Summa? Flexi? not sure who the culprit is here

    It's really a non issue but I am curious what others think the problem is. You ever get a small order? I mean small, lets say 1" x 4" decal and they only need 8. OK you take it, charge them setup and make sure it is profitable. The Mimaki printed 10 vertical up a 54" vinyl. pretty easy...
  5. my print head keeps lifting the screens out of the capping station

    I have had this repeating issue now for some time. I do not really understand how the screens actually stay in the caps and somehow the head occassionaly lifts them out and then they fall somehere...usually in that area where the wiper is housed. Now normally I would not be to upset about this...
  6. gradient print awful

    I printed a file today that came to me as a 3mb pdf file. I opened it in acrobat and exported it out as a 150 dpi tif. Ripped it from Flexi and now that I am ready to laminate I am horrified at what I am seeing. The gradients seem to instead of feathering away to white, just end...
  7. yellow acting up again....sigh

    I had that problem with my yellow fixed about 3 months ago with a new pump and new dampers. last week the printer , jv130spII, started again with the yellow head not firing and it seems like it is an entire horizontal row of nozzles thats out. I ran a nozzle wash and it was about 90% good and...
  8. screw you Google

    Every day for the past month I have recieved a recorded call from Google wanting me to update something or other.... I have hung up everytime....but today I felt enpowered to stop this nonsense.... I pushed 1 and spoke to a live operator who hung up on me in mid sentence..... i just want to...
  9. aluminum boat discoloring issue

    I am posting 3 pics...the first is a boat we just finished for the Ministry of the Environment and even though you see this strange discoloring in the pic it was not as bad as the next 2 pics which I am working on now. I thought it was just tar or rubber from rubbing up against a dock, but...
  10. Floor graphic 10' x 20'

    Is this even doable? does laminate exist this large? Some guy wants me to source it for his wedding for use on the dance floor, but honestly, I told him it would cost an arm and a leg for one day!!

  12. here's one you gonna like

    I usually keep extra inks around, but sometimes because I am less than 10 minutes from the supplier I leave it until I need it. Anyways I realized Monday morning that I was getting low on 3 inks. The machine had not warned me so I had time, and I don't run my printer continually. I ordered a...
  13. Orange mercedes

    This wrapping of vehicles has gotten out of hand. Ironically a friend of mine in the biz was wrapping an older mercedes last week using a matte 3M orange on a black car. At first I thought how horrible it would look, but when he was done it actually was very nice with the matte look...
  14. Import tiff and signlab shuts down

    This is just plain weird.... The designer who works with me sent me a tif file that he designed and everytime I try to import it into Signlab the program immediately shuts. In fact the moment I click on the tif file before hitting import it shuts...what gives?
  15. reflective decals that somehow are not that visible on police cars

    I have a client asking for this effect. I have seen the police cars with this vinyl, but have no clue how it is done? They really are hard to see and somehow they match the paint....sort of like a ghost look anyone know how this is done?
  16. how many %$&^ masks can there be in a file?

    I am very confused about masking. I have a file and generally most these days have a mask or 2. With Flexi at least I can get the file open, (Signlab does not like it at all ) but on this particular one, I have unmasked it so far over 25 times.... I am not even sure if it is the same mask...
  17. not sure if this a win update issue

    I ran a full windows update last week after going back to a new restore point due to some trojan that infected the machine..... I know there was a warning about fonts due to the latest updates, but I have not seen anything yet. I am locally networked with my printer computer which I keep...
  18. my vinyl zapper seems to be leaving a yellow residue

    I am using the vinyl zapper on a chevy express that I lettered up 4 years ago and I am seeing a yellow residue after i finish getting off the vinyl. I ran some methyl hydrate over it and it doesn't seem to come off. It is a very faint yellow but there none the less. Could it be coming off the...
  19. picked up a nasty virus yesterday

    I can't even figure out what happened but I was surfing around from forum to forum late yesterday and then my screen starts to flicker and Boom!!! It freezes on this page with Canada word marking and this rcmp BS. You know it is fake cause they want $100.00 to free your computer....meanwhile...
  20. what process is used to engrave a street number in brick?

    I have a client asking me about this, but I am not sure if it an engraving process or a routering process.... I have not seen the sample yet, but assume it is etched and then filled with paint.... Anybody have any idea how they are done?
