  2. print looks like it is streaking or washed out

    My jv3 130spoII is now 4 yeaers old. Outside of changing the capping station I have not replaced any other parts. Lately when printing larger graphics that have larger areas of spot colours can notice what can only be described as a streaking or washing out of colour. I don't see it all the...
  3. I'm purging.....

    I got the bug in me this morning to come to work and basically try and toss everything out that juts sits. I can't believe the build up of scrap materials and offcuts, it's nuts. I could fill 3 - 4 yard containers with crap, but even then I second guess myself. I paid for it, it's mine, I...
  4. just got the new Seal 54 EL laminator

    I don't think there are to many of these out in the marketplace yet. I saw the price and knew it was going to work for me. I just ran 4- 36" x 54" prints pretty effortlessy and they look great. I used the BS for about a year but I knew that to laminate larger items I couldn't quite get...

    I wonder how often you guys experience your hosting company making email and web pages unavailable? Is it a common thing for the sites to go down? I think this may be the second time this year that customers call me telling me that their e-mails to me are getting bounced back.

  19. always good to have a nice thick backing liner

    Here look at these two pics. This was a new material promoted to me as having 90lb backing liner.....not. Yesterday it was a bit humid and rained a bit but I have never seen digital vinyl do this. Was a nightmare to laminate as the liner seemed to absorb far to much moisture. The vinyl I...
  20. any Summa d-140 with opus users in here?

    Every few weeks I will get an issue for cutting printed decals wherby no matter how many times I adjust the eye it refuses to see the black registration mark.
