  1. CRAZY banding out of nowhere...

    Anyone have any idea what would cause this type of banding? Started about 3 print jobs ago, gets worse as the job progresses. This was an 8 foot banner, and this is the last 12-14" of it. I've cleaned the encoder strip, and I'm getting a near 100% nozzle check. Mutoh 1304.
  2. Cordless hammer drill recommendations?

    Well, I've been putting it off for a while, but I've got a couple of jobs coming up out in the sticks, and I don't feel like lugging a generator out. Gotta mount some frames to brick, then attach polymetal panels. Anyone have recommendations on a cordless hammer drill and bit sets that...
  3. Today's wrap

    Did this one this morning. 2 guys, 4 hours. Went nice and quick and easy :) (Not my design - client design...lol)
  4. VJ1304 - Ink Carts stuck??!!!

    Well, some of you know about the problems I was having with my printer a couple of weeks ago. Got back from vacation and got it up and running. Been printing great. HOWEVER - my Y and K cartridges are stuck in the printer?!?!?! There was some ink drainage when I originally started having my...
  5. She's running again!!!

    Thanks to everyone for their help!! After taking nearly everything apart, finally came down to simply needing to re-seat the head. A couple of head soaks and a couple of heavy cleanings, and I'm back in business! Thanks again to EVERYONE who chipped in with help on this. It was an education...
  6. And the Mutoh problems march on...Help anyone?

    Well, I finally got the damper cover off - and unless it's absolutely necessary, I'm never putting that stupid thing back on there again!!!! That isn't the issue though..... The reason i replaced the dampers is because I was getting pretty serious banding issues across all media on...
  7. Mutoh 1304 damper change.

    OK - I'm trying to change the dampers in my 1304. Running into some issues. I've got the plate screws off the front of the print head - the plate that covers the damper area. From there, i'm not stuck. Whats the next step to exposing the dampers?
  8. Source for Mutoh 1304 Dampers?

    Anyone have a good source for Mutoh 1304 dampers? Fellers' wants $54.99/ea for them, and I gotta think there is an aftermarket damper that will be MUCH cheaper than that....
  9. Felt like doing some drawing tonight...

    A couple of hours worth of sketch/pen&ink.
  10. Headed to St. Louis!

    As some of you know, I'm in the midst of launching a 3rd business (a self serve frozen yogurt shop). My business partner and I are getting ready to head towards St. Louis for 2 days at the manufacturing plant of Pacific Valley Dairy! I'll still be lurking here, but mostly from my phone - so...
  11. Rogue Roller!

    Just wanted to give a quick shout out to Charlie over at Rogue Roller. Class act all the way. Took a solid hour out of his day to share with me his foam sculpting processes and gave me a ton of great advice. There tends to be a disproportionate amount of negativity on these boards lately - I...
  12. Pole top street sign brackets

    Anyone have a good source for these? I've always used Grimco in the past, but I refuse to give them another dime.
  13. Graphtec 5500 not completing job...

    Here's the scoop. I've got to cut the side reflective stripes for a Sprinter ambulance. I've ruined 35 ft of expensive material already....ARGH! Each side is just over 17' long. I send the job, and it cut roughly 13' of it, and then stops, says job is done, and gets ready for the next job...
  14. Mighty Deals!!

    Not sure if any of you belong to MightyDeals.com or not, but while a lot of the time it's a bunch of junk, today's deal was pretty awesome. I bought it. $49. It is a web/graphic design resource site that compiles sales from around the web and packages them. Here's a link to all their current...
  15. Wow....Just, Wow...

    Had one of the worst vendor experiences of my life today. I'm not one to just throw a vendor under the bus, but this was over the top ridiculous. Be aware. The way this was handled at the branch level is a joke. Here is the email that I just sent to the CEO of the company. Mr. Hummert...
  16. O.m.g.

    Just got this from a potential client. She said she had the sign designed professionally and just needed a quote for production and installation. I told her to send me the file and I'd take a look at it. This is what I got. Seriously? :banghead::banghead::banghead:
  17. Juicing!!

    I know that several of you have been dieting/adjusting your diets. I thought I'd make a quick post about what I've been doing, and how it's working! About 2 months ago I watched a documentary on Netflix out of boredom. It is called "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead". Thing changed my life -...
  18. Just finished logo design

    Just finished and received final approval for this logo. Thought I'd share!
  19. CarveWright?

    Anyone have any experience with this product? I'm SERIOUSLY considering buying one. We don't do a ton of 3d work, but this bad boy can be had for 5% of what a decent CNC can. I talked to them today, and you can even to tiling and glue ups to make a full 4'x8' panel if you want. I'm intrigued...
  20. National Companies....(smh)

    So, i get a call yesterday from a national company out of NY (I won't name names). They have a full window perf job they need installed at an Optometrist here in my town. I've been by the place, and these are every bit of 4'x8' windows. hey ask for my email so they can send me what exactly they...
