Get spares while you are at it... after you have had them for a number of years and taken the plates off the sliders a good number of times the soft aluminum screw holes wear out. Then again the slides are pretty easy to remove and once out just give them a light whack with a small hammer next...

Not everywhere.... they kept most of the staff at the SC Alumapanel location. Aside from that a lot of this is just like FedEx / UPS is terrible comments and threads. The bad experiences are very much a regional or local branch problem. At our last location UPS was terrible and FedEx was...

LOL - yes that second point on the bottom of the cap must be plugged. That will cause problems if not. Maintenance settings depends on how much you use the machine. I will let others answer on that. A RIP that is cheap? No idea - we use Flexi. You might find Rasterlink on eBay for cheap? That...

You are opening the ink cartridge valves before you try to suck ink with a syringe right? It is a sealed system and if you do not you are just putting a large negative pressure on the ink lines and everything else. Aside from that, yes the capping top should seal to the head. There should not...

Open in Acrobat. Tools, Watermark. Type a big 1 or whatever (you can delete in Illustrator later). Then Print Production >Flattener Preview - check convert all type to outlines, 100% vector (if it is), click apply, ok on the warning about this cannot be undone. Save as a new PDF. Open in...

To not need a decoder you will need an OEM head with the green connector. Mutoh and Mimaki both use them and both are compatible. The manifolds are slightly different though so if you get one intended for Mimaki you will need to install the manifold you have now on it. For a green connector head...

Yes Flexi is still available as a perpetual license purchase instead of a subscription. Just have to go through a reseller to buy it. It is not cheap though but the LXi version from signwarehouse which is an OEM version probably is a bit cheaper to buy.

Another I'd say on some RIP's that will seemingly work with PDF files but not ai files..... It "should" work with an ai file if it can work with a pdf. You can always just rename a .ai file to .pdf though. Internally the files are structurally built the same way since like CS2. A lot of the...

Places pay for swatch books??? You need a different sales rep if that is the case.

Or the same ones that insist on still designing everything in CMYK. Can I have eleventeen different blacks that for some reason all print a dull ugly dark shade of grey please? Larger files with a smaller gamut - perfect! That being said I still get files from some of the largest most...

We have started seeing who can keep one on hold the longest here.... If you play it it right "dang, can you hold for just a sec, a customer came in but this sounds interesting so give me a sec". You can do it several times. I've had one strung out for a good 20 minutes a while back. He called...

It is a gamble as mentioned but if you are extremely technically inclined, know where to find parts, and are willing to put in the effort you can save massive amounts of money. I've bought used machines a couple of times and for truly incredible prices. As long as the machine was not improperly...

Generally an out of focus issue is not a problem but the method you mention also works excellent as well and would be preferred for any sort of thing that would be viewed close up at all. For general outdoor signage its not going to really matter.

Their tech botched the job and left you hanging..... they need to pay up! Plain and simple.

I've found there is no solution for a backlit to look good using a single print. What works for use every time is to print it normal (reverse printed on clear if that is how you are going about it). Then print a second duplicate copy and apply it to the inside of the acrylic. Even if you...

What model Mutoh were you using and having issues with Papabud? We are considering a Mutoh....

Well..... back home and tired. Marathon few days. Flew in Monday evening and got to hotel at 8pm. Spend Tuesday from 9:15am to almost 6pm at the show and left this morning (wed) at 9am and flew back and finally got back home around 5pm local time. For us, the show proved beneficial. Made some...

My biggest worry..... connection flight at Dulles (Washington). Land at 4:25 and depart at 5:10, only 45 minutes and have to go from Concourse A to Concourse D which means taking the old wacky mobile lounge between the terminals. I just noticed earlier today on my flight itinerary that it says...

Well - looks like Nate was much ado about nothing as far as New Orleans is concerned. Took a bit of a right turn at the last minute and ran about 50 miles east. Looks like it should be easy going and nice weather for the show! :) Of course many other places were not so fortunate. :( Hopefully...

I'm guessing that is sarcasm.... at least I hope so. Vomela also sounds pretty snappy. :D
