Could be something simple. Check and make sure that the plugs on your your monitor / mouse / keyboard are tight in the sockets, and make sure your video card is properly seated. If that doesn't do it, what are the specs on your computer?

I know, right? Yeah, those boutique foundries are -really- proud of their work. As much of a font nerd as I am, I'm a big fan of low-cost analogs and freeware.

When you're not using the printer, do you leave the lever open or closed? I ask because I'm wondering if there isn't some ink on your lower pinch-wheels that's being transferred to your upper pinch-wheels.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the A is custom. (If the rest isn't custom, it's some ultra-heavy sans-serif like Impact, Haettenschweiller (sp?), Helvetica Inserat, Press Gothic, etc. that's had the E and the N fiddled with.)

The G is probably custom, like the tail of the Y. That's likely as close as you're going to get in any event. I feel your pain, hand-tracing cursive lettering is about as much fun as eating glass. I know there's a few people on the forums here who do vectorizing. Maybe talk to them?

If you're just trying to duplicate the logo, you could find out who prints his business cards. They might have it.

I assume your test-print is small? Likely not enough time to build up the amount of charge (or whatever) required to mess up your print. You can kill static with humidity, there are also a few hacks that involve dryer sheets and Christmas tinsel. However, before you go chasing that white...

For long-term outdoor and vehicle use, you're probably going to need to laminate whatever you print, which is another piece of large equipment, another set of materials to keep on hand, and another process to learn. You're also going to want to look up the difference between "cast" and...

If it's cold and dry in your shop, it might be a static issue. That's the problem we're having with our 640.

Failing that, you could just call up Nazdar and mix your own. ;)

I would love to read that tutorial.

Talk to the guys putting it up, see what they want to do.

NP. Too bad I've got no idea what that font is...

Seiko is the company that actually makes the HP 780 ink, so you could probably check and see if your distributor already sells Seiko products.

That is a font called Runic MT Condensed with a stroke added to it, that's been stretched really wide.

Souvenir's almost an analog of Cooper, but no. Look at the P and the R specifically. http://bit.ly/XNZobY

Check out the lower right-hand side of the G. In Cooper that shape is a smooth curve right up to the serif, but this font has a spur, like Times or TNR et. al. Cooper: http://bit.ly/Wke6M6 TNR: http://bit.ly/14vADaA I think it's a more traditional serif face that's been distorted or produced...
