Not sure if this will help anyone else but this is something I have found. I re-tubed a pump with solvent tube and decided to leave a little extra length on the section of tube that ran from the pump to the captops. The reason was that as I attach a syringe often to flush the drain lines, I...

This is a bit long.......... This has been a project I finally had a chance to do this weekend. I wanted to be able to scan a larger canvas 16 x 20 and bigger and have it sit flat against the scanner glass. I bought a fairly cheap Mustek scanner 11 x 17. I do a lot of printing canvas art...

Using some orajet 3850 to print some backlits (outdoor) and wondering about laminate. Would oraguard 210 be fine for at least a few years? If so is there a preference to either matt, gloss or semi gloss for a backlit? thanks

Looking to get some long neck grommets for my Stimpson. Fellers has one for Hiker and one for Fasnap. Need a #2 3/8 size but wondering if anyone has tried these or what to recomend. I need to get some reg. #2 nickel but want to get some longer for thicker coro jobs and just in case jobs...

Just printed a small 30"x30" backlit on some SLB-7 (Intelicoat) media. It has the diffused backing with a matte front finish. The exisiting 30"x30" white lexan was lettered and I cleaned it up and will use that as backing support for the new printed backlit. It's low enought that kids could...

When you have to reset your preferences in Illustrator and Photoshop, what are the first things you change back to how you like to use them. For me I did not know about the Scale stroke and Effects. Made things a lot easier all of a sudden. I am wondering what other setting I might be...

Using illustrator I had a glitch thing happen and all reset it seems. When I wanted to send a PDF for someone to view I would save it as PDF and then in the drop down menu on top you could pick option and one was smallest file size ( or something like that ) . Now the custom drop down has...

This is in Illustrator CS3 I am trying to make a simple logo for a Cabinet builder. I want to use the upper case letter "A" from the font Quadranta, and make it look like drawers in the lower part of the"A". I will add the rest of the company name beside the letter "A". If I just use some...

This was on a CJ 500 (6 color) but could have been any printers problem. I have fixed this problem but who wants to play tech and have a guess at the cause? Here was the issue: Left print head ( orange, green & yellow ) would not recharge the color yellow after printing, and the print...

I print with a converted CJ 500 and have always used matte banner material and it always prints great. On gloss Oracal 3641 or other gloss vinyl it's easy to get grainy prints if the heat is not right or the profile is not right etc. I finally got around to getting a roll of matte vinyl and...

Not sure if this should have been in the Roland section or color management. I have a CJ 500 converted to solvent and working fine and also a FJ 42 still waterbased which I have always had some issue with the prints being grainy and not as nice as the CJ printed. Even at the photo mode it was...

Has anyone else tried the "I share" for the I1 Extreme? I just found out about it when I asked how to read a color from a paint chip, printed sample etc. I didn't know if you could or not until I called them and they told me about the I share free download. It gives the pantone color of whatever...

I have a file that must be in CS4. I can't open in CS3. Can someone help out. PM your email and I could sent it over to re-save. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have a service manual for the FJ 500. Anyone here have a FJ 500 or have used before? Thanks

Is there a font that would give the symbols for the dictionary pronunciation fonts? It may be faster just making the symbols up but was just wondering. I'm using illustrator, photoshop or flexi.

Just wondering if any other CJ 500 owners that have converted to solvent, have changed their drain line tubes to a larger diameter tube? The very thin drain line works well with waterbased but the solvent seemed to dry and plug quite easily. I picked up some black brake hose tube and set it...

Finally got a chance to make up a crude version of a take up reel. It will actually let you roll your material up and back it off if your printer happens to pre feed and rewind before print. The tube to roll the media onto is 7" diameter and the gravity feed weight is a 10 lb weight. For a...

I am taking out some print heads from a CJ 500 that are in good shape and had been running Aqueous inks. I will use one in my FJ 42 right away but the other I want to clean it and store it away. ( I am putting solvent into the CJ and will put new heads in for that) My question is how to store...

With regards to the Epson 3000 print heads, are there some dampers that fit a little more loose? I have had some dampers come with a red o-ring inside and now some with a blue o-ring. The original had a black o-ring but I assume they were for the waterbased inks. The ones with a red o-ring...
