I've recently been getting emails from non-customers wanting me to give them my scraps for their "hobbies". I kind of rubs me the wrong way, someone who I've never met in my life, wanting me to take time to sort out my garbage to give them certain sizes (I assume to run through a CriCut). Does...

I had this old guy come in about two weeks ago and drop something off, and I was out, so he left it with the secretary. He needed an "international" logo for his tractor. No problem, but I need some dimensions. It said 24" black letters on white background. Ok? Does that mean the tractor is...

Doing a renovation of the youth area at our church and we are going with a more "rustic" feel this time around. Found some old tin from a barn, and cut this with a plasma cutter from a template we laid down in vinyl, backed with translucent red on some clear plastic I found in my scraps, and...

I am a one man shop, and it used to be very long days/nights for me, and frustrations with production/design problems, and having to deal with paying the bills and the customers and everything that goes with it. Once I found S101 my life became way less stressful because of the knowledge I...

I am currently trying to tweak some of my settings on my new JV33 with Onyx 10, and I am having trouble on my Oracal 3621 prints. They look GREAT as far as quality (printing in 540X1080 6 Pass Bi-Dir) but seems like they have probably a 1/3 more ink that is really needed, and they're mega...

Trying to figure out the best solution for a job I just landed for a 12' X 80' graphic. I've never done one this big. It'll be mounted on the side of a building, in the air, maybe two stories off the ground at the bottom. I won't be installing it, the maintenance dept at the university will...

Anyone ever heard of/used these guys? I was just trying to figure out how to have a 12' X 80' banner printed with grommets all the way around (so I don't have unbox and unfold the entire thing once it gets here) because 365 will only put grommets top and bottom. They say they are wholesale...

Anyone happen to have seen this before? It's a font our local university uses for athletics, but no one seems to know what it is over there, and I didn't find anything close on what the font.

I'm assuming that this is possible in today's world. I have a local university that is wanting me to quote a 12' X 80' graphic that will be all on the side of a field house. They want me to quote 13oz banner, 20oz banner, and Aluminum. I was going to figure up (if I can even get these) (20)...

Anyone know if Erin is still at Merritt? If so, do you have her contact info? I need to check to see if I can get a certain kind of banner, and I'm not able to reach Mike for some reason. I had it, but swapped computers. Needed to get a hold of her email.

I recently was in a friends shop that does a lot of custom fabricating, and I used his shear to cut down some small stuff that I needed. After using it, I'm basically in love with it, and wondering where I can buy one that I can cut my 4X8 sheets down on. It's so much less "dramatic" than a...

I recently upgraded computers, and installed my old copy of CS2, (because it still works fine for me, and I'm cheap) but this time when it installed, I didn't have the option from Acrobat Pro to "Print to Adobe PDF". I had some freebee software on here that I've been using, but now it's telling...

I have a copy of Raster Link Pro 5 SG for a Mimaki JV3 that I just had installed today. I'm running Onyx 10.2, and I figured I might as well sell this one. I can't find them for sale online anywhere, and figured I'd pop it on ebay, but have no clue what to list it at or for how long. Anyone...

Can anyone answer me this? I'm selling my JV3 today and I'll give them the wipers to it if I can't use them in my JV33.

Sent this to The Vector Doc and he doesn't know it, so we thought maybe it'd be a good idea to see if anyone else did, cause I have nothing like this in my files. Any ideas?

So I'm upgrading my printer, and low and behold, wouldn't you know they don't run on FireWire anymore, it's USB 2.0, and wouldn't ya know, I had bought my last one right when 2.0 came to be, and my computer has the original USB on it. So, not that it's not time to upgrade anyway, but I get the...

I just ordered my JV33 today. I did find out that you can get an extended warranty right now for an extra year, as long as you sign an ink contract. I haven't gotten that yet, so I'm not real sure what all it entails...but, I do know that I ran Bordeaux inks for about four years, and loved...

I am pretty sold on printing on Oracal vinyl, however, I'm using a big squeegee, and would really like to have a thicker liner on the back so that it makes it easier to lay down. I can do it it ok with the Oracal, but on bigger prints, I have a higher error rate. I was trying to think of what...

Anyone have any luck at selling printers, and if so...how did you get rid of them? I'm looking at upgrading from my current Mimaki JV3 to a JV33-130. I'm trying to figure out rather to just "trade it in" for $1000 credit towards the next one, or just try and sell it some other way via online...
