    By the way you use your other tools and hardware, looking forward to seeing what that chisel can do in your hands.
  3. Happy Bithday Gino!

    Happy Birthday Gino..... Don't worry about being 1 year older you still know where it's at.......... Problem is remembering what it's for........
  4. I have to redo 15 signs...

    I have removed some printed lettering with cleaning solvent, (don't flood with solution but wipe a small amount on and off right away with care not to touch other areas) and it did not cause a mark or dull that peticular vinyl, then did a few cut letters (text was black) and placed the cut...
  5. Ideas on a Substrate

    Depending on the lights they plan to use and how they plan to mount the lights, it may look real nice to have a thin substrate mounted with off sets and run some mini lights behind the snow flake to get a glow. Just not sure if a small run of mini lights would be able to fill that shape with...
  6. Update on the real Bigdawg

    Well said Tim.... I am another on board for prayers. Stay strong.
  7. Stimpson Grommet press (Grommets)

    Thanks, its good to know that there are other options if a person gets into a pinch and needs some grommets elsewhere. I knew the size would be the same, I guess my worry was more about the self pierce ability or if there would have been a different shape die for another brand of press...
  8. Stimpson Grommet press (Grommets)

    Hikers worked. Just wanted to confirm for any others that may want to know. Yes the Hiker long necks work fine in the Stimpson. Also they do self pierce coro.
  9. Fake wraught iron look.

    Now that's a good idea....... thanks. Your work is always amazing..... If you want a real challenge you should try to build some kind of a flying device................... but then again that would be just silly....
  10. Triangle Ink and Nozzel Clog??

    Make sure the Black head's drain line is not blocked as if it is then you won't get ink into that head.
  11. Remove eco-solvent ink from banner

    This is also what I do. Just use solvent cleaning fluid. I have used it on a customers printed banner (got off the internet) that was spelled wrong and removed that letter and pasted another printed letter in it's place. Removed a whole printed line on another and not vey noticable after...
  12. Roland CJ-500 Eco solvent

    First make sure the drain lines are not plugged. Use a syringe and force some cleaning solution through to the drain bottle. Then draw some ink into the heads by attaching a syringe to the captops direct and with the heads parked on the capping station. If you can't get any ink into the...
  13. Do you do it before or after lamming?

    I guess in theory the eye one reads the test prints and changes the amount of ink of each color to get the right color results. I guess it's not really doing an ink limit just by reading the test prints, so if you laminate and then read them it will try to make a profile that makes the end...
  14. Coroplast stars

    If you did not need a huge number of them you could stack a pile of coro together (any colors with some 2 sided tape) and cut with a band saw and do 10 or more at a time. I would think a pile 6 inches or so high should cut ok without the blade wanting to wander. Depeding on the thickness of the...
  15. Do you do it before or after lamming?

    I might be missing something here but are you meaning you would add a laminate to your media before you read your test prints with something like an Eyeone? If so I would have never thought you could or should do that. Adding laminate to a color chart to see what a color looks like is as far...
  16. Cleaning Cartridges question

    If you ever need to do a flush of the system (changing ink to another brand or getting rid of old ink or bad ink in the lines) you can use the cleaning carts. When you have two print heads you would be asked to load the two cleaning carts into one side of the one head ( ex. the black and cyan)...
  17. SP-300 problem

    On my old CJ it's easy to pull the line off the captop and inject some cleaning fluid through to the drain bottles. It's right in front easy to get at. On your SP 300 it may be a bit harder to do. As long as you can remove a line (as close to the capping station as you can get) and inject from...
  18. SP-300 problem

    Hey Jim, I don't have a sp300 but when you say drop out, do you mean as you print a solid color of the yellow or magenta, that the print starts to fade off to nothing or do you just mean the test prints are showing missing nossles on those heads. I kind of assume you mean the heads are...
  19. Out of ink, is there a way to cut?

    The tab is at the front end of the cart and comes out of a slot. Look at an old cart and see, it should be sticking out 1/8 ish inch. If the cart is actually empty and that tab has slid out, then the printer will not work. You can some times remove the cart and tip it forward and watch...
  20. Beware of grommets!!!!

    That does work out to about 50 sets short out of 1000 or 5%. And in your case you have close to 7% of un-usable sets. If they do that to every order thats one way to increase the margins. I would think they would error on the other side of things a bit to make sure they filled the order...
