  1. Anyone tried hypnosis...?

    OK I don't offer this often and never for free but here it goes. Step 1: Look at the screen and focus on one spot and have someone say in a deep voice " you are getting sleepyyyyyy you will fall asleep......... you will remember nothing when you wake...." Step 2: Have them hit you on the...
  2. Roland Fj-500 Picked Up one have questions

    Having never seen this printer, but knowing the older Rolands are similar yours is an 8 color printer. You have the option to use C,M,Y,K,LC,LM,O,G or you can double up on the CMYK and get a faster print speed (I think). If your printer sat for a bit in transit it may have had the ink draw...
  3. Head Cleaning?

    Sorry as on the older Rolands it is no problem getting at the captops and doing the above procedure. Not sure on a Mutoh.
  4. Odd skipping while printing a banner

    When you say in the same place, is it in the exact same place in the print? If you turn you image in the rip program and print just that portion does it do it?
  5. Odd skipping while printing a banner

    If the right side did not skip did the far left side skip? Also did it skip more as it went to the left side like one roller slipped and the other still was feeding? Can you do an encoder test in your printer? That reads where the print is supposed to be printed.
  6. Head Cleaning?

    Just make sure that your drain lines are clear of blockages and that the pump is able to draw as it should. If you hook a syringe with a small length of tube to the captops and then draw the cleaning solution into the head. To do this I have taken the plunger part out, on 3 syringes, to leave...
  7. Looking for Beer!

    Yes..... but by that time you don't care as much about the lighting.......... Also rember its going to take twice as much of that American beer to get to that feeling as it does Canadian beer.........
  8. Stained Glass Look

    Yet another on the list of things I want to try. Thanks for sharing. Simulated look is one thing but when you can't tell the difference..... that is too good.
  9. CJ-500 print head help

    I too say yes to that head. The Epson stylus color 3000, 1520 and 800 all use one color head (which is the head you want 2 of) and they also have a single black. This is why they list as a color and a black. Don't forget to change the head rank printed on the side of the heads.
  10. print on 1 roland & cut on another?

    I wonder if feed rate could cause any changes between printers. But if it reads all crop marks it should work this into the cutting. Logic says it should work fine.
  11. Stained Glass Look

    I like that, those letters look like the real deal. What did the beige plexi do that you could not do by printing? Just wondering.
  12. Color Choice Density Adjustment

    Have you tried to just click on the color tab and just reduce "ALL" by 10% etc. You can reduce each color on its own but if the colors look right then by reducing All, it should reduce ink volume. I have done some printing on reflective media and it printed real nice, but this was out of...
  13. Color setting - illustrator

    +1 for this This is what I do. Some times I have tried to rasterize it in illustrator but the file is too large. Opening in photoshop does this as it opens (takes a min to open but works)
  14. Second attempt at illustrating a car...MGB

    Just want to make a note that I no longer want to try this.......:banghead::frustrated: It's a lot harder than you guys make it look.
  15. Second attempt at illustrating a car...MGB

    Thanks for that info and taking the time to show it so a person can understand.
  16. Second attempt at illustrating a car...MGB

    In Ilustrator can you not use the "envelope distort" and create a 1 x 1 grid and warp an image to scale it for perspective? Never quite tried it on an image like those rims. Signmeup.... you've got me hooked on trying one of these....... Good stuff
  17. Indoor backlit printed (what for backing)

    It is an option to re use but it took me 1 1/2 hrs to clean off the 30"x30" piece, however it came out like new. The menu board is all cut small small letters and numbers......and lots of them..... The clear lexan would only run $80 ish and cleaning could take 4 plus hrs. Is there a way to...
  18. Indoor backlit printed (what for backing)

    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...
