  1. Agfa Mv Ink Overflow error

    Thanks Chris! This one is new to me. The manuals we have were translated, I assume from Chinese, by a Korean, and the resulting wording is more than a bit off! I'll report back Best Ken
  2. Agfa Mv Ink Overflow error

    Still looking for suggestions on this. The ink overflow error is still present, I am assuming that it has to be a reset. I tested all the pumps, they all seem to be working, as well as the float sensors. However, as I try to start up, even before getting to the ink overflow error, some sensor...
  3. Agfa Mv Ink Overflow error

    Anyone got any ideas? Thanks Ken
  4. 1940s Brush Font ID Please?

    I posted this on what the font forum, to no result, so I am hoping that all the font gurus here can point me to a font like this. This is originally done in the late 1940s and used up through the early 1960s, I feel sure it was done by someone truly of old school by hand, but I'd love to find a...
  5. Agfa Anapurna M/Mv Service Manual

    Hi Everybody. I've run into an issue with my Anapurna Mv today, that has us stopped in our tracks. Fortunately, I don't have to print anything today or even Monday. Our machine was delivered in December 2008. We rarely use the varnish. I shut the machine down normally last week, went out this...
  6. Porcelain Enamel Signs

    Thanks! That is one that I considered as well. Thoughts from anyone else? Best Ken
  7. Porcelain Enamel Signs

    The original signs, of which I have one, are not actually embossed into the metal. They are on steel, not sure of the thickness, but probably less than 1/16th. However, the process does give the letters a look of a very slight raised surface, barely enough to feel. I think it is such a tiny...
  8. Porcelain Enamel Signs

    The railroad historical society I am involved with is in the last stages of complete restoration of a fire damaged 1910 built station. The original drawings specify some porcelain enamel signs to identify various areas. I realize this would be only a small run, but these are pretty simple...
  9. Agfa Anapurna M2 - Print Head Installation

    I don't know how similar or not it is to the Anapurna, but we have changed out two heads last year. If you want to PM me, I'll offer what I can. Ken Miller
  10. File Exporting Question.

    It might be damaged, or it might be the newer version of the software as it said. I'd try to open it in Acrobat and then you can export it out as an eps or postscript, then you might be able to use the vector art. Best Ken Miller
  11. Anapurna UV lamps?

    Geez, in between the time I started writing, I see Gerald chimed in! I cannot speak too highly of TCS. Ken
  12. Anapurna UV lamps?

    I've bought ours from TCS Technology: http://www.tcsuv.com/ I do not remember exactly what I paid, but it was very reasonable compared. Gerald Fitzgerald is with TCS and is on these boards. TCS Technologies Specialty lamp manufacturers 430 Sandshore Road Unit 1 Hackettstown, NJ 07840 USA...
  13. Temporary cement

    Actually, my boss wanted this for some project a couple of years back. So, I googled it as booger glue, sure enough, found it on Amazon! We never followed through with it, it was a hot glue gun type of thing, and we did not need that much, so it was dropped, so to speak. Ken Miller
  14. Off Topic: Should I Buy A Toyota Prius?

    I have a 2005 RAV4, 4 cylinder, the gas mileage is a joke, it does not do any better than my 1999 Tacoma. However, right after I bought the RAV in January 2005, I drove a 500 mile round trip, and discovered my right knee did not like something about it and never has. I then was considering a...
  15. garbage rant!!!

    Sounds like the basis of an Arlo Guthrie song! For those old enough to remember. Did the police come and take 27 8x10 color glossy photos with circles and arrows? :) Best Ken
  16. Agfa M2 Printheads

    I am with Chris on this, I thought they were 14 as well. I'd double check and get the machine serial number and get in touch with digiprint supplies and see what they say. I've contacted them via their website for parts on our Mv and they were quite helpful and far more reasonable than Agfa. We...
  17. Epson 11880 Error 131B

    Hi All Our Epson 11880 is now almost 7 years old, but has probably been used less than most people use in a year. It gives me an error 131B now, and as far as I can tell, we have no epson dealer nearby. According to the Service Manual I found, this is the Thermistor in the Print Head Reporting...
  18. Old metal sign restoration: method, materials, how much to charge

    I'd second that. Once you've modified it, the history is gone forever. One of my first vintage signs I ever got was a railroad station sign from a small town. It was removed when the building was torn down in 1964, and the person who asked for the sign and repainted over it for a sign for an...
  19. flat bed printers

    We first started shopping in December 2007. On December 18, my boss came in my office about 4:45 in the afternoon, and said he wanted to buy a flatbed printer, and wanted to get it in here before the end of the year for tax purposes. <waiting for laughter> Yeah, sure, we can do that without...
