  1. Need Help What are these nasty green lines? (pic included)

    which direction do they appear? parallel the carriage axis or the feed axis? the former typically being ink starvation, and the latter an encoder strip/sensor issue. if its a gradient rendering/profile-thing, it could be confirmed by recreation of the issue when printing at rotation
  2. Help! So confused. Need recommendation for CNC Router / Table

    bought our 3000 series MultiCam nearly 20yrs ago....still going strong. best deals on them are buying used, as I just bought a used 6'x12' one that came with blower for the vacuum hold-down for $32k, but you would have to know how to look under the hood to determine if someone is just unloading...
  3. Repainting large logo murals on exterior concrete walls - first time- help!

    +1 Gino's advice. feels like a rabbit-hole of cleaning to make it look "right" dibond panels with graphics, big enough to cover existing stuff, and bolt it on. upsell it as a setup for future revisions that would only require new vinyl overlays, but at a fraction of the cost to restore &...

  7. Ink from MaxMetal ACM liner transferred onto ACM?

    grimco's always been fast to credit claims. never had an issue with them, especially if you contact your sales rep directly.
  8. Re-positioning acrylic pin-mounted letters

    plot the letter pattern and hand-mark the stud targets by placing letters with studs on paper. if you can get the letter aligned and simple press on it, the studs will dent the paper enough for you to highlight/draw with a pen
  9. Ink from MaxMetal ACM liner transferred onto ACM?

    rapidremover/googone has always been a good way for me to remove sharpie from finished surfaces without "burning" it
  10. Formed Lettering but the customer wants it glued instead of drilled

    VHB tape tabs on backs of letter will hold long enough for 100% silicone or whatever adhesive you use to set. the thickness of the VHB tape also allows for the adhesive to have some substance as well rather than just mashing it thin/flat to the wall. tape paper pattern to wall, and just slice...
  11. Need Refresher on 'Head Soaking'

    there no nozzle wash option that allows you to fill caps & park head for up to 99min? thats what we used to do on our dx4 mimaki and just unplugged the machine to bypass the cleaning cycle and the caps/heads stayed soaking overnight

  14. Protesters swarm to Capitol, halt session on Biden victory

    not to braaaag, but i've yet to be censored online. ....just at the ballot box. #juuuustsayin speaking of, i honestly love the re-emergence of "political discussions" on these forums even though they were ban'd a long time ago. if anything else, we're boosting s101's presence on google...
  15. Protesters swarm to Capitol, halt session on Biden victory

    getting along flew out the window 4yrs ago, but continuing the path of in-fighting won't get us anywhere. People should not be discriminated for the color of their hat, but rather be judged for the content of their instagram. Bonus points for boobs, because I'm a gentleman.
  16. Question Applying Vinyl to PVC letters

    in my limited experiences with paints, anything is possible with the right base.... you may have had issues with one shot bonding with the surface, in which case there would have been a primer/adhesion promoter to be sprayed beforehand. in a jiffy, Krylon paints for plastics is an easy go-to...
  17. Question Applying Vinyl to PVC letters

    you definitely want to paint the letters for exterior use. black expanded foam pvc turns chalky/grey, white discolors as well. I've still slung them up unpainted and its "good enough from down here", but the unpainted faces have ALWAYS received complaints. Even had one set that was supposed...
  18. Suggestions Aluminum Corners

    could have sworn that mcmaster carr or grainer or signcomp would have an aluminum option, but they ALL carry the plastic ones. stainless steel is the only other option i've found
  19. Need Help Ice damage on new graphics - how to stop from happening again

    Love how this thread has derailed into people reposting topless pics of me.
  20. Need Help Scan Motor Error? Printer currently dead in the water

    i just did limited tinkerer's inspection. I'm sure I could have removed it to look-closer, but started by disconnecting & reconnecting the wires to make sure its not just a loosely seated cable, and cleaned the working parts with a lint free cloth (on my mimaki it was a black stick on the...
