  5. Does Static Cling Expire?

    I have a roll of Static Cling media that I purchased in March, 2013. When I used it then (on a DC4sx), it printed beautifully, with a low density setting (11000). Today, I tried to print on it using the same settings (I have a User Configuration just for Static) and it was a disaster (take a...

  10. Sign Madness

    I was just trying to enjoy a week off in DC. You can't run away from yourself, apparently. Good keming, there. Fancy measurements. Everyone in our group was fined $25 for not skating. On the metro; more things you must not not do. Type salvation was obtained at the Air & Space Museum...
  11. Alternate Use for a Flatbed Printer

    Hi all (especially Artbot, who seems to be the master of reconfiguring printers) -- do you know if there is a way to use your uv flatbed as a direct-to-screen printer, where you could print the stencil onto the screen (eliminating the need for films, and possibly the exposure)? I've seen...

  13. Flatbed Solvent Printers

    Hi all -- apologies in advance for the naive question, but are there any companies making flatbed solvent printers? I have searched the web and this site and didn't come across anything other than lavaprint (?). We're looking at UV printers, but have concerns that the UV heat would distort...

  15. Unusual Behavior with Large Prints (DC4sx) and workaround

    Hi all -- just wanted to point out an oddity I discovered recently when printing a job on our DC4sx. The lcd screen on the printer normally shows between 26.3" and 26.5" as the print width for a 30" roll of vinyl. However, if all four of the following conditions are met: -- print document...
  16. Drying out from Isaac

    Heyo -- just spent several days rebuilding the office after Hurricane Isaac gave us the soak. One of the computers got a little too damp and wouldn't boot, so I opened it up, poured ten pounds of uncooked rice in the cavity, and sealed it in a plastic garbage bag for 24 hours. After dumping the...
  17. RIP question re: cut marks

    Hello peeps -- I am in the first stages of evaluating rips and large format printers, and am curious if any of the rip packages out there can do this: Let's say I have a single instance of a business card and save it in a format the rip can process (PDF, EPS, etc.) -- can I instruct the rip...
  18. Using FlexiStarter with Summa DC4sx

    Is it possible to use FlexiStarter or any of the Flexi products to run the DC4sx (or any other RIP for that matter)? ColorControl is pretty bare bones in many respects, including no preview... thx! -g-
