"Wow, I have a DTG machine sitting right next to my VS300. I try to keep the humidity near 60% to keep the water based inks from drying on the heads. I haven't seen any problems with my Roland prints. Any thoughts?"

Kathy MacMannis replied to Mark Reynolds's discussion Dry Erase Pricing"Just curious if you are going to be printing on the dry erase, if so, then from what I learned from a certain training class, is that the customer will need to be careful when cleaning it. The cleaning fluids will eventually dissolve your ink…"
Kathy MacMannis replied to April Holder's discussion what will stick to paper bag"April this might seem kinda obvious but why not try simple vinyl? That stuff sticks like crazy as I just experienced when trying to weed a simple sign yesterday. I had more stuck to my hands than I can tell you, and it reinforced why I…"

Kathy MacMannis replied to MissElanaS's discussion How do I remove background from the attached object?"I use this technique quite often when I have someone actually give me a high resolution piece of artwork. Keep in mind though if your customer gives you a piece of junkaroo (crap) then you're out of luck!

Kathy MacMannis replied to Leonne's discussion Need good site to download fonts"thanks Di! I just had a heart attack when I saw that it said it found 10,000 fonts, but only 1400 are installed, which I believe is still not good. I will play around when I get a chance, and try and move some over to the left that I…"

Kathy MacMannis replied to Leonne's discussion Need good site to download fonts"Thanks Di!! Ok, here it goes....... I have never used font navigator (yikes) embarrassed to say I have no idea what it even does .

Kathy MacMannis replied to Leonne's discussion Need good site to download fonts"Ok, I am a little confused here...... how do you use a font from a folder or flash drive if it is not installed in the font folder? Do you temporarily install it just when needed?

Kathy MacMannis replied to Tim Doring's discussion media not feeding stright"Ok, I think we are talking about two separate things.

Kathy MacMannis replied to Tim Doring's discussion media not feeding stright"Kevin, I think machines have different personalities.

Thank you, I have a versa cam 540 and am traveling to do signs on a movie with it. it will be traveling for 3 to 4 days, and in freezing temps. I've bought the cleaning solution cartridges, and have a general idea what to do but the manual is a bit vague on the whole process. If you have any help with how to pump the ink...when to pull ink cartidges and put cleaning ones, and how does it travel? with or without cartridges in??? Any advice would be very helpful.
Thank you

Vicki Dunning said… Kathy, Dennis* and I are considering going to DAS University out in Arizona and I saw your testimonial and was wondering if you still felt it was worth it. Dennis hates to travel and I'm trying to convince him we should both go. We have Smart Designer. What are your thoughts?

Larry Turner said… - Kathy, thanks for the information. Please keep me advised on your laminating efforts with it. I would like to hear/see some results before I take the plunge. Maybe if it will work on our decals, I can save up and buy a better laminator than the daige.
Thanks again
Larry
