http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/07/19/fake-signs-warn-of-drones-patrolling-bay-area-highways/ Someone in California is producing DOT quality "Speed Enforced by Drones" signs and installing them along California Freeway... Who do we know in California with sign making gear?

Each week I try and make a different zombie themed shirt to wear to the Zombie Fest planning committee meeting. This week I used a piece of free vector art from T-Shirt Factory on Jet Opaque II along with some white and red Siser Easy Weed on a dark purple FOTL 50/50 t-shirt. The contrast looks really bad on the text and especially the bitten heart in this picture (taken while still laying on the press) but looks much better in normal room lighting... The drop of blood coming off of his chin flipped up during the 1 second between when I could see it and when I couldn't. The heat tape I've got couldn't pull the design off of the liner, and once I got the design peeled off manually, any attempt to bring the tape down on top of it caused it to want to curl up towards the tape, no matter how much I tried to dissipate any static... Oh well, I still think it looks pretty good. Really loving the opaque papers with my pigment printer, they always come out nice and clean. The bright area around his lower lip is glare off of the transfer, I realize now that it looks worn away in the picture, but it looks fine without the glare...

Not Again. I called uscutter and they said send me your fc within the hour and they'll keep the forum up or else.

Quick fix is to go to town and pay the vinyl guy to do it for you. Easy.

Clearing a spot in the store just in case.

Yes, you can do that with a pigment printer. When I hear people talking about using a WF1100, I immediately assume dye sub work as that's what a lot of people are using them for. Most people refer to "heatpress stuff" as "T-shirt transfers", vs. dye-sublimation or heat pressed vinyl, which are also technically "heatpress stuff". If you're looking to print on vinyl, then you'll be very limited in options using a desktop inkjet printer - there is a limited selection of vinyls that accept aqueous inks. You'll definitely want to go with pigment inks for t-shirt transfers or for printing vinyl. I purchased my WF1100 from a forum member. It came with refillable cartridges and a large supply of high temp inks - so much so that they went bad before I could use them all up. I recently purchased a generic CISS off of ebay and filled it with fresh Cobra Ink high temp inks and it's made a world of difference in final color output, and it's so much easier than using a syringe to refill those old cartridges... You can buy a brand new WF7010 for around $200, a generic CISS for it will run you about $40 on ebay and then you can get the inks from Cobra Ink (four 4 oz bottles is $51.99) to fill it up yourself. Or you can buy the whole kit and kaboodle (printer, CISS and pigment inks) directly from Cobra Ink for $359. They no longer pre-install the CISS kit, but they will walk you through the process and provide phenomenal support if you need it. I would love to see a 13"x19" version of the WF4020 - it has internal, re-fillable 4 oz. ink cartridges and so no need for a CISS kit. I love my WF4020 - would love it more if it could do up to 13"x19"...

well we know terry will never be any competition to us. If ya dont learn on your own you dont succeed. Theres no having someone hold your hand in business

not sure what the big deal is buy the new version of the same printer for $114. and be happy http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&sku=C11CB59201-N

Yeah it looks like you have a pretty good grasp on the process. The memorial cross has some nice small detail, I am impressed.

Since your so slow, why don't you disassemble that bad boy and send me the pen block so I can give it a test run. Then I can sell you a working machine!

Sorry ran out of beer so took a little longer.. Not my best work but should work I cant post eps here way to big pm me and Ill email you the zip ridgeriders.zip
