Agreed. The guy wanted to ship it with all the loose parts and motor on top. I said "Please don't." Even if it's missing something, with the exception of the motor it's all dumb metal, and a little...

So I won this auction last week. But I couldn't get the shipping company to pick it up unless the seller agreed to do some comprehensive packaging, which he didn't want to do.

So it's available in...

Tenebrini, have you seen it work? What's the condition? My problem is getting it to Rhode Island.

FYI, Quote from GPI:

Max-Air Quiet Brushless Vacuum Motor 1/3 HP, 3.0-3.6/1.5-1.8 Amp, 1" - 1" NPSC Port 110-115/220-230V, 1PH, 50/60HZ - $635

Thanks! Looks pretty rough, but the price is right.

Andy I was thinking that a good metal frame for a vacuum table could be salvaged from a big old aluminum screen frame. If you don't have one lying around just order one un-stretched that's the size...

I thought about building my own with premium components, as you suggested, but then it gets kind of complicated because by the time I add a micro-reg print head, I'm up to a couple grand again and I...

Quoted price on the 20x24 with the vacuum is about $3700. I have a line on a lightly used one with the same specs for about $2500, though I would probably not pay that much.

I do not want a...

Proto-Press Printer

Has anyone ever used one of these? Looking into getting something that gets me most of the way to a one-man squeegee unit but doesn't cost so many monies.

I use this method in almost all my prints now. It basically multiplies the number of colors you have at your disposal in a single pass. Only downside is that it can't really be touched up like other...

Has anyone mixed 5000 black and 5500 black for a semi-gloss/satin finish?

I don't know about laid, but I tried to print on Arches Cover once. It's a very toothy paper, and the valleys wouldn't fill in very well.

But the lower mesh count sounds like a plan (I was using...

I'm guessing it's just a reflection. Maybe a little surface oil.

How were they cut out, BTW?

I like my Dahle. It'll cut up to 28". It has been sound and reliable, but of course it can only cut 1 or 2 sheets of printmaking paper at a time.

I'm the client, Jack. Break the code.

Plus, I like printing.

I sign and number the front and stamp the back with a neat little art deco letterpress stamp I picked up on eBay. It's unique and kinda decorative, but unobtrusive.

I tell buyers that it's my...

Help me out. TW is like milk compared to SB, but you still need to add water to TW and wet the screen prior to your first pull and after pauses?

If I use a 70 duro squeegee with SB, should I go up...

This is exactly the coating process and emulsion I'm using now.

But exposure is with 2x500 watt halogens from about 40", exposing for about 15 minutes.

It sounds to me like your light is too...

Yes, 42 is outrageously young. Especially since I'm 46.

It's clear that, whatever you want to do, do it. Don't listen to what other people think you should be doing, because you may never get...

It galls me every time I go to the art store and see shelves of water-soluble quarts and a puny shelf of acrylic half-pints.

WHO IS BUYING THAT?!

Not when you go from printing a 6.5 inch wide poster using a 13 inch coater to a 16 inch wide poster using an 18 inch coater using the same screen.

Is it typical to reclaim with the tape still on?

I don't like their screen tape. It leaves adhesive in my mesh.

What happens if you use an oil-based lacquer or urethane over acrylic ink?

I'd like to try printing on wood, but it's not likely I would want to deal with solvent ink.

I'm surprised that an...

I'm definitely going to try the primrose. Usually I want my yellows to be warm and buttery, but I have found it difficult to get a good light plant green with the medium yellow
