Does the shop use PrintSoft for output?

I've only ever sent them PDFs or .tifs for final output, never have seen what they use for the final rip software.

Attention !! cover blown ! Agent goes deep underground...!

Feline agents have returned from the mission to contact the next recipient,.., Our contacts upon arrival found only an empty office, papers strewn about, ransacked.. coded message sifted from the cat litter states the agents cover was blown . He has retreated deep into the mountainous regions to the Sou-westerly to regroup and change disguise. the remainder of the message was soiled. Whistling

therefore..  I will await contact from the next 2.. Smile Dots

My cat just returned, soaking wet from the east coast spring weather. Reports indicate that the paper Ho is in the hands of our operative in Maine, see the earlier post.

Badge - brainstorming is already in progress...

BUILD UPDATE!!! I finally found a source for my engine nacelles!!!

Manny, ChapStick is a product that those with lips occasionally use to ward of cracked skin. Maybe if you'd had it in '43, things would have turned out differently...

How are you "de-greasing " the tube for painting?

 

 

Spray-9. My wife's office has a sign shop, so I can use some of their goo-remover if the Spray-9 doesn't do the job.

Hercmech - have you received the Ho yet?

 

 

So you can silk screen your own Manny T-Shirts ?

 

 

I WISH! No silk-screening there, digital output -> paper, as well as a proper printing press.

In Manny's day, rancid animal grease would have been still in use among the peasants in his sector.

Good idea on use of ChapStik.
