Schwab the power cables with a rag on a stick. For the ceiling we rigged up 15' of pvc that we attach to an air line.
Cover machines/garments first, it's a bit like Christmas.

I remember reading on the old board where a person watched a shirt start to singe under a flash and before they could do anything the lint
on the flash was burning and it jumped to the lint on the power cable drop from the ceiling, travelled up it and caught the roof on fire in seconds flat.
If you've ever done the thing where you light the lint on fire on your sock I imagine it's the same. So yeah, clean your power drops and ceiling.

OK, I'll bite, what is "cleaning?"

Ordered a new Gauntlet 4 - 18/20. Should be here 5-6 weeks. Planning to mothball the 12/14 Challenger 3D for a bit, it simply can't do most of our work (not enough colors). May sell it after this one hits the floor not sure yet. We will see.  But we will be rocking 2 x 18 colors for now.

that's awesome man, good for you.

Took this in on trade! Fire waiting to happen
Rebuild time. Cant fix what I cant see.
Took 1 day plus just to clean and inspect.
After Inspection, all questionable/ bad parts changed
Good to go.

Great day in the morning, don't think we've ever had a flash look that bad, but I do know that dust build up on the cooling fan blades will stop there normal air flow.

So, I keep CorelDRAW X6 on the computer, and back save to it when I need to cut.

This, but with X7.
I've tried to get the Graphtec (FC9000) to work with the updated Corel with no luck. Corel and Graphtec both pass the blame to each other and I don't have the time or the want to screw something up as
these get used daily and it works.

I comfort, hug, and protect my X6.  But these days are extremely part time.   :D

Until about 3 months ago, I still used Photoshop 7 for a lot of raster work.
To absolutely finally force myself to really learn more Photopaint, I uninstalled that old Photoshop workhorse. Surprisingly, it had kept on chuggin' through many versions of Windows.
