How about running the fan in the spray booth for 5 - 10 minutes before painting to suck out the stuff in the near air before spraying? Then after spraying, cover the front of the spray booth so nothing else gets in while it's drying.

I would discuss it with the vendor and see what they have to say. Surely this isn't the first time they've had the problem. When we receive shipments from Japan, if there are any paints in the shipment (and for us, that's just the weathering supplies), the shipment gets tagged as having hazardous ma...

John says "The only thing that's hard to read is the gray bar on the 1/6. All of the rest of them look fine." Maybe if you just printed every other mm on the 1/6 it would be better.

JT graphics uses an ALPS printer that can print white ink, so it's not a fair comparison. He doesn't use a standard ink jet printer. But his paper is clear.

This from John:

Do not pull an erin and drink it - the burps are killer.

Let your brushes soak in it a bit after you get the paint off. It'll get the dried on stuff off, and it acts as "conditioner" as well.
