Ink gun dispensers
« on: October 02, 2013, 06:58:22 PM »
Anyone ever try these?  Likes?  Dislikes?  Drawbacks that I'm not thinking of or will experience by those who have tried them?

They almost always end up under the dryer collecting dust

they are ok until you get a really thick ink and the metal rod bends while trying to push the ink out...

we had some back in the day - around 1998 or so...  maybe they have improved?

its a great idea, but the outside was constantly covered in ink (shoved into the bottom of the 5g bucket) - ink trails from the bucket to the screen...

Zelko, can you not just put the tip of the "spicket" in the ink and start sucking the ink like you'd do with a syringe rather than shoving it down deep into the bucket such that ink builds up on the sides of the pump?


Thanks guys.

of course you can...  we tried, but eventually it would get shoved to the bottom....

Anyone have a good source for these?

Or since they seem to go unused in many shops any have a couple that are relatively clean (or can be cleaned easy enough) that they would be willing to box up for us?

This made me think of the 1977 SNL spot in which Mark M'butu of the developing nation of Namibia makes a plea to citizens of the United States to send his poor nation what they most need, leftover fondue sets. He also thanks Mr. and Mrs. Norman Praeger for the "water pick and the deluxe toaster oven."
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Exactly, something like that.
