Hello Richard, We purchased an 80600L last year and just got our 2nd in last week. The colors are amazing! We replaced our 60600s which were great! We did steal the dryers off of the 60600s, we noticed when printing heavy saturation on banners it was still tacky and that took care of it. So...

Hello Derek, We have a Vanguard VK300D 6Head w/2 Channels of White Ink. We're coming on three years and are still pleased with the purchase. What sold us on it was the speed, being able to print ADA signage, upgradable to 10 heads if/when we need more speed. We needed a 5x10 bed so we never...

Have you looked into/have room for an application table?

We just replaced two Epson SC60-600 w/Epson SC80-600L. We had good luck with the previous printers so when we were looking we went right back to Epson. The service is done by Decision1, we had a tech less than 4 hours away. He would come out the same week. The thing I like about Epson...

The daily start up consists of purging ink through the heads, wiping them. Then you print a 12"x12" of white ink, we print a CMYK pattern with white on top of it. Next is a nozzle check. If everything is there, then your good to go. It takes less then ten minutes... If you need to get the white...

We bought an Accubend Freedom and just like said earlier once you understand the constraints of the machine and how to design for it. I was a great investment to compete with other local sign shops that had been doing them for years. Is it the best machine out there? Probably not but we get...

We've always used clear and backed it in white translucent vinyl. The vinyl goes to the edge of the back of the acrylic which is a good 1/4" beyond where it pushes through. We haven't had any issues to doing this way.

The hybrid was fine on flat stock as long as registration didn't matter. The conveyor vacuum is not a true science in my opinion.

Our first position for any hire is production. That way they get a feel for the materials/applications and get to know the what and why. We keep them in production off and on for a couple weeks. Someone new to the sign world will need at least a years worth of training, my boss and I have been...

Hello, We have a Vanguard VK300D, it's a little over two years old. It has been a huge leap forward for us in comparison to our EFI H1625 it replaced. The speeds are amazing, we have 6 heads (2 White) it will print a 4x8 in 4 minutes. One of the reasons we bought this machine is that we can...

We've bought the SignHero brand replacement bulbs. They are double sided and have worked well for us. Glantz has them available. Otherwise we've gotten edge LEDs and put those around the entire frame and elimated the bulbs, the run about $4/per led, we get those from GOQ along with the...

Hello Jonathan, We currently have a base model Multicam 1000 series, it's a tank. But when we need service, it's been crickets. They were recently bought out so the service has been better. I have explored the ShopSabre, and we are pretty sold on it. It has lifetime phone support and you are...

Hello, we currently have both a Summa F1612 Flatbed cutter and a Multicam 1000 Series router (Base Model, no tool changer) The workflow on the Summa is great with the barcode system and the speed of it is great! We are looking to replace the Multicam in the next few years and the ShopSabre is...

We got this grommeter from YESCOM it comes with 10,000 grommets! It's been cheaper to buy another one of these instead purchasing the grommets. It only uses the top of the self piercing grommets so multiple layers of banner are tougher to get through (Corners) It has wheels to move sideways down...

I've only used the AP-3155 on acrylics, even then if you aren't printing heavy saturation or solid colors 1st surface you can see they wipe marks/hand prints. Although it takes longer we've routed acrylic and just used the promoter on the edge and printed with bleed, if you have multiples you...
