  1. AZ For Sale - Large Format Printer - Roland XR-640

    We've had both Roland eco-sol and HP latex machines - this was an insurance replacement for a stolen Roland 545EX. Honestly they are both great machines but we're going to stick with the HP. I know there are a lot of loyal and loving Roland devotees out there though and I just want to find her a...
  2. AZ For Sale - Large Format Printer - Roland XR-640

    Original purchase price was $29,224 - Will let it go at $22,000 Large format printer in brand new, perfect condition with only (2)+/- sets of ink through the machine. Priced to sell at what we feel is a fair price but some negotiation is possible and transportation can be affected depending...
  3. Can Flexi tell you the square footage of a shape?

    It's not always a perfect approach/setup, but it's moments like this that make me happy to be using Illustrator with CADtools - not only can I effortlessly calculate the area of any shape, I can see it in any conceivable unit and I can do the same thing with perimeter. This is beyond useful for...
  4. Mathews Paint

    I would echo the comments made by equippaint....have not sprayed reducer over the finished paint application but I'm very aware that my scope of knowledge is limited when it comes to sophisticated painting techniques. However, sophistication is not required with the MAP systems - the spec sheets...
  5. Question Recommendations For An All Around Proof Printer

    First things first: I need a desktop printer to produce shop drawings - I know that PROOF printer implies a serious high dollar printer to produce color "proofs" for client review, but I simply used this jargon to differentiate from all the many posts regarding large format/sign production...
  6. Woohoo 4 To 6 Weeks Of Vacation

    Wow - that's a creative way to keep a positive attitude! o_O Best wishes!
  7. Need Help Ready To Upgrade - Not Sure Direction... Solvent, Latex, Other...

    We were facing the same decision. We had an old HP L25500 latex and an old Roland SC-545 eco-solvent. They both certainly had pros and cons - I too loved all the benefits of the latex but observed one other trait which was less than optimal. Stretching the printed material around curves that...
  8. Alternative To Gemini?

    Another vote for Gemini being pretty darn good!
  9. Question Aluminum Finishes And Durability Concerns

    That's about what I've been thinking. We've probably over-engineered some of these over the years - but we did charge appropriately and they have all lasted nicely with the exception of the one we fixed which I mentioned...thanks for the input!
  10. Question Aluminum Finishes And Durability Concerns

    We've used brushed (and polished) raw aluminum in interior signs for years, as well as some of the "stock" anodized aluminum finishes as well. We've used them in exterior settings as well...I've always wondered how necessary/recommended it was to use a clear coat to protect/prolong these kinds...
  11. Wanted: Scrap diamond grade reflective pieces

    Awesome Over the years we have started a few vinyl scrap balls but given up...largely due to the dimensions and weight you mentioned and no real practical place to put it....that is fun to see that someone went all the way with it! :rock-n-roll:
  12. Font Match - Close but can't seem to nail it down....font match software?

    Many thanks! I did try Bookman but not Oldstyle bold which nailed it! Thanks a bunch and here comes some font id software my way ASAP. Thanks again!
  13. Font Match - Close but can't seem to nail it down....font match software?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated - also does anyone have preferred / recommended font id software. I'd love to eliminate this process with the seemingly endless fonts out there now!
  14. Recognize this Font?

    lol - that's a hell of a coincidence. Looks like J Hill has it - thanks!
  15. Recognize this Font?

    Wow - thanks much! I don't have that font so that's annoying but at least I know what to go looking for now...thanks again.
