We've taken delivery but are actually delaying the install until our new shop is finished, so I've not been through that yet. Hope to have construction finished at the end of the month. Didn't want to go through the hassle and expense of installing the new circuits for few weeks here.

List was $18,995 minus a $2500 SGIA show discount that was valid through the end of last month. The 64" Graphtec was separate from that.

Our new HP latex 360 printer and Graphtec plotter arrived today. We're pumped! Somebody buy that nice Roland VP540 I've got for sale in the classified section! Great printer that needs a new home: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?128755-Roland-VP540-Printer-Cutter-FOR-SALE

This is a used 54" Roland VP540 printer/cutter with the intelligent pass control (i) firmware upgrade. This printer has only been used with OEM Roland Eco-Sol Max inks. This is a 4 color printer that accepts 220 or 440ml cartridges (we use 440's). Factory installed automatic take up reel is...

We've had similar experience with Eco-Sol Max inks and our VP540 on the SV480 material. We switched back to IJ180cV3 because we got far superior print quality. I would recommend checking 3M profile center or Roland's new profile website to see if they've release one specifically for your...

We have all three in our shop... UV, Latex and Eco-Sol. Long story short very few (if any) UV curable ink have the flexibility and stretchability for vehicle wrapping. A flexible UV curable ink is suitable for products that might be rolled such as banners, but where it really shines is direct...

Any advice would be appreciated... We are having significant trouble with the recessed side and rear panel on the new full size transit. We've used heat, adhesion promotor, but we cannot get the vinyl to lay in that 90 degree channel. How are others dealing with it? Cut and drop in? Inlay an...

Bigfoot Sighting :) I've got one! Got it as part of a package deal with our JFX200 flatbed. It's starting to grow on me. Had it since early December. This is our first and only experience with a latex printer. It took some getting used to coming from 10 years of running Eco-Solvents. We are...

Anyone found a good profile setting for 3M SV480cV3 wrap film with their VP540? I'm seeming to get the best print quality with PCV4 but I'm open to recommendations. Thanks!

Reduced Again! Reduced to $12,000.

We have the JFX200. Had it installed in December. We have the CMYK WWCC set up and get about 4 boards an hour. That's running the fastest print mode and the prints do look great at that speed.

Reduced! Reduced to $18,500.

Thanks for the info!

This is a brand new 64" wide Mimaki latex printer, installed just days ago. List price on this machine is $25,500 (not including ink, shipping, and installation.) This particular model is set up double CMYK, running the Mimaki LX101 series inks (600ml ink packs.) Uses a USB 2.0 interface...

Running Flexi 8.6v2... We are coming from a Roland VersaCamm VP-540 print/cut device where registration/crop marks are handled in Versaworks(Roland's RIP) after export from Flexi. Basically a closed system... Just added a Mimaki JV400LX and am using Rasterlink (Mimaki's RIP) with it. This is a...

Thank you for the info Pat! I will give those threads a thorough read. After a day of training I couldn't agree more. I hear the call of the flatbed already! One thing at a time... We settled on the Mimaki JFX200.

New flatbed being installed today... Based on testing samples, we feel comfortable cutting down corrugated plastic, PVC, foam panels, etc. after printing. Aluminum, dibond and such is a different story. I'm sure our Fletcher material cutter will scratch the edges of the prints if cut after...

What is your shop's policy on installing stripe and decal kits that people purchase on the internet and bring to you to be installed? We rarely see genuine auto manufacturer kits. They are almost always basic racing stripes cut from Oracal vinyl... Nothing we couldn't have produced ourselves.

Thanks for the info guys. We subbed out the production of the sign faces to a large, fairly well know wholesaler of electrical signs, faces, channel letters, etc... The background and embossed lettering are all painted. Our customer has not said anything negative about it, but it just struck...

We just installed some replacement pan formed polycarbonate faces in an existing sign cabinet. The original faces were yellow with blue lettering. The yellow background illuminated as well as the blue lettering. On the new faces we installed there is a dark blue background with white text and a...
