Cheers from Houston!

Yea, bad things happened. The thing broke off inside the slot and you can guess whose job it was to fix it. Big fun. Anyway, it's just not a good idea. From a tech perspective, OEM is the way to go on almost any machine. The only exception I would make is one particular brand of aftermarket ink...

I wouldn't recommend using the 440s on the 48" ValueJet. The VJ is not designed to support them. Our company had a customer that was using them. Someone bumped into one as they were walking by and bad things happened.

The media cost will usually range from 16 cents per square foot for an economy scrim to 40 cents per square foot for a high end scrim. Adhesive backed vinyls are anywhere from 19 cents per square foot to $4 per square foot. You get what you pay for. The ink cost is usually between 14 cents or 16...

I don't work for a sign shop. I work in testing and tech for a dealer. We were testing it with the canyon banners and profiling on the other ones. You can see the picture with the girl in blue had us all over the color spectrum. It was hilarious. Carlos had the first print with her skin damned...

Oops, I forgot to upload the pics. Honestly, I don't see much similarity between our Spitfire and the Falcon II. The Spitfire is very similar to the Toucan LT, though. And we haven't had any issues with firmware. There was some issue with its cooperation with the RIP software (Onyx) but our...

I've tracked it at 145 before but a speed of 140 is the average. That's the setting we usually run the VJ on.

Our company just got the Mutoh Spitfire in the demo room and... wow. It is really fast. Also, and maybe I'm just a lightweight, but the room is a bit of an acquired taste (tolerance) even when its vented. It is definitely in a completely different class than any eco-solvent printer out there...

I run a 13oz Diamond Shield Scrim. Good stuff.

You don't hear that too often! Cheers and welcome!

I was under the impression that most companies gave free phone support without time restraints.

That isn't entirely true but it does depend on the circumstances. Also, "Free installation DVD!" is usually replaced with "Free on-site setup and training!" on the 'ValueJet'. If you want a cheap printer, buy the PrismJet. If you want service, buy the ValueJet. I think that has been said enough...

That's where the difference between the ValueJet and the 'PrismJet' shows up.

I run a VJ in our showroom and I don't use any setting other than 140 sfph unless it is for a photographer or artist. I usually put it at 4 pass for that. It's the I2 print pattern that lets it print good at its top speed. Also, I only run 48" media on it. Not hard to find at all. False notion...

For just trying to figure out what the hell you're doing, Oracal is aiming too high. Toss a roll of Neschen or GMI on there.

Get a different machine. By looking at that machine (Ebay, I presume) I can tell you it is not in a condition that I would pay $1,000 for when there are other options out there. Canon has some low cost options out there but you won't get a decent piece of equipment for less than $4,000 at the...

Welcome from the Lone Star State!

In Florida, no. You can expect to get about a year with lamination. Thank the South's nice, warm, beautiful weather.

Shotgun shells are lovely, too. Cranky guests regain their manners when they find you have a ready lupara behind the counter. In all seriousness, though, a shop owner really should keep some sort of defense item at arm's reach. The life you save could be your own. Especially with some of the...

Yeah, that's almost criminal.
