  1. One More Laminator Post And I'm Done!

    Lyle....Is your 52" model from masterwarehouse.com? Or is it "similar". I've been hearing the Ding Tec units are okay but is this unit made by Ding Tec? Does it even matter? All these Chinese units look about the same and this one is $1,000 less than the unit from Pacific Coast Paint. I...
  2. One More Laminator Post And I'm Done!

    On second thought....I think the Ding Tec looks better for the money. Decisions....decisions.
  3. One More Laminator Post And I'm Done!

    The argument to buy a Daige is valid since parts are accessible and it does look easy to fix. Maybe this is the way to go for now with a 65"? If I have any problems at least I can scream at my rep from Beacon! If there's any others out there using a Daige on a daily basis, especially on larger...
  4. One More Laminator Post And I'm Done!

    Any opinions on this laminator and the company that sells it???: http://www.masterwarehouse.com/default2.html?gclid=CKeO-M_BtosCFScNZwodnkyEyg Its pretty cheap and "looks" better than a Daige as I need to save some money for now after just dropping a ton of cash on a new Roland 540. What's...
  5. Versacamm and a Mac?

    If you're that concerned with the processing speed of the PC used to drive your printer, the best advice is to keep that computer strictly for running the RIP and not to use it for other work....ever. Also, for the ultimate speed configure this computer with 2 internal hard drives as a "RAID...
  6. Versacamm and a Mac?

    Although I'm very new to this....I'm very experienced with the computer end of things. First of all...Versaworks requires a Windows based machine to run. Due to the nature of this program...which is basically a RIP, I wouldn't count on it running correctly on the Intel based Mac with Windows...
  7. Which Laminator Should I Buy?

    Tons of great advice guys...I appreciate it! Going to spend a few additional weeks researching prior to actually buying. Right now I really can't go $20,000 for a high-end laminator though...gotta keep it to about $5K - $6K tops. Setting this fairly substantial shop up without any...
  8. Which Laminator Should I Buy?

    Is this laminator a Chinese model? http://www.signsupplyusa.com/product%20info/ProLam-cold-flyer.jpg Just wondering...the sales guy at Sign Supply USA is telling me its a great machine for $4,995.
  9. Which Laminator Should I Buy?

    Exactly what laminator is this BU-1600 II and where can I see it? I just got off the phone with Sign Supply USA regarding their SS Pro-Lam 63" cold laminator. Price $4,995. At least this looks like a real machine when compared to that Daige unit (not buying the Daige...no frigin way). I'm...
  10. Which Laminator Should I Buy?

    Was just looking at this "Pro Lam" sold by Sign Supply USA and the "Enduralam" sold by Signwarehouse...these appear very similar. Any experiences or recommendations on these?

I absolutely need a machine that can do a good job without...
  12. Photoshop print/cut flow?

    Hey Flat Rock Stan Good luck with your purchase of the SolJet Pro 540! Tell you wife it cost $10k! I just ordered mine today. I also looked at the Versacamm and to me, the differences between the machines are dramatic. They threw in the auxilary heater/blower, a set of inks and $1,500 off...
  13. Photoshop print/cut flow?

    Although I'm new to the signage business, have been screenprinting since 1978 and have used and written color separation programs, such as QuikSeps for Photoshop since version 1.0. Regarding a vector cutting path from your Photoshop image, all you have to do is make a safe working duplicate...
  14. SolJet III or Versacamm?

    I would hold off till after this Las Vegas show. After poking around a little and making a few calls I pretty much verified a new Versacamm is being introduced next month. Regardless I've decided to go with the SolJet. Thanks.
  15. SolJet III or Versacamm?

    Screenprinter here about to buy a vinyl printer/cutter and am totally new to the sign/decal etc. business. Anyhow, was looking at the Versacamm and was about to buy one until I checked out the SolJet Pro III XC-540. I'll basically be using this initially to do stock and custom decals. Am I...
