We don't typically do vehicle wraps, but had a job land in our lap that we are looking to take on. We want to print and install the vinyl, but have a 3rd party do the design. Are there any good free lance designers that specialize in vehicle wraps? If so, could somebody point me in the right...

Stimpson. We have had ours for 10+ years and never had an issue. Heavy duty and reliable.

Running the GS-6000 and Graphtec plotter as well. We share the same frustrations mentioned, but are still trying to work with it. We have made several calls and even had a graphtec techinician come to our facility, but diagnosed it as user error. I am not convinced that it is user error but...

That is very neat looking. We rarely get requests for something like this, but I will definitely keep this in mind. Maybe we can create some requests for it. :smile:

Great choice of eqipment.

Are we really to the point where we have to ask how to cut a straight line? Not trying to bash the original poster, but good Lord! You print a cut line around the banner, trim it with a ruler/straight edge and grommet it. We have printed these by the thousands for short term indoor banners...

We produce a lot of these for banks on sintra and on polystyrene. We are not a merchant member, but would happy to quote them for you if you have trouble finding a mm to produce these.

I could not imagine buying a $10,000 router to make business cards. I am all for keeping business in house, but in this case: sub it out. And like Custom Grafix said, routing is not the method to making these.

We printed 3k of these a few months ago for a local bank. We digitally printed second surface to clear static cling, ran it through the plotter (cut to shape) and then screen printed a white flood back up. When your done, you can weed the excess or leave it (your preference). Pretty easy and...

We did this and I believe we changed the frequency to every 24 hours.

We have 2 Seybold 51" cutters that are very strong. We cut 3" stacks of 48"x96"x.060 white styrene at a time. I dont know what we would do with out them.

I would not chase this as more than likely that is a porcelain sign. You will not be able to touch the longevity/quality of a porcelain sign with a digital print no matter what vinyl/laminate combo you use. Porcelain is a glass ink that is printed onto steel and then baked in an oven. Very...

I have nothing to do with production, but I will tell you what our guy in digital has told me. We have been running a GS6000 since August and had the same concerns as you, but put those to rest. As far as the ink waste, we were noticing A LOT of ink waste after only having the printer a few...

We get head strikes every now and then if we are running some sort of cheap material, but for the most part we don't have any head strikes. Like Astro said, we run full rolls of Bantex 18oz (extremely heavy duty) with out any problems. We always feed enough media through to where it almost...

We bought one in August and it has been great. Very low maintenance, excellent print quality and incredible color gamut. We have printed on a ton of different medias, all with great success. Fantastic machine!

When we had our motherboard replaced, all the settings were reset including the ink levels. We didn't notice this until after several days of printing. So we called Epson to ask if the printer would let us know when to change ink cartridges. They told us no, but we are sending you a full new...

The invisible tape helped, but this still has not solved the problem. Had I known that I would have to stand there and tape every darn corner mark that goes through the plotter, I would have never bought it. When you are running multiple rolls through the plotter at a time, this becomes a huge...

For $1,000 difference, most definitely go with Advantage. See the link above for tech support. As far as the graphtec plotter, we are not very happy with it. Everything on it works fine, but the eye/sensor was poorly designed. Like I mentioned above, we just had a run of 10k static cling...

I guess I was a bit misleading. I am very happy with Advantage and their service, but they are just one more step that I don't need. When you buy from Advantage it's like you have 2 choices of service companies. I can call Advantage and/or I can call Epson. When you call Advantage, you have...

Thanks for the feedback. Please tell me more about the Summa. Do you have any of the problems with the Summa that you had with the Graphtec?
