  1. Price on new GS6000

    We bought ours bundled with a graphtec 64" plotter 3 months ago from advantage. We paid a bit more than what you are listing, but we also got a new plotter. After 3 months of having the machine running pretty much non stop, these are my thoughts: Quality: A+ We upgraded 3 older roll to roll...
  2. Cutting issues with Graphtec FC8000

    We have not. Thanks for the heads up. We will try it and report back with results.
  3. Cutting issues with Graphtec FC8000

    We are printing decals on a Epson gs6000 (colorburst rip) and cutting to shape with a Graphtec FC8000 (via Illustrator) and having reading issues. The plotter seems to read fine on any matte materials, but the second you throw any gloss on there it will not read the registration marks. Has...
  4. Welders - who uses them?

    We glue hem onesy/tuesy banners with h-66 from tubelite and outsource any large volume to a local awning shop ($.42 per linear foot for hem + grommets). I would outsource my banners to a welder if I could could get the same quality or better for a more competitive price. We have been...

  6. which printer is better, mimaki,mutoh,roland?

    This is true. Our shop has always taken pride in color management and now that we are running the Epson, we have saved so much time and money. Great machine!
  7. Pole Banner Printing, 1 vs 2 sided

    Bantex 18oz comes in 25 and 50 yard rolls. We print the 25 yard rolls pretty often and thats about as heavy a roll I want to put on our printer. Thats not to say your printer can't handle it, but I would imagine the 50 yard roll is pretty fricking heavy. In my opinion it is the best (also...
  8. Pictures of MX bikes you made graphics for!

    That is a sweet Husaberg!
  9. Anyone having this problem-GS6000

    Tech showed up with in 24 hours and had the machine up and running with in an hour. Printed for about 3 hours and then stopped and gave me an error code. Unplugged the printer for 15 minutes plugged it back in and it started right back up. Fast forward to this morning, we are right back at...
  10. Anyone having this problem-GS6000

    We have had our machine a little over a month and it has not skipped a beat until now. It was running at the end of the day yesterday, came in to start printing this morning and it is not laying down any ink at all. The heads run over the media like it's printing, but no ink. Called Epson...
  11. Anyone having this problem-GS6000

    I have never bought a printer from Grimco, but I would agree with Case. We are running a 64 bit operating system with our GS6000 and there are no problems. Our tech, did warn us on the front end that there had been a few small cases when trying to set up with the 64 bit but not to be...
  12. Anyone having this problem-GS6000

    Our machine was installed Monday/Tuesday of this week by Matthew of Advantage. Great guy that knows his stuff. We are still playing with several different medias to see what runs best. What brand of vinyl/banner materials is everybody running? Currently we are running Concept 201 for vinyl...
  13. Another New Epson GS6000

    Great to hear. We bougth ours from them and are having it installed Moday. Pretty excited!
  14. Football helmet decals, what material?

    Our customer went to some athletic store and they told him 3 weeks to have them produced. So he came to us wanting to know if we could do it any sooner. I told him that shouldn't be a problem, but I will have to research some materials first. So, here I am trying to find the best fit vinyl...
  15. Football helmet decals, what material?

    This is kind of what I figured, but the guy was told a minimum of 3 week lead time by his vendor which did not go over very well. This is a little bit out of our comfort zone, but would like to give it a shot. If anything it would be a good learning experience. Not much to risk, but a lot to...
  16. Football helmet decals, what material?

    A cutomer of ours is asking us to print some decals that he can apply to his football teams helmets. The decals only need to last 1 season (90 days) as they will send the helmets off to be refurbished once the season is over. We will be printing/cutting 1 image for each side of the helmet, a...
  17. Epson GS6000 Take up adjustment

    Great and thank you for the update!
  18. Epson GS6000 Take up adjustment

    Glad to hear that somebody has had some success with the take up bar. I will mention this to our installer on Monday and hopefully this will eliminate the issue from the get go. I don't for see us printing rolls at a time, but would like the peace of mind when we do.
  19. Epson GS6000

    Definitely a sweet deal. Still waiting to have ours installed through advantage, but I can say that they have been a joy to work with this far. We have the printer sitting in our shop waiting for set up next week and can't wait. I will post more details as they unfold.
  20. Epson GS6000

    We bought ours in a package deal with a plotter, rip, inks, installation and warranty so it would be hard to nail down the exact price we paid for the printer. $17,800 sounds like a pretty good deal, but like royster was saying, I would do some heavy researching to see what epson says about it...
