Our 5500 is running on postershop 6 and I see no real reason to change that. It just works and makes great prints. We have 3 other fully updated versions of onyx/production house for newer machines, hence the higher version. For us it works fine. If you need to blow $2k go ahead but it's not...

I have had great success with freightquote.com. Easy, cheap, all online or you can call em. See a bunch of quotes and pick your carrier. It' stupid easy.

Anyone remember the thread about a new flatbed capable of printing 500 FEET per minute - roughly 1 sheet per second (not a typo) via array printheads? I can't find the thread but a bunch of folks called bs on it calling it impossible. Well, today I had some printed samples from the...

The bummer is that stupid rocker stripe. To do it right involves a lot of extra time-cleaning, and either on knees, your but, a creeper, or a low rolling stool. Either way that's the time eater-upper here. The rest of the install is cake. To do that stripe right and not have it haunt you later...

I see nothing wrong with doing 200 of these around $125 each. 2 guys plus a supervisor/runner/quality checker and this job is a home run. If you want I know a few independent guys who might be into helping you. this is assuming you are not doing that stripe along the rocker panel, I'd add $$ for...

John if you need edge help with the edge, give me a shout. I bought one new 16 years ago and even with all of our inkjet goodies, we still use it. I just cant seem to want to part with her, even though her usage is way down. It would be perfect for what you want to do-use it whenever, no maint...

Hi there folks! I'm looking for someone to do a survey on a machine in St louis. I'll basically need a bunch of photos, a video if you have a flip or similar, and a check of a few key things on an inventory list. It's like a sign survey but you're looking at a big printer, instead. nothing...

Insignia hit the nail on the head. Do what he said and you'll be fine. John's inline suggestion also creates a cool halo effect, just use Mike's printing technique and cut accordingly.

Hey there Well, I wish I could tell you we have had good results with sun. Besides odor, head and filter clogging were a real issue. We switched to nazdar LWU7400 and have been very pleased. It does smell a bit like a pumpkin, but its nothing like the sun ink and no more clogging. PM me and I...

I really doubt it's a table feed issue too. It looks like jets out or ink starvation. There's waviness in each pass width. Have you checked your head alignments-front and back particularly? It may be that the heads are aligned fine and your jets are able to fire, but you may also have to raise...

well, folks, it won't take you long to walk the show......aisles are pretty short there really aren't many at all. It's a shame, actually. Hopefully the seminars are still a draw. I think USSC priced themselves out of the market (from an exhibitors standpoint) vs return on investment as far as...

If anyone needs/wants a travel/coffee break and wants to stop in, I'm on the way for most of you. Have samples, candy, coffee and camaraderie and the big toy printing away. Stop on in and say hi! I'm only a few minutes off of the parkway.

yup, prices are there. It's a small distributor, looking for his niche, I guess. It's gotta be tough to compete selling oracal against the big guys. I suppose for a small shop he might be competitive, but in the volume I buy his numbers dont work and I was honest with him about it. I...

As if this business isn't fun enough, now a whole bunch of us are gonna have peeps bringing us vinyl to cut? I appreciate the fact that this supplier needs business, but this? Carry on http://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/bfs/2084765638.html...

I gave it a chance just to make sure it wasn't a true deaf caller. I hung up when 1. the caller was from california, 2, they were buying a van in Chicago 3. using a shipper to drop it at my shop 4. wanted it wrapped. 5. have a shipper pick it up and ship it back to cali. I'm done! I feel bad...

Man oh man, I couldn't agree more on all of the above!

This works awesome, too. Similar to the zapper, has a bit wider swath. Same mess, though. It will tear through old cracked vinyl with ease. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Marine/Home/Products/Catalog/?PC_7_RJH9U5230GE3E02LECIE20S4K7_nid=GS7XL3MMP8gs4CCRDFQ26Jgl4Z8ZC3JP23bl

Thanks for the Props, John! FWIW, we print a lot of pump toppers for other shops. Send over specs rick@typestries.com
