I am in the process of switching over from Activity to SignVox and can tell you I have no hesitations of using Cloud software. I can sit at home on my ipad and have all the access like I am at my office. I can update pricing, look at sales and work on prospecting. So much easier than...

larrybouley Thanks!

Try Soileau printing in Beaumont, TX who can print the union bug. They screen print coro signs.

I have a Brother GT-541 t-shirt printer and can knock them out. They would look best on a white or light colored shirt. If you send me the file as a jpeg I can print a sample and email you a photo of it.

I like it.

We've used them with 1/2" coroplast. Size was 2' wide x 4' tall and customer was happy. Only drawback is they tend to rock a little back and forth. 3' x 5' may be a little big.

How would you feel if you dropped $100K on a UV printer and were told this new UV ink will hold up 3+ years outdoor with no over laminate. You buy the printer and 6 months later you have customers returning signs which are fading. I guess in Texas, the Gerber ink does not work well. I...

Here is a FAQ from Gerber's website. Q: What is the outdoor durability of the Solara ion prints? A: Graphics created by the Gerber Solara ion are outdoor-durable for up to three years. However, environment and application will determine the ultimate outdoor life span and may result in outdoor...

Looks like a perfect time to try out Avery's wrap products. I've heard good things about Avery from a couple of installers.

I'm a big Roland fan but do not see this selling well. Only 133 sf/hour. Let's see what the actual numbers are as we know published numbers are always higher. I wonder what the ink costs are. For the money I would look at the HP FB500 which is showing 398 sf/hour and only $30k more. The HP...

I owned a Ion and ended up having Gerber buying it back because of all the issues I had with it. There were 3 other machines near me and most of the time there was a Gerber technician working on one of the machines. I bet all of the warranty work made them unprofitable especially when sales...

Korographics prints well on the Roland. I've used abaco beach which has a pretty smooth surface. Installs just like regular wallpaper.

I had the same problem with banding and was using Solaris inks so I ended up switching back to Roland inks. The cost savings was not there when you figured all of the reprints and the wasted ink with cleaning cycles. I talked to the people who package Solaris ink and they told me it is...

We have had the same issues with many other papers we print on. Last batch we tried the Roland paper material and it printed better. I think there is a profile you can use which matches the media. Print was still a little tacky but better than other profiles.

We print everything with heads down except for banner material which is raised and guides are used. Your print quality will improve with heads down. Another problem with printing with the heads up is you will have overspray making a mess along the entire carriage length which could end up...

More than likely it sounds like a head going bad. If you have been running the printer non stop for 2 years you may have a bad head. Even a bad head will have a good test print. Your Roland tech can run sample prints which can tell. We have had our printer for 4 years and run it every day...

Grimco sells it

Grimco sells .010 pvc white matte material in rolls 52" wide. Prints nice on our Roland.

Yep I've had the same problems with Arlon. The vinyl separates from the adhesive and almost falls off the vehicle. I have replaced those jobs with 3M.

I have not had good luck with Arlon. Had to redo 6+ jobs from using Arlon. The vinyl ended up peeling back from the adhesive and leaving grey residue. Used it mostly for box trucks and logos on vans. For flat panel applications, I mostly use Oracal 3165 Rapid Air and have not had any problems.
