Thanks Fivestar. It will be next Saturday before I go get it, but I think I did alright. It only has 200 hours on it. I am waiting on him to get me the dimensions of the printer alone, unless you guys happen to know.

Yes, by all means on the heads being secured. Maybe I should just go ahead and buy the lumber and make a nice box for it lined with that foam. Hell that would be as good as them riding around in the back of freight trucks wouldn't it? Thought about loading some weight in the trailer so it will...

So what do you do when you have a '02 Ford Explorer and a 5 x 10 trailer and the trip is 330 miles? I could just get it in the Explorer with stand apart if I have to, but that is 91 inches of printer. Better to put it in a trailer, on or off the stand? My fear is the trailers rough ride.

I finally found a bit of history on the VP models and they were apparently high performance printers for a few years. Now I see the SPi models are using the VP plastic cases. Finding used SP or VP here in N.C. is not to good. Most are 300 to 500 miles away...

Can anyone tell me when the VP models came out, and when did it stop? The SP models been out longer, right? I know where a VP540 is for 10k but before I call him I was wondering what happened to the VP's? Do you feel they were a good reason to stop building them or should Roland kept them going?

I picked up a Stahls 16x20 Mightypress on craigslist for $300. He gave me a couple hundered transfers and the bottom plate had a teflon cover. Craigslist is also where I bought 2 Graphtec cutters and a Ryonet screen press with exposure box. Saved a bunch of money. If your gonna use craigslist...

Well even the 651 showed the black thru it, but it was better. Funny thing I could hold the cheap stuff and the 651 upto a light and you couldn't see any difference. But if you moved so you could see the bulb filaments thu the vinyl, the 651 blocked it better. Since these are car tags it look...

Yes the ride was worth it. My wife and I both agreed on meeting you first, and it was because you replied so fast to my email.:thumb: Now to find the funds for a printer.:smile:

It may just be me but when the OP put in his title it is heat transfers to me dont mean heat applied vinyl. Two totally different things and how its applied.

I've had good luck with JPSS and a Epson R1900 pigment ink printer. And it does really nice mouse pads.

Well I can see how take up reels can be a problem in the way they work. I think your right that gravity is probably the best method. But not practical. Seems to me two independent wheels pulling on each corner would be better than a single tube. Course the wheels would need some sort of viscous...

Gene, Well thats sounds about the way it would be. Right when you think you can leave it. So I can see it now, get a new printer, load it, send to print, and then sit and stare at it in fear. Some stress here?

I guess I would have never thought that banner material being stiff enough to hurt a head, or would just slide over it. I know how Epson R1900 heads look out of a printer but I never thought they were that sensitive.

So the heat makes the material buckle up? How does the heavy roll cause the material to raise? Is this usually vinyl, or banner, or both?

Dont have a printer yet, but I was just wondering what is the biggest reason for head strikes. It seems to strike fear into everyone when they think it has happened. What can be done to help eliminate it? I'm going tomorrow to see a SP-540 demonstration and I know I am gonna want it.:smile:

:Welcome:, and hello from the mountains of N.C.

Well turns out the 651 is better.:thumb: Why does this site not like my Firefox!:banghead:

Thanks Bobby. I was just trying to see the actual building or store front from the satellite or street view.

You said Peach State Auto Auction.

Yea, thats what I said, the peach state auto auction across from the best buy and lowes. Your mapquest puts you way down next to the phoenix sports academy way past the maxie chevy dealer.
