I just got the new sign warehouse catalog and it looks like they have a new desktop PrismJet DT system. 13" 8 color ink setup. Claims 3 years outdoor without lamination. No price for the printer by itself and you will still need a cutter. It is kinda slow, 13 minutes per sq ft in "normal" mode.

Was a 59 Cadillac that we restored/modified from a sedan to a coupe. Had to sell a couple years ago and miss her dearly. She is over in Australia now, somewhere near Brisbane if I remember correctly. Before and after pics attached.

I had an Epson 1280 before and would get so frustrated with the heads clogging. If you don't run prints everyday, the epsons will clog and you will waste ink doing head cleanings. The Ricoh GX's don't have this problem. Plus the speed of the Ricoh's is faster than the Epsons. The epson's do have...

So I've narrowed my purchase down to a Roland. Right now I have the following 3 options: Option 1 - $13,000 - Used SP-540i with a set of 220 inks and a roll of media. 90 day warranty with option to purchase year warranty for $1200 Option 2 - $15,000 - Used VS-420. Only a few months old...

I thought about Latex, especially with the deal I saw from Bigfish, but I don't have 220 connections. Otherwise I would be on it. I was looking into the SC540, one of my local dealers has a refurb one for about 12k. Just needed opinions on how it compares the the VP/SP's.

Thanks. I have a VE Q160 and a Q60 as a backup cutter. I want the print/cut for ease of use so I don't have to load/unload media when it isn't necessary. I don't plan on laminating the wall decals or short run decals.

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on an eco solvent machine and have some questions for members who have experience with the machines. I will mainly be using the machine for wall decals, short run decals and possibly wraps in the future. I've narrowed it down to the Mimaki CJV, the Roland...

Like Bob said search for a local blueprint or reprographics shop. We have 2 Kip 2200 36" color scanners. They scan up to 600 dpi. You could also look for a local photo shop as they should have a large format color scanner. We charge $10 a color scan, wish we could still charge the $6 sq ft for...

You get what you pay for. A decent manual Guillotine cutter is $1000+. I have that exact same model as picture, bought off ebay for around the same price. It is cheap and I feel like I am going to break the handle. The handle is hollow. If you put a large stack of paper to cut, you need to clamp...

Epsons are too much maintenance and hassle if you aren't using on a daily basis. I had 2 Epson 1280's running artainium inks that I replaced with a Ricoh GX 7000. The Ricoh is way quicker and haven't had to do the dreaded head cleaning routine once, even after the thing has sat for a month. The...

Coast Graphic Supply in Ventura, CA is where I got my Epson 1280 and Ricoh GX7000

Anyone have a Kip 80 or colorwave installed? Pros and cons? We do a lot of CAD drawings and are heading towards the KIP 80 as it seems to be the all around machine. We hope to expand into the POP market with the Kip 80.

Why not just ask the customer what their deadline is to see if its within your workload? If its not within your timeframe, then you can try to upsell a rush charge. My question is you guys that say 5 days turnaround, if you really have that much work that it will take 5 days to get to, why not...

I have 2 1280s in the garage collecting dust that were working fine when I put them there. I can take one apart or ship you the whole printer. Make me an offer.

Not so much the words and sayings, but more on the graphic side, i.e. trees, birds, cityscapes and so on.

Was wondering if anyone had or knew of any companies that sell compilations of clipart specifically geared towards wall art?

Looking to add a laminator to the shop. We are more of a print shop than a sign shop so most of the prints would be mounted to foamcore or laminated with thermal films. Got a quote from a local supplier for a D&K EXP 42 Plus Laminator. Price seems decent, but wanted to see if anyone had first...

It is almost fully contained. Although it did get a little too close for comfort. I live about 7 blocks away from the border of the evacuation order line and my shop was about 12 blocks away. Here's a photo from my driveway last Thursday night.

Just found the forum. Our main business is custom cars, but I've been doing vinyl for almost 10 years. Started out in 1999 with a Stika 15" cutter in my bedroom and they moved up to a Graphtec 24" CE. Sold that and got out of vinyl for a couple years. Then picked up a cheap $300 24" cutter on...
