anyone have experience with this? Thanks!

Whoa! just got an email responding to the one I sent this morning at 9 am. It said to call them tomorrow..... Feck That.

Why don't we pool the money we were going to spend in equipment and and sell it ourselves? im good for 30k. this is ridiculous.

2 major equipment suppliers and 1 local authorized dealer. 2 of which I've spent over 75k each with.

I'm in the market for a new printer. I've contacted 3 major suppliers. Cash in hand and no call backs over several days. Is business that good out there?

Hp doesn't even have an authorized dealer besides Grimco in the area. If there was an independents he probably only knows how to repair a 5500

Grimco in Akron?

I have an older, well used Xj-740 to move. The bad. It's seen better days cosmetically. Knife nicks and cuts. Ink stains, the spindles on the take up reels are worn. So the bolts don't work anymore. We just put in a roll and use clamps to keep rolls locked on. No big deal actually, doesn't...

I started in this industry using HP and now I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these. After 7 years of using only Roland for RTR. Everything about the 360 is hitting all the buttons to make users like me (on the Latex fence) switch with little hesitation. Roland just started a promo $6k off...

Those roller units are interesting. Seems like the kind of change that needs hands on experience to note the difference in workflow.

I recently did a direct to wood (maple ply) on my Agfa UV. No issues. Just has to be flat flat flat. I've also printed to nice maple veneers with really rich flaming and mounted to mdf. woodcraft sells the veneers. Came out fantastic. Can't photoshop the natural finish of wood and have it come...

Solvent ink, laminated.

There is also magnetic receiver rolls out there now too. Same as the printable stuff just attracts instead if repels.

If you are under warranty demand they fix it. I did this years ago with Roland, they tried 3 times to fix the machine, then replaced with a new unit. I never had any issues with them not responding as one would expect.

You are in Ohio too aren't you? I sent you an email

And of course my best client just got word that I left the biz and refuses to send work to my old partner. $200k worth of work just fell in my lap. What a roller coaster.

I view the storefront as billboard advertising. Thru networking if they use my business name to friends,colleagues, clients. They have to see my shop at some point and connect the dots.

It wasnt enough money to go crazy about, but it was enough to lose my trust in him going forward. sucks. We had a good thing going.

There in lies my quandry...Chicken or the egg. I still have to honor my llc agreement and do no harm to my former company so I can't solicit clients directly, tho if they find me they have the right to send business. Also I had to finance a portion of the business, so if he loses business he...

That is totally my plan. I'd like to do as little production on site as possible. Only enough to meet immediate and rush needs and present a proper production facade. Also I don't want to spend my time in production when I could be networking with people who would send me projects.
