:goodpost: Very good post, I like the reference to the fence. I have always charged for the design part of any job separately, mostly because that's all I did before branching out into the sign world. When I do wrap jobs, the design fee is totally separate from the wrap price, and it varies on...

Not sure what your intended use is, however when I wanted to print on poster material I wanted to use the Roland material, when I contacted Roland they told me they discontinued the poster paper. I searched around and found a great company called Fisher Textiles, they sell several different...

I agree with all the comments about Chinese printers, and would NOT go that route. There are always good deals for printers on ebay, you could get a nice used Roland for under 5K and have money left over. Here is a good printer with extra print head for 5.5K, but the seller will take BEST...

:ROFLMAO: :goodpost: Rick, I like a man that says what he means and means what he says.... I'm with you 1000% on this issue. :smile:

The OP wants rolling cart media holder, that would act as a take-up reel in front of the printer (80' of media), then be able to roll it to one of his cutters... Your idea is stationary, not mobile... :smile:

Ok, NOW ROLL it over to the your printer like the OP requested and then you got something.. I know, you'll go out side the farm house, get a wagon, bring it inside and assemble you contraption on top of a couple of milk creates in the wagon, oh wait, the wagon is NOT 54"+ long so that doesn't...

Well, broom handles must be REAL LONG in Canada, cause here in the US the average broom handle is only 42" long.....soooo you would NOT be able to make a media roll cart (like I suggested) for 54" wide media as the OP wanted!!:banghead: I'll stick to the 10' PVC pipe for $4 that can be cut to...

Ok, along with the splinters, you will save the $4, so you can make yours for $26.......:banghead: The 2" dia. PVC pipe will look better (more professional), be more ridged, and you can use standard pipe fittings on the end like the PVC cap (below), to slip on the ends of the pipe to secure...

Ok, I priced it out for less than $30 in materials and maybe an hour of your time, see drawing below. Two 2x4 8' long $7 One 2" PVC PIPE 10' long $4 Four 3" casters with brakes $15 3' Screws http://www.harborfreight.com/3-inch-swivel-caster-with-lock-95356.html#.Ux-XJvldVvA

Yep, before I forked over $220 for those Gerber do-dads, I would make something like shown below. Besides, the OP said he wanted it to roll around, so that he could move it from printer to table, you could actually modify the one below with longer side frames and add 4 cheap casters from Harbor...

Really, those cost over $100 each ($200 plus shipping) and DON'T roll around like you wanted. Besides they are light weight and made to hold 15" Gerber edge material! You could make something like that out of 2x4's and a piece of PVC pipe for $20 and 15miinutes.....:banghead: :thumb:

I don't know of anything like that in our industry, however you could use a MOBILE SHRINK FILM DISPENSER...

Ok, I sent you the contact info by PM.... :thumb:

I would have the same pricing questions you have in this situation, although I have had my wide format printer 6 years, most of my previous 20 years in the graphics business has been in offset and screen printing industry, both well suited for high volume copies of the same image (project)...

Plain and simple you're getting screwed! POV are NOT meant to be company vehicles, no way no how! Like mentioned above, what if you are involved in a major auto accident, then what will your insurance company do when they find out you were on company business for you boss, will they still...

Nice idea, however I don't like the dark BLUE background (to dark), not enough separation between the text and background, and the blue clashes with some of the type face colors. I duplicated you chart adding a neutral gray background and find it much easier to read and the separation around...

:goodpost: YEP, that's what I do, if you are serious about being in this business, you have to operate like a real business. I have a set of 440's in my printer and one full set of 440's and 3 colors of another 440 set on standby, along with several 220's just because I got them for $30 each...

Make sure your CutContour is a single stroke and in the top layer and the name of the layer needs to be exact text and case as shown in BOLD! :thumb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyTQgGQJU1U
