K.A.S.; Thanks for your reply. How long have you had your machine? Any problems? Who is your supplier? Hartville Kitchen anywhere near you? Mind if I call or stop by to see your machine in action/ Thanks.

Stan: thank you so much for your comments. Is there something in particular that you find unsatisfactory about the "Not as good as it can be for fine quality printing, thing decal and vinyl printing (aka wraps and stuff)"? Just wondering?

Replacement head for the JV33 is $2784.00 plus labor. But there is only one head to be replaced, not three or four like many other machines.

SqueeGee: Thanks for your info. Until I secure the equipment {if I buy it} I can't say what the exact price is. However, I am aware of what they sell for new, and this unit is only 13 months old with exceptional care. The price is almost stupid cheap, but I know the machine, and its' condition...

Thanks for your feed back. Fast I don't need right now. Reliable is more important.

:signs101: I have a chance to pick up one of these, and would REALLY appreciate ANY feed back on the pros and cons of this printer. Please NO THREAD pirates! I need info A.S.A.P. because I only have a very narrow window of opportunity on this unit. {like 6 hours to make a decision}. It is a...

Lyle: Thanks for the report on your progress on the conversion. I am doing the same thing, but have decided to take a different approach to the heater install. If I understand what you plan on doing, you are going to use a "dimmer switch" to regulate the final heat setting? And some type of...

This is going to get UGLY! Real fast.:clapping::covereyes::ROFLMAO:

Hi Ron, I see your 1st post is made at 1:34 a.m.. What's happening? Something on the late night infomercials catch your eye? BTW: Welcome to Signs 101. Perhaps you might want to start out with this item...

I own several. Have know how to use them since 1959. Don't have much use for them now, though I occasionally do pull one out to check drawings. Thanks OP.

Example Here is an example. 3 4'x8' layouts on a 8.5"x11" sheet. They are all created at a10 to 1 ratio. I set each layout up as 9.6" X 4.8". When they are output I set them up to load at 1000% of original size.

Perhaps the point you want to consider is that no matter how big you make your drawing, it is still constrained to the size of your monitor. There fore you have to zoom out on your monitor to view your drawing, correct? Working in scale just offers you the option of seeing your work "a little...

Am I understanding that you have a monitor that is over 2010" wide?:ROFLMAO: How tall is it??:ROFLMAO: Just pulling your leg a little! The point I have been advancing to you is that we still need to be able to fit our illustrations on to the monitor that we work on, or configure the out put...

Hey OP; How big is your printer? How big is your plotter? Like to see you handle the vinyl roll that would cut you a sign 150' wide )))))) So even if Corel has a bigger page size, it becomes a mute point when your out put is limited to your plotter/printer size isn't it? So yours is bigger...

Signmeup: What are you creating that is larger than 227" in either direction? If you want to use Illustrator { my personal design program of choice} Just draw it in a comfortable "scale" size {like 1/4 scale} then tell the producer of the work, to enlarge it by 400%, and your work will be...

OOPS!! double Post

I have a CJ500 that I am converting to solvent ink. While I am waiting for the parts to arrive, can I use this unit as a plotter WITHOUT THE INK CARTRIDGES INSTALLED? I got the unit without cartridges, and have it all cleaned up ready for the conversion. I would like to check out the plotter...

Anyone familiar with after market inks for the Roland CJ500/ I am converting one over to run eco solvent, and would like your feed back regarding the types of ink you are running. I just found a site selling a brand called WINCOM. Anyone know anything about them? Also where are you finding the...

Dave: Thanks so much for the response. Where do you get the heads and parts at such reasonable prices/ Could you PM me with a phone number? I would like to talk to you personally. thanks, Bob

I have a Roland CJ500 that I am converting to eco solvent ink. Does anyone know what the flushing solution that Roland sells is made of? Is it just a glorified distilled water? or are there some specific chemicals that are used to REALLY clean the ink lines and heads WITHOUT screwing up the...
