we have the diage solo laminater the 54" one and its great for mounting...no problems, but were having a hell of a time getting it to laminate a print with out creases coming in at about a foot or so! i had a roland tech whos been in the sign business for 20 odd years try it and he laminates...

hey malkin, yeah, agreed if i had to do it all again from scratch!! i got i plotter first(cx24) then 2 years later looked at a printer. it took me roughly nearly a year to finally decide what to get. i went to distributers of both gerber and roland, i went to see them in production at sign shops...

well, you have to work out what your client base will be. are you looking at doing more banners/genreal signage or some smaller items? if i were you and limited on space i would look into something like a roland sp300. if you can push it i would always recommend the 54" version, however i have...

minimum 150 ppi at output size. ask for either .eps / AI / .pdf files or if they have the image in a vector format of some sorts(.eps etc) if they want to send a picture/photo if they have it in RGB format then thats better.

been asked to quote on a hundred + post cards for a regular customer of ours. now i've never done post cards before, and to be honest the first thing that comes to mind is vista print or the local sir speedy do them...as its more a print press type thing i guess. i just woundered if its...

oh and the clear shiled, how do you apply it? you spray it on?? or use a brush? and may sound like a dumb question but............ if you use it on a rear window and then want to take of the graphic, how hard is it to take off the clear shield where it has gone through the holes? can you just...
