Hello all - well, I'm in Indianapolis right now, and I'm hanging out and checking everything out... and we've decided that we're going to go with a Roland printer, BUT... ... I've boiled it down to two setups and I'd like some input from everyone here. The first setup is the just the VS540...

I know I'm new here and late in the conversation, but - I think I know what Techman is getting on about. I've got a client - someone we go to church with - that I'm basically giving some work away to (designing and cutting a bench) for her hair salon. Well, I might be working for free on...

They actually have this image as a 195mb tiff file...

Wiki Media Commons has a ton of royalty free images - you can also look at the library of congress ( http://www.loc.gov/pictures ) Mind you, the library of congress isn't 'free', we all pay for it over and over and over again so don't feel bad about using the images... you've paid for them, but...

To perceive victory when it is known to all is not really skilful… It does not take much strength to lift a hair, it does not take sharp eyes to see the sun and moon, it does not take sharp ears to hear the thunderclap

You’re right – and , IMHO, the newer guys not being on the same level as the experienced guys probably has more to do with business experience than sign experience. How to treat customers, how to treat employees, how to establish policies and procedures, how to make sure your taxes are paid, how...

That's assuming that they're not working for someone who doesn't know their vectors from their bitmaps - or -as you put it - you're not working for the CRUD. The simple fact is that, no matter what industry you're in - most startups are going to go bust. I know - I was one. I was a GREAT...

I know I'm new around here - and only really been making any kind of signs for the last year or so... but I'll toss my opinion in here nonetheless. I look at it from a little different point of view. Even though I'm still on the new side when it comes to the sign business, I'm certainly not...

I saw the VersaArt RE-640 on the Roland DG site, I guess it was released in April? Their site says that it's a 64" dual CMYK printer with a MSRP of $17 grand... ...anyone know anything more on this model? If it's worth the money, then a 64" printer + cutter + laminator could be the most...

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=500&offset=0&redirs=0&profile=default&search=pin+up Wikimedia commons is a good place to find public domain files... caution though - a search for 'pin-ups' does bring up all sorts of images... browse at your own risk.

Well, I'm fighting this same battle in my head (I'm going to Indy next week to look at everything up close) - BUT - from what I can tell, they're both really close - except for the RIP software & media profiles, Roland wins hands down (from what I gather) Roland also wins with the CMYKKYMC...

Hotwire foam factory has a lot of stuff

We've moved to to laptops - good laptops - mine is a 2 year old Acer with a dual core i3 processor - my wife has a new Acer ultra book i5 processor. The idea is that we can travel well with them - all of our work files are on a server so that we can access them from any computer, and if we're...

I have all that on my router - I have a laser that I use to register my machine with, as a matter of fact, my table is only 4'x4', but I pulled off a 14' football field and a 6' basketball court for a bar counter top that just went into a new sportsbar. They're about to be releasing their...

Oh, let me muddy the water a bit - first of all, the CW, for what it is, seems like a decent machine - for what it is, but the simple fact is tha you won't be able to do a 4'x8' sign with a 3-4" Z on a CW. If you accept the limitation of the CW - which is mainly size, horse power and speed -...

I actually grew up in Texas - and I still spend about half my time in Texas, one of the running jokes that we all made to friends in Oklahoma was that Texas would soon have the largest zoo in the world - as soon as the fenced in OK... ... now I live here. It's all my wife's fault...

No sir, I am on Sawmill Creek and Camheads though - I do poke around the SB forum for ideas and inspiration... but I went with the yellow guys.

Wow, thanks all!!

Sorry, I couldn't resist the Thunder thing... I'm not a particularly huge B-Ball fan, but OK has to have something right? Alright, I'm Brad - owner, IT support, janitor and most everything else at our little shop in a little town named Elk City, OK. My wife Andrea is the boss though - and I...
