What kind of laminator do you all use? I am vacillating between a budget chinese laminator that I know will cause problems, an older used GBC/Seal/Royal, or bucking up for a new quality unit (unlikely). I wanted to get an idea of what kind of laminators everyone is using so please answer...

haha! You are right!! I guess I was expecting an issue and I read what I wanted to... All calibrated now and printing beautifully!!! thank you guys!

Ahh.. Ok... Thanks Woolly!

Hello all, I'm trying to work on my SJ540 and check the bias, vertical and horizontal head adjustments. I keep running in to the same problem with each test and it's driving me nuts. Every time I go to print a test-print the carriage moves to the left and stops, a message flashes that the "head...

Ballsy!! I am sure any new printer is going to produce awesome prints. I've never had and HP but I know a guy who swears by his and loves the latex non solvent option included in his stable of printers. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!!

Did I read that right? You bought a printer without knowing how it prints?

Hey Bigcat... Yeah it can laminate sheets... I am also looking to buy a laminator and I am in portland. I buy stuff from Pacific Coast Sign Supply all the time and they are pretty good people.. We should see if they'll give us a discount if we buy together..

For all those who are against the idea of tagging work what about offering an incentive to your customer to help promote your business. That way it doesn't seem like you are railroading them and they have a choice. idea:25-50 bucks off if you allow us to put our logo on...

Howdy! Yep.. Denco, PCSS, and Multicraft Plastics are who I use.. They'll all price match so check around if you are bargain hunting!!

Sure thing! PCSS is Pacific Coast Sign Supply. They are one of the Roland dealers in Portland. If you don't already know about them you should check them out. Denco is good too but they don't usually have used equipment for sale. Whatever you do, go soljet! I have an SJ540ex with bulk ink...

free market capitalism.. Don't worry though.. it will bite him in the *** sooner or later

do you use the cutmaster plugin or another rip to cut? I use the cut master plugin for illustrator with my old FC5100-150 and there is a specific setting in the advanced tab to set the weed border for the whole sticker.. if you are trying to offset the actual artwork just draw a path and use the...

Pat, Yep that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the input.

15 tutorials later and a sore brain and I think that I have it figured out...

Hello all. I'm new to the business and new to adobe PS and AI. I have a seemingly simple issue that is driving me nuts. A customer sent a PDF file for some window perf art. The file is 25''x7'' which is much smaller than the actual window (61''x22''). I resized the image -Canvas- in PS adding 2...

i have a graphtec and EVERYONE i know says go to a Summa.. Next plotter for me is a SUMMA

That makes complete sense. Thank you for the great advice!

I have an older Graphtec FC5100-150, using cutting master 2 to cut with. My problem is that if I print/cut a file that is 5'' x 5'' (native size) from illustrator and lay it out in cutting master 2 with the dimensions 5" x 5", the actual plot is way smaller (like 1" x 1"). In order to get an...

i found out that my USB connection was broken and was causing a low voltage short.. Effectively stopping communication between any port and the plotter.. After soldering in a new USB jack.. Its connected!!!! Now on to figuring out how to use the registration marks.. ARGH
