hello all! My old Mutoh 1204 is finally beyond repair... so I'm shopping for used printers (Ontario Canada) - There seems to be more Rolands available than most brands. Any opinions / problems? I'm currently looking at a VersaArt RS640. I thought I read somewhere that an error code on any...

Any recommendations for a wholesale vinyl printer, in Ontario? My old Mutoh Valuejet has quit working, and I'd like to just sub the work for now. Any recommendations and / or experience is appreciated!

I installed a brand new printer head on my VJ-1204A printer and now i get no ink at all any ideas a s to why

Hi all! Its been a long time since I've had a question I couldn't find an answer to here.. but here's one I'm stuck on. Recently updated to Flexi 19 - after doing the setup for my Mutoh VJ1204 the printer begins printing about an inch in from the right side (used to be about 1/4 inch) - I can't...

I can't think of any obvious reason.... But is there any reason not to simply use vinyl print media, in place of "white cut vinyl" just to save stocking extra inventory?

I'm looking for a company to print some 8 x 8 ft flex face (banner) in Ontario. Since I can only print 54 inches.... Any recommendations out there? Thanks!

whenever I start up / at the end of a print job - I get this error: "Life Times [CR Motor]" I just hit "Enter" and it clears... I'm assuming this is in reference to the carriage motor... but is it a built in timer, that I can reset somehow (because its working fine) or do I actually need to...

so, I am pretty much losing any lexan/plexigless/ back lit business I'm quoting on, to "Flex Face" panels. Which I have no experience in whatsoever. I've asked suppliers for "help" and got pretty much nowhere, then of course I remembered my best source for info - signs101! :) At this point, I...

to start at the start.... this an 8 year old ValueJet 1204. - the second black set of nozzles were not printing the bottom third of the lines on "nozzle check" - after looking things over, I decided my capping station (I think that's what its called...) was quite dirty, and maybe not making a...

I am looking for opinions / experience on the best way to print backlit panels. I don't do many of them, and just finished one (red / yellow text) that practically disappears when the lights come on :( Needless to say, customer is not impressed... The first "choices" I have to make are material...

anyone know a supplier in Canada (preferably Ontario) for those programmable / electronic sign panels? Not the full-on high def displays, but the ones that you program your own text into, with different effects available - they almost look like a panel of coloured LED lights. I actually don't...

anyone willing to take a stab at this one? Its actually for information signs, for Best Western - for some reason getting the info from them is like pulling hen's teeth! lol All I keep getting is "no, that's not right"....with no answer to tell me which it actually is! Thanks in advance! Conor

I'm trying to find these 2 fonts, with no luck at all! Any ideas? any help sure is appreciated! Thanks!

anyone have any recommendations / experience for a tool to cut radius corners on 3mm dibond/alupanel and maybe .060 gauge aluminum? Nothing too fancy or high volume... just to make it a little nicer / faster than sanding or filing. Thanks, Conor

wondering if anyone is using / tried CorelCAD for their 3D design work? I don't use Corel Draw a lot, but some, and its certainly quite a good program. I know there's many here who do most of their design work in Corel Draw though, so it seemed a natural extension, that some might use CorelCAD I...

I have an 18 foot box truck to wrap - just the two sides ( about 7 ft high). I don't do a lot of these, so I know I'm still on the bottom side of the learning curve.... but wondering how long most shops take to do this? I always seem to calculate waaaaay under.... But if I charged based how long...

so, setting up a new computer.... all is going well, except when I try to add my Summa D120 to the production manager. The plotter is on the list of course, but no "USB" option - only Com ports, etc. I'm sure I must have solved this before.... but for the life of me, I can't remember how! Any...

anyone have any good and/or simple ways to take a solid vector graphic (or text) and give it a "distressed" look? As in... cracks, faded areas, etc. The finished result would be for digital print, not for cutting. I'm using Flexi - but I could easily size the vector and export it - then edit it...

I'm curious if anyone has looked at / considered / or is using - any of the new 3 Dimensional printers for creating dimensional signage? (instead of CNC routing them) I know most aren't very big, however it seems like you could bond together "tiles" to do some amazing layouts?

I was all set to purchase a Fletcher FSC cutter - when I noticed the dimension / space requirements. 100in on a wall / 92 inch free standing. Where I do my "production" has low ceilings - max of 86 inches (and this is between joists! lol ) So short of moving.... would this still be a usable...
