Considering replacing our HP latex 26100 with the 365, any issues we should be aware of TIA? We are hoping to use it for printing on DG and HIP reflective material for traffic signage, currently using vinyl and EC film.

Hi there, we did get one recently but thanks for asking. Good luck on the move.

Hi anyone using a highway handyman for sheeting and legends, have seen a bunch of videos but would like to discuss pros and cons for a sign shop that deals with a lot of parking lot and hiway signage

More great advice! Thanks. yes it is very nice to have a printer printing and a plotter plotting while other things can be done. As it is now when metal is being cut with the shear the operator is right there the whole time. I wonder if some shops still use a 4x8 shear and they have a smaller...
