  4. Roll to Roll UV Printer Purchase

    So I've been thinking about adding a UV printer so I can do spot gloss effects on stickers or short run label work I do. I have room for a 54" but it would make things rather cramped with it being next to my S40600. So I've been looking at the Mimaki UCJV300 series because I can get the 75...
  5. Suggestions Website, sales, marketing...etc

    Since I'm in a slow period right now I've been thinking about a website again. All of my business comes from a social media channel and word of mouth advertising.

    Not sign related, but I don't have any peers to talk to about this. So a couple of months ago I had a customer reach out about doing a bunch of work through me.

    So I'm trying to setup my new system and getting everything configured. Seems as Onyx has removed all the downloads for patches/updates to cutters to this program and anything legacy.

  11. Drytac Polar Chrome Alternative

    As the subject line states. I'm looking for an alternative to Drytac polar chrome. I like the subtle metallic look of it but it's a bit pricey for the small product labels I'm using it for.

  12. Raster to vector conversion software
