Hello, I am a manager with a commercial printer in Southern Oregon. We've been in business now for over 30 years but have just recently started into a new market, point of purchase... more specifically wide format signage. Our newest piece of equipment is a VUTEk QS 3200 which can print up to 120" in width and pretty much any length you want. We have years of experience with conventional sheetfed and web printing along with digital printing, but this is our first endeavor into wide format. I'm looking for opinions on finishing equipment, hemming, welding, trimming, plotters, etc. We need to purchase a cutter to mount to the printer, we're looking at a Foster Evolution Keencut to mount to our machine.... is this a good option? Are there better options out there? We also need to be able to hem the edges, we've been looking at sewing versus welding. Right now we are leaning towards the Leister UNIPLAN E. Please give me your feedback on this machine and again if there are better options I'd love to hear about them, not to mention a good place to purchase. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, we'll be looking into plotters soon and once we can get established and the demand justifies it we'll be looking at larger hem and welding machines, so advice in these areas would be great too. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and let me say I think this forum is wonderful, we've already learned much from it just reading the daily posts. I'm excited to now be a member!!
