Sorry to hijack the thread, but it is tangentially related; Who do you other 570 users recommend for service? Are you going through HP or do you have an independent tech? I need a new tech near Chicago and I'd rather not use HP.

I've been happily using grafxnetwork for my HP service needs for awhile, but they lost their Chicago based tech to COVID earlier this year. Does the signs101 community have any suggestions other than going back to HP for service? I appreciate your feedback!

Phil, I have a similar same scenario. To elaborate, we have a Vanguard 4x8 flatbed and a summa D140. While we have other printers, including roll-to-roll machines, our Vanguard is our only printer that prints white. So, decals that need to be printed/plotted using white inks have to come off...

Unfortunately, my dye sub equipment can't handle gaming felt. You might want to check with an industrial fabric supplier to see who is into this kind of printing work. Try www.aberdeenfabrics.com or http://www.fishertextiles.com/ftp4.php?appquery=gaming They're the 2 mfgr's that I'd most...

Correct. It is the Adaptec 29160. The SCSI drivers are available from Adaptec's website. http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/downloads/ms/ms_win_xp?productId=ASC-29160&dn=Adaptec+SCSI+Card+29160 Make sure you also install the ASPI Drivers...

As far as solvent options go, try Optima Opti-Solve Front Print Backlit from Advantage Sign Supply. It has worked quite well for us. http://www.advantagesignsupply.com/Optima-Opti-Solve-Front-Print-Backlit-54-x-100 They also have an aqueous version, though I haven't tried it myself. I will...

Keep us posted on your impressions once you get it up and running! We're eyeing the 60" model.

So, Mach, if you don't mind my asking... what 3rd party were you running in your 9000 and how much were you paying?

2006 Infiniti G35x.

I wouldn't put TOO much stock in that. White ink has always been such a PITA (even with OEM ink) that I've completely given up on it.

Thanks. I've been running Fuji/Sericol inks in my XL1500 for a while now and I have been absolutely thrilled with them. Still, I want to make sure I've done my due diligence before switching my Jeti.

Anyone running Fuji Sericol UV inks in their flatbed? Considering switching my Jeti 1224 and I'd like some feedback

You know those Napa auto parts delivery trucks that have the hat on top? I have a customer who wants to get something similar made and I'm having trouble tracking it down. I've been looking for fiberglass sculptors, but I'm not having much luck. Besides that, a molded plastic product may be a...

I've generally only got good things to say about Watchfire (and still do). I think we have 30 or 40 sites with Watchfire and they're all doing great. Can't say the same for Dak. As for Yesco, if you've been to Las Vegas, you're familiar with their product. They're responsible for something...

You're right- Watchfire doesn't sell direct... and that IS the problem with Dak. the problem with watchfire is that in a town with 10 sign shops (for example) Watchfire then has 10 potential distributors. The end user often picks the low bidder, and while they may end up getting 'what they pay...

Actually, they manufacture their own- from Message centers to billboards. They have a factory in Utah. http://www.yescoelectronics.com/partner-program.html

Cost was a factor, yes, but I have a problem with the business models of both Dak and Watchfire. Right now, they'll both sell to everyone in town- so the shop who makes the least money on the job gets the job. Unfortunately, that has resulted in some REALLY POOR installations around here and...

Here's the one that really cracks me up; They provide artwork in a sub-par format, so we ask if they might have it in .eps or .pdf format. They then resubmit the original file, only having deleted the original file extension and replaced it with .eps or .pdf. The more advanced, yet still very...

Yesco. We've done a lot of work with Daktronics and Watchfire prior to this one. The Yesco unit is built like a tank and as bright as the sun! Unfortunately, their shipping time is on the high side and their production staff isn't as customer service oriented as they should be. Again...

Though this isn't the largest one we've done, it is on the bigger side. This particular one is from a new (to us) manufacturer and, so far, I'm pretty impressed with the hardware. I just wanted to share with the signs101 community. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni9hgF57V1o&feature=channel...
