  1. Flatbed Printers - Vanguard Print Settings & 2nd Printer Purchase

    The info above was on the 8 head. No white... The 4 head will be installed before the end of the month. Some cool new features compared to the first gen we traded in.

  3. Flatbed Printers - Vanguard Print Settings & 2nd Printer Purchase

    Would it be possible to send a screenshot of the settings to me? mark@ballparksigns.com We are setting up our 8 head VK300D HS and today is the last day the tech will be here until they come back to install our 4 head printer. There are a lot of options in the settings and I want to make sure...
  4. Flatbed Printers - Vanguard Print Settings & 2nd Printer Purchase

    We mentioned your setup to our rep in terms of what we would like to dial in during the installation. You share a lot of good info within our industry and provide great services to the users on Signs101. I tip my hat to you, sir... keep it up!
  5. Flatbed Printers - Vanguard Print Settings & 2nd Printer Purchase

    Yes with the trade-in on the older Vanguard. The two Vanguards will not be as fast as the other printers mentioned. But the quality is high and we can make this work for us.
  6. Flatbed Printers - Vanguard Print Settings & 2nd Printer Purchase

    Our team decided to stick with the Vanguard series. We are trading in our Vk300D for a 300D-HS 8 Head and a 300D-HS 4 head. We took a long look at TruFire which looks like a great printer option. I think TruFire is going to continue to grow as another good option for the mid level printers...
  7. Drone video

    Drones are great for the larger projects. My second largest project covered a development. We got approval to fly during a preset time with the local airport that was within 5 miles and got the footage we needed. The client loved the aerial views and selected the areas for placement from...
  8. Flatbed Printers - Vanguard Print Settings & 2nd Printer Purchase

    I'm sure those settings are dialed in... thank you for sharing! How many rows and number of heads do you have on your Vanguard 300D HS? Do you have any vacuum issues on thin media types? I've always received top quality prints from your company, so I know your standards are high in terms of...
  9. Flatbed Printers - Vanguard Print Settings & 2nd Printer Purchase

    We have (3) heads / (1) row on the current flatbed. We have a price to do a field upgrade. But we need to run test to make sure it's just another row of heads and not additional heads based on what the tech has described. The current heads should be fine in terms of matching up a new row of...
  10. Flatbed Dilemma

    Hello Bruce, What settings are you printing on in that video in terms of passes and curing? How many rows of heads do you have installed on your Vanguard VK 300D? Thanks!
  11. Flatbed Printers - Vanguard Print Settings & 2nd Printer Purchase

    I've not had the time yet to test the printers different pass modes. It list it around 100+ passes in terms of passes on the RIP. I tried a quick 4 pass run as that felt like a better option and it reduced the yard sign size by 1 min per yard sign. But the curing setting was not changed and I...
  12. 10x40 foot banner....what matieral

    We also used the Ackland Media Frames on some Concrete R Type Wall facings. It worked like a charm on a basketball stadium and they were quite large. I'm a big fan of the product and love it when our clients want to use it. The change out is quick and the banners look very good when...
  13. 10x40 foot banner....what matieral

    I don't have any suggestions using a banner only or the media type to hit your goals. But I would suggest to up sell the client on Ackland Media Frames. We just ordered some 4x40's and we will schedule the install shortly. I can send you some pics, if it would help. Our 4x40s frames will be...
  14. Flatbed Printers - Vanguard Print Settings & 2nd Printer Purchase

    Hello All, We currently have a Vanguard 300D. We mainly print on 5x10 coroplast and I wanted to see what settings you are using on your Vanguard. We have one row of heads on the printer. We print in 8 pass for most prints. We are going to update it to either 2 or 3 rows of heads. Right now...
