I am getting my business going. I have not made many signs or graphics yet. I do have two major clients but they mostly request graphic services from me. They have another sign vendor that I can not compete against for the time being (contracts). How can I attract new clients with not a great...

300dpi would be great but anything above 150dpi is usually good for most purposes. I just wouldn't drop below that.

I'm interested in getting professional training for vinyl application and wrapping. I'm near DC, but would be willing to travel. Any suggestions?

I don't see why this shouldn't work well.

Okay. The client and I were originally talking about etchlook or frosted crystal for the windows to function in the same manner with some added benefit/disadvantage of privacy. They have some really cool stuff they would like outside patrons to see. I was going to design some graphics so this...

Hi, My client would like to cover some windows. 18 small windows, 5" x 5", 2 Sides Lights, 2 Glass Doors and 3 Windows (Partial). They want to reduce sunlight and heat. I was looking into 3m Sun Control Window Film but I don't have $2000 to spend on this project. I am looking at Solar Gard...

Hi, I have an approved design from a client.I'm quoting them but I'm unsure of which materials to use. Image is attached for reference. I am just starting with the center bay graphics, if that goes well, the client may want the additional side graphics. My plan was to do the following: Top...

Thx!

graphicsyourway.net ... still getting it up and running, looking for a small office location. I found a HP Designjet 25500 for less than $5000. It was a demo model supposedly and has only run about 50 jobs. I am also going with a cheapo laminator, $2000.

This wasn't just printhead replacements, it was problems with how the printheads were hitting now that I recall. Streaking and such.. Sometimes it was user error, sometimes it wasn't. Anyway, HP L26500 isn't for me. I'm also not a fan of the HP Latex 560 which I have experience with. HP 560...

Thanks, I don't feel strong armed at all. I appreciate everyone's input. Honestly, I'm still considering eco-solvent printers, haven't crossed them out. Ideally, I would want to do what all the big boys are doing just on a smaller scale - banners, pop-ups, wall art, decals, car graphics...

Oh I forgot.. heating unit had to be replaced twice. Printhead issues, I forget exactly what problems we had but I know we had to replace them twice in 3 years.

Different issues. The clips on the trays for the inks snapped more than once, belt ripped and some printhead issues - had to be replaced a few times.

I am familiar with HP L26500. It worked well but started to develop several maintenance issues after extended use. I was trying to avoid HP. Though their support is really good, I'm trying to find something more durable. Maybe it's just in my mind though and I should stick with HP.

Thanks everyone. I'm looking at finance options for HP Latex 115.
