  9. avoiding a print server

    Another option is using a wireless print server. The TRENDnet TEW-MP1U Wireless G Print Server is available from tiger direct. You would either need a wireless hub that connected to your PC via a CAT5 cable - or you could use a wireless usb adapter to talk to the print server directly. Nice...
  10. 5" lighted sign rule????

  11. Roland - VS Print & Cut (CMYK + White + Metallic)

    artbot - My tech that services my gear is pretty good. I have been doing this for 12 years. I have run Mutohs, Encads, and Seikos. I was told that the metallics won't flush to the point where you would want to switch back to the CYMK. Supply lines and head change would be necessary. I can...

  15. Dry erase coro checks

    i use the wypet overlam from fellers - we digitally print the whole check - mount - then overlam - works like a charm if the client uses dry erase markers - we supply them one with the check so that when they use the sharpie - my answer is - so you didn't use the marker we supplied you???
