What kind of apparel do you do? What are your minimums? Our retail store is in a town with a lake and many seasonal shoppers - we've talked about doing nice t-shirts or socks but our volume would be low.

Sweet! What kind of businesses do you both have? I have a marketing firm and retail store - we serve nursing homes and they use a lot of paper :-) that's what got us into printing - we thought the store would be fun - it is, we make about 75% of what we sell.

Stacey - It has come to my attention that the numbers I'm relying on may not be correct - I'm in the process of clarifying them. I had been told that the usage number referred to not the lamp but the time the printer is plugged in. I double checked that over the weekend and the number did not...

I'm not sure if I can say their name or not - I'm in Wisconsin. Do you do business in Wisconsin?

I have found a new distributor and their ink prices are much more reasonable - he was charging me $295 for a bottle and my new distributor charges $162 - when I called him on the fact that his prices were almost double one of his competitors he just laughed. I think he's very well connected...

The owner of the reseller is a very intimidating person - he's already taunted me about crushing me if I were to pursue legal action. The machine is down and I need him to at least get it back running. Today I had to outsource about $1k of jobs that I should have printed myself. I totally...

It is a ton of usage - there wasn't an extra zero. I did purchase it through a distributor and he's not taking responsibility for the usage at all - says "you knew you were buying a demo" the number of repairs we've needed supports the fact that it was used so much. This is our second Mimaki...

Thanks for the info... we haven't been as lucky. We just recently found out that the demo actually had almost 11000 hours on the UV lamp and 33000 linear feet go through it. It's needed service at least 7-8 times during the 16 months we've had it - was down the entire first month we had it and...

Hello - new to this group. We are a very, very small time printer - a marketing company that prints for it's own clients and we have a retail store/wholesale operation that we make about 75% of what we sell. We have three machines - Epson8000 that we print mostly canvas and art prints on, and...
