Thanks for all the replies. I will have to do some more research and pondering...100K is not pocket change!

Looking to expand the business offering. Looking at entry level UV printers. Which ones are great? Which ones in your experience to stay away from? We are a small company so replacing heads every 6 months is not an option. Thank for your time to give me some guidance on this.

I am looking into offering perforated vinyl, but I am confused by what I am finding. What do the numbers mean? Like 80/20, 70/30? Is this the weight of the material? The ratio of holes to solid? What is a good brand that won't break the bank? Thanks

I am having an issue with VMP when I import a color file the colors are cloudy. This just started today. Last week we had no issue. Is there a setting or something I need to adjust? I imported the same file into Corel Draw 2019 this morning and it worked perfectly. I am still learning on Corel...

OK, thanks for the suggestions. Power cord is OK nothing is happening, no fans no lights, so I believe it to be a fuse/circuit breaker issue. I tried pushing on it to reset it but nothing happened. Where is the fuse located? I assume on an end panel.

Thanks everyone for your input. I got my old Vinyl Express to work again,not near as fast as the Jag but... so I am going to save up for a high end cutter either a Summa or a Graphtec.

OK, maybe I need to be more specific, I run a pro tshirt, decal company. I want a 24in cutter equal or better than the one I had go down. It was a GCC Jaguar IV. Worked great for many years and met my needs for present. I would probably consider a larger cutter maybe a 30 or 40 inch one. So I...

My Jaguar IV plotter this morning has decided to be a PIA, I turned it on to warm up and start the day. When I came back to load the media, the LCD screen was blank. Nothing works! I checked the fuse/breaker but it did nothing. Am I completely screwed here? Does anyone have any ideas of what I...

My vinyl cutter has suddenly died. I need to purchase a new one, but I want one that is going to be reliable for many years. I see so many new brands on the market, so many now I am confused. I do mostly signs and HTV shirt designs. What cutter would you all recommend? I don't have unlimited...

I have been using VMpro since 2014 when the new and improved version came out. It was 249.99. I used to use Flex, VMP is much more user friendly and works much easier, vectorizing is hit and miss, lots of times the program will not pickup the right colors and sometime will return a big blank. It...

So is this a wet spray on coating? Where can I get it from ?

What do you mean by pretreated?

I cannot get my sub prints to adhere or print to SS. I get a vague ghost image but no transfer. 380 for 2.5 minutes. PLEASE HELP! TIA

OK Thanks for the comments, either bad or good. I didnot realize the picture looks so bad on here. The one on my program (Flexi 8) looks much better. The Texas shape with the TTP, I want to stay along with the colors (I have a 12,000 sqft. building painted with those colors..and I dont really...

Here is an example of a Logo that I am designing for my truck performance shop. Offsite pic replaced. Please observe our rules on photo posting. I want it to look really cool but I am having trouble with the design. The only criteria is that I have to be able to produce it with a vinyl...
