we sold the exact same machine about 3 years ago to someone for $19,000 CAD

Why would you opt to pay 15,000 for a machine that doesn't work and the manufacturer has no idea how to fix?!?

If you print many shorter runs on various media, I would avoid the HP, the process of loading and unloading the media is very slow compared to the mimaki, and you can't print on anything shorter than about 40" We run an Epson s80600 machine and love it, have you looked at the Epson s40600...

The type of clip depends on what brand and style the frame system is. We did a signcomp tension banner frame a few years ago, the little plastic clips for that system cost around $1.00 each and you need to put them on every 3", so it adds up very quickly on larger banners. We don't do a ton of...

I agree with your old owner, don't rely on 4over for anything important or last minute. Almost every time we leave a job too the last minute with them they miss the deadline oress up the job somehow. They are great for what they are , a cheap trade printer, but if there is a chance that them...

To find the cubic foot size of your room, multiply the width, length and height. You want a exhaust fan that can change that amount of air 5 times an hour, so if your room is 3000 cubic feet, you want a fan with a CFM rating of 250 CFM A high quality bathroom exhaust fan might work, if placed...

You can see the filter in these pics, the charcoal filter lays on the ground underneath the printer to collect the fumes, and the fan is mounted to the wall, if needed you could add some ducting off the fan and direct it out the room, but this works very well for us.

Take a look at the activated charcoal filter I posted above, it really works very well, and for a few hundred bucks, what do you have to loose? Comes in multiple sizes and CFM.

We've been running a s80600 for about a year now, best decision we made! The prints are photo quality, we can laminate same day if needed and the machine has been a complete workhorse so far, it pretty much does the maintenance itself, we do a manual head clean about once a month, that's it...

These would be done by screen printing or offset press, unless you have either of these 2 options at your shop don't bother, the shops that are set up to run these types of jobs will end up quoting less than your material cost.

I've seen many people that have the technical skills to produce nice work but can't run a business to save their life, starting out on your own is a world of difference from working for someone else, make sure you have a solid business plan and a ton of savings put away. It response to your...

Composer 2.0 is very old, we run version 1.6 or something, so I feel your pain. We usually end up saving as an .eps file in the lowest version possible in illustrator or Corel and importing that into composer. It's a bit of a PITA and one of the reasons we try to run most jobs on our solvent...

Is there a frame around where the graphic is going? If so I would do a centre hinge method, and peel the backer completely off one side and tack it to the frame so it sits slightly above the surface it's.going to be stuck to, apply it, then come back after its stuck down in place and deal with...

You should be able to download a 30 day trial of onyx and see how you like it. It will seem a bit daunting at first, took me a few months to understand it coming from versaworks, but once you understand how everything works, things like quicksets and ripping panels as seperate files save you a...

Add a few dabs of lexel adhesive with the tape if you are concerned.

Ok, I ran roland machines for over 10 years and had mostly great things to say about them, versaworks is a great RIP for the day to day simple jobs, but what you are trying to do is not versaworks forte. In theory, your idea of bringing in multiple copies of the file should work, however anyone...

what does the client want?

We also run a fair amount of safety signage and pipe markers, we used to run pipe markers on our Gerber edge due to our roland producing prints similar to your photos, once we got our S80600 we switched all pipe markers over to it, we print on General Formulations High-Tac vinyl and laminate...

we printed this on our gerber edge, gloss clear coat foil on matte black vinyl, came out well, it's very subdued until the light hits it at the right angle than it jumps out at you, been on my truck 3 years no and it's still looks great!
