I have a roland print cut and a graphtec plotter. The difference in speed, quality of cut and registration for print/cut is obvious. If you have time a print/cut in one is fine, other than decreased cut quality. When you have both and both are running, you're having a good day.
Looks like you got around it. Was going to suggest plugging the old drive into the optical drive cable if you had one on the pc. Then sometimes you can download from it . That helped me once when a drive was doing it's best to roast. Got lucky.
I agree with Gino. Take it from a former high school teacher, there is nothing short of paint that will give any kind of longevity on a school table top.
We recently did changeovers and murals for many local schools when they changed the names to be "politically correct". We were doing reprints before all the schools were complete from little fingers. Between that and the salesman for contractor not knowing how to read a ruler we were pretty busy...
I have some oracal 651 on am legion wall. Been there for a few years now. Was post heated. Any more I just do murals on phototex or comparable product just to avoid the problem you are having.
Kick down malfunctioned so machine just ran over the weekend until the pressure in the tank found a weak rusty spot and burst. Thing jumped up, threw pieces and rolled down the wall leaving orange strips every 3 or so feet as it rolled on the wall. Found wheels at other end of warehouse. It was...
I have thirty year old galvanized pans for work table tops. Magnets work on them and they are as good as 30 years ago. You go through x-acto blades but that's why there is 100 of them in a box.
Biggest cause of compressor disasters is from lack of maintenance, like never draining water from tank causing rust and weak spots. Never leave it on when no one is around. Had a kick down fail overnight on one in warehouse years ago. It ran until tank failure in middle of night. Heck of a mess...
Haven't used latex or uv personally but know those who have. If precision is key latex doesn't seem to be quite there and are power hogs from what I have seen. Dealing with hp can be a pita also. I just purchased a printer using eco sol inkset and I am impressed with how quick vinyl can be die...
For me in the sign shop I would get a nice laser just to play. I'm getting close to retiring and play toys are in, lol. I did just purchase a small print/cutter that I installed this week for myself and one customer whose jobs are every week but too small to send out. It was just killing labor...
I own a sign shop and a distillery. I send my labels out for printing for normal bottling runs. For small specialty stuff I print my own on a desktop as my labels are basically brown paper and black print.
