I think all we use is Maintape apart from clear.

Is it on carpet? Had a Mimaki on carpet and everytime you touched it you'd get a shock. Black overspray was ridiculous until we moved it off the carpet.

Hi Josh...the problem is in your spacing..it's reading 'S' 'T' 'UDIO'...you're gonna have to play around with it to get looking right...my eye doesn't flow along it, it jerks along.

Different country and prices but I have a GS6000 and just bought today a Summa S160D...add that with the GBC Titan64 I have and now I'm set.

A lot sign shops are specialising and outsourcing. We're doing the opposite and growing. If you specialise and the industry changes and you can't adapt fast enough you'll go the way of the dodo. I and a lot of the older crew on here have seen it happen. There's a lot of ex-signwriters...

If most of your printing is done for your own designs most printers out there will be ok. Where the problems start is when you print client and designer supplied artwork with spec'd Pantones and specific corporate colours. For that the GS6000 at the moment is in a league of it's own. Magenta...

Few years back drove 4,200 mile round trip across the Nullabor to hang 2 signs for a video store franchise in a town way, way out in the Outback and got paid for it every inch of the way. What a trip...saw overturned trucks with squashed helicopters on the back...overturned caravans...

No online sales, no instant online pricing, no instant online design-a-sign thing. All that stuff is just confusion and frustration to most customers and all it does is leave them with a bad feeling about your site. Make it easy for them to contact you and the one's that are serious will...

No, you need the mimaki profiling software...

We run both....why limit yourself??

I've blabbed on about how important an well optimised site is on here before, but it didn't get much response. I have 1 website (I plan on setting up more) and I get 10-15 new enquiries through it for signage per day. So to answer Kustom.Printing...Put your time and money into your website. I...

We do s**tloads of backlit signage...sure we use a lot of vinyl and print now, but nothing beats a backsprayed sign...if done properly with acrylic (nitrocelloluse back in the day) cut with clear... P.S I just had a flashback of hand cutting all those masks...think I'll go polish the vinyl...

I was actually talking with an Epson sales engineer today and when I mentioned that rumour has it that the GS6000 was discontinued...he laughed out loud.

That looks really good Jill.

If you're 'really good with photoshop and been using it for years' as you say...quick and dirty way is to mask your image, make work path, export paths, bring into Flexi, Corel or Illustrator and go from there.

Now that's a good one....I'll have to write that down.

So they tell you this after you paid them?

Although I'm in a different country with a different culture....my feeling is that he will think you are using this as an excuse to get rid of him...especially if things have been a bit slow...be prepared for the backlash from that. Just my thoughts...

Impressive!...I've got only one to do sitting in the bay downstairs and I'm not looking forward to it at all!

I know who your talking about and I don't blame you..you need to have a built in escape plan like 3 or 4 different suppliers of the same product or service...or your screwed. You made the right choice anyway...if there's one thing I've learnt it's to keep your workflow, learning curves and...
