  1. Hello from Edinburgh Scotland

    Hello, traveled to your fine city last August. Very lovely country and nice and friendly folks. Hope you find that here as well. Had a caddie call me a "jammy *******" - whatever that is. "jammy bast_rd"
  2. Flatbed questions

    I wouldn't let the quality and polish of a demo center influence my decision one iota when making a purchase like this. You will likely never visit there again. CET's "demo center" is an actual working wide format company - which no other manufacturer can match. If you are enamored with what...
  3. Snap frames

    For all of you that purchase these things - who has best price/quality ratio for 24x36 silver aluminum snap frames. I have used Orbus, but wanted to see if there were competitive manufacturers/importers around. I need 48 of them.
  4. Computer Advise

    You can screw around or you can call Casey and be done with it. Price here isn't your concern. If you are doing alot of wraps with large files that you don't particularly want to have disappear for no reason - then get a computer that is designed to do what you need it to do.
  5. Font id, or old hand drawn font?

    Go to Sign DNA or Letterhead and find one similar
  6. Am I Allowed???

    I am an Assistant Scoutmaster for our Troop and I think if you just go to Google Images and search for "vector BSA eagle patch" - something should pop up. Or call your council district office and explain what you are doing (they should know the boy already if he is getting his Eagle) and they...
  7. Humidifier

    humidity Just call Harold Wilson at Air & Water Systems. This is what he does for commercial print shops and wide format /sign shops. http://www.airandwatersystems.com/?gclid=COCXoO-LgLACFZFR7AodmiRXUw
  8. Peak banner material from Fellers

    Have used it in a pinch. Suppose the quality level is dependent upon your individual printer. Some machines may print really well to it and others may not. I found the edges to be too "hairy" where they trimmed from the master roll. I use Key banner from Grimco mainly, but I don't do alot of...
  9. Sign Shops in my Area (a photo map)

    If you set yourself up correctly when you get started - you should only have to really worry about 10% of them at the most.
  10. Flatbed questions

    I doubt if the demo room guys will be able to answer the comparison questions. That is more of a salesperson's expertise - well, it should be, anyway. Demo guys are just concerned with telling/showing you what their machine can do and can do for you. They don't have time to research and...
  11. Flatbed questions

    Be very careful throwing in the size of the company as a gating item to decide what to buy. The landscape is littered with the carcasses of some rather large companies that said they were here for the long term and faded away after about 5 years. We were DuPont and were by far bigger than any...
  12. Used UV Flatbed

    Ehhhh... good printer at the time but the technology has changed alot in the past 5 years. It is slower than Christmas and your ink costs are high. Very good resolution, though. Uses same heads that are in my CET. Personally, I have never understood why anyone would buy the Fuji branded machine...
  13. Flatbed questions

    I just found that CET video you referenced. What you are seeing is multiple loads going onto a single take-up reel in the course of switching back and forth between roll to roll and rigid at a printing show. So they may print 50 feet and switch to something else, then load another roll of...
  14. Flatbed questions

    Just sent you a long private message. I use white all the time for some of my display customers. My CET printer is configured with 4 heads of white and CET white ink lays down nicely. But if you don't think you will use it regularly, just partner with someone who has it and be done with it or...
  15. Used UV Flatbed

    Ok... there isn't a UV curable machine currently made that will print onto ANYTHING. Thats why most manufacturers give you options for inksets depending on what your core business is. Try printing to melamine with standard Vutek inks. It'll print - but you can peel the ink off in sheets. Try...
  16. Used UV Flatbed

    Yeah, I was fortunate to have alot of experience as a technical manager and color profiling instructor when i was with Dupont, so i was pretty much in-tune with UV-curable oddities, different materials and color profiling. CET has a great group of guys that do an outstanding job of setup and...
  17. Used UV Flatbed

    Depends on how complicated a system you get - but more importantly - which RIP you get with it. If you are used to onyx already them get that RIP with whatever you buy. If you are starting from scratch - get one that uses Caldera. Your biggest concern with UV-curable is understanding that it...

    Dancing girls....? or girls on mini trampolines...
  19. Junior Seau RIP

    There was only 1 suicide like that recently - Dave Duerson from the Bears and he specifically left a note encouraging brain study. There was no note in Seau's case - so its not wise to speculate that he even committed suicide or that was the reason for the chest wound. If he did go out on his...
  20. Used UV Flatbed

    Obvious question... what will you be printing on over and over again in the same place? You have a mid-range budget based on the models you have chosen. What are you looking to spend? You have to get an idea of what square footage per hour you need + the quality expectation at that speed...
