  1. The Golden Tamale - Suggestions?

    that stack of tamales just doesn't work. why is it there? a picture of the product doesn't go in the logo. does GMC have a picture of a truck in the middle? think corporate food company!
  2. thinking about going to the apple side

    i had a customer (he ran a multi million dollar catering company. like he has the united nations contract, etc) tell me a simple phrase that has changed my business forever. "run it like a business" no matter what kind of sole proprietor your are you have a partner that is always right...
  3. Am I being stupid???

    that colorspan is going to kick your ***. i believe the ones that do own them had the advantage of getting them new learning how it's supposed to behave then being able to maintain it after that experience. there is some company in california that has dedicated their business to refurbing and...

  5. Jumping on the HP Latex bandwagon

    can you guys here that? if you listen closely it's the sound of epson based solvent machines depreciating. if i was going to switch to latex and i wanted a decent price for my "mimalandtoh" printer, i'd do it sooner than later. a $23,000 used machine today will be hard to unload for $10,000...
  6. Wholesale guys, Is it less of a pain to run wholesale instead of retail?

    i wholesale only. particularly to one single client. i could go out and get more but he's got me slammed all year long. i wouldn't even think about going wholesale until you have a pretty capable shop. also if you can't close a retail client for a few hundred bucks, you definitely will have...
  7. Clogged Ink Lines OR...?

    you have to do a damper swap first. put the cyan damper/line on to the black manifold position. and the black on the cyan. if the black freaks out at the cyan position, then you know the issue is above the head. ' and you don't have to replace the lines. there is an aggressive line...
  8. vutek RFID question (3rd party ink)

    thanks so much! i emailed your reference, and typestries i will pm you for sure.
  9. vutek RFID question (3rd party ink)

    you rock! ...thanks. i'm trying to put together an "ultimate" set up budget (new stuff) and a trustworthy bargain set up (mcgyver'ed used equipment). and from what i've read, the vuteks are the most dependable. personally, i've seen some of my ventures go belly up in the last 20 years due to...
  10. vutek RFID question (3rd party ink)

    @animenick65 do those couplings eventually expire? and do they record ink use? as for "my machine", i'm in the market for a flatbed and i'm investigating which one will be the best for modification. i have a few products that would be great (perfect) for the 320/400 (standard size for...
  11. vutek RFID question (3rd party ink)

    i have a question regarding vutek's rfid ink chips (for the 200/600 and 320/400). i'm aware that there are many third party inks for these printers. so the chips can be be bypassed/worked around. but, are the work arounds only available with third party ink contracts? or is there a stand...
  12. Used/Broken Spectra Printheads

    before you load any head, do testing outside the head. my favorite thing to use is those tiny glass bowls used for ingredients. also painting ink onto aluminum foil is good. they dyne of aluminum foil is terrible. so if you can get the rheology to work well on the frosted side of the foil...
  13. UV flatbed?

    yup, 125 ish. i'm getting a bid on a 6x10 table with the less expensive head config. what concerns me is does one go new with a 6x10 (really need a 6x12)? or get a used 3150 for around $57,000ish and wing it. a 4x8 table is too small for the line and the belt feeds aren't strong enough to...

    bump :)
  15. anyone have the VersaUV

    i saw them at the sgia. very attractive machine. but it just seemed like lazy engineering. if roland was serious about flatbeds they wouldn't be cramming uv into a pinch roller machine. if you want small foot print high res uv i'd compare it with the agfa anapurna with white and varnish. (i...
  16. UV flatbed?

    i use aluminum a lot. but i clear coat it with my own proprietary coating. then i can print solvent directly to it. depends on your market and image mostly. there are many many eco solvent flatbed conversions out there. there is also a jv33 true solvent conversion (that one is really nice)...
  17. Etched glass vinyl job in houston

    after looking around there are quite a few options at 60 wide.
  18. Etched glass vinyl job in houston

    need someone to bid and cut this job for me. ...simple graphic of drilling equipment. the sizes for the six graphics are 2 @ 53 x 106, 2 @ 53 x 49, and 2 @ 53 x 25. rendering attached, i'll provide the file AND THE FILM (client still needs to approve which film. just need...
  19. UV flatbed?

    i'm looking at some creeky old buildings in houston that are similar. definitely a departure from a massive clear span building.
  20. UV flatbed?

    @brassman one thing that "xenon" is a 3d image file. i'd run for my life. there are some chinese manufacturers that are really truly making some product. for a small shop, i'd suggest sticking with a converted solvent flat bed. parts will be cheap, large user community for the mutoh or...
