  1. Suggestions How To Grow A Home Based Sign Shop

    Keeping existing customers is much less costly than gaining new ones. The best way to get a new one is by referral.

    Could be the belt. Are there shreds of rubber under it?
  3. What printer to buy for wall decor (canvas wraps) - HP 360/365 or Epson S80600

    I do a few with our 360s. Image quality is fine and the ink is quite durable. What's even better is buying pre stretched canvas blanks and printing them with our Oce Arizona.

    Oh no. I've been doing it wrong.

    You might want to lose that thin skin if you want any help around here.
  6. Need help learning HP Design Jet 5000PS or 5500PS

    Old ones - and by now they are all old - will probably need the ink tubes replaced once they start letting air in and blowing heads as soon as you put them in. The belts are about the only other thing that wear out on them.
  7. Now this p!ssed me off......................................

    lol. Seriously I hardly sub anything out. When I do I half expect to be disappointed with either delivery date or quality.
  8. Need Help Big time newbie starting business making magnetic signs

    We used HP5000s for some signage before we got an eco sol. With the right media and lam the pigment inks can last nearly as long as eco solvent. Trouble is the inks, media and laminate are expensive so trying to compete in the magnet market will be pointless. They are good poster printers...

    Take it to a sign shop and pay a professional to do it properly.
  10. Need Help Switching from HP Latex 360 to Epson S80600??

    Just use the onboard i1. Press a button and let the printer do it's thing. If you want better quality print at 18 pass.
  11. Need Help Switching from HP Latex 360 to Epson S80600??

    I'd never go back to solvent. I mean really, do people put a magnifying glass onto your car stickers and complain about the graininess? If you're doing art repro or proofing maybe there's a reason but for signage I doubt it. Still, free country and all. Let us know your experience when you do it.

    Your printer is clearly shagged. Give you $20 for it.

    Nice work Gino. I keep telling clients less is more but you've finally pulled it off.

    I upgraded to Thrive 12 from Production House when I got the Arizona a couple of months ago. The key came with permissions for 12.1
  15. Upgraded to Onyx 12.1

    Does it install over the top of 12 or does it create a fresh installation? I'm just about to install it today.

  17. Cut Solution for HP 310

    We have both Summa drag knife and tangential cutters. The tangential is way better for cutting thick laminated printed output. If you do a lot of that kind of cutting they are worth the premium.
  18. Cut Vinyl graphics not sticking to customer's wall!!! Help!

    If we are installing wall graphics we also try and do an adhesion test. Once bitten twice shy.
  19. Zund 3XL-2500 vs Esko C60

    I guess the obvious question to ask is does anyone have a Zund with 1kw spindle and finds it underpowered?
  20. T160 Problem

    Maybe you just had the knife out too far lol. Still waiting for a new head. In the meantime it's kind of usable. It does this weird thing of stopping and jabbing the blade into the vinyl 8 or so times every couple of minutes though. Hey I agree they are great cutters. When they are going. The...
