Budget-wise I'm trying to stay around $15k-ish, but might be willing to go a little higher on the right deal. I have found refurb. VP's in that range, just no take-up reel - so I would have to budget for that later or try to get by as long with some kind of table setup for a while. Insignia...

As it stands, I've been steadily narrowing down my choices for a printer. I want to stay in the 54" range and prefer the print/cut systems made by Roland. I have pretty much ruled out an SP-540 due to its slower printing speeds and older technology and an XC-540 is just too far out of my price...

I use SignCut X2 on my Mac. Works like a charm - and you can download a FREE trial. http://www.sc-x2.com/component/option,com_kb/Itemid,26/t,1/page,articles/articleid,30/ *BTW - I checked and the PNC-1000 is supported. Good luck.

Not to stir the pot - so to speak. But you're not comparing apples to apples with your "car" statement. When dealing with machines that are used to produce work, they will either make you money or they won't. Age comes into play, as well as condition - but not as much as some people would...

Comparing these two, which is the "better" unit if both are used and basically in the same condition? Any big differences in the head, cutting speed, printing speed, etc.? *Oh, and any significant differences in the SP540 vs. SP 540v?

Signco, yours was one of the most helpful posts of all and I thank you. I've "heard" a lot of good things about the Summa's just don't see that many out in the wild. I think I finally made up my mind to go with a Versacamm as it seems the best overall value for my money and for my needs. Now...

You supply your own material and your outsource charges you $2.50 a sq/f on top of that??? You need to shop around... I know owning your own equipment "sounds" cheaper but you really need to do the math beyond just the cost of the printer alone. There will be maintenance, consumables, plus...

Geiger, do you have any "ballpark" pricing per square foot on full color coverage? *I would also probably continue to sub my big banners and any wraps out to someone else, but in a pinch if I needed to do one or tow I would like to know what I am up against price-wise.

Hi all, been reading what great units the Summa DC4, DC4SX and even DC3's are for custom die-cut decals. How do they work for banners, car and truck decals and wraps or partial wraps? I am in the process of shopping around for a printer and have pretty much narrowed it down to a Roland...

- Adobe CS3 Premium Suite (Pshop, Illy, ID, Acrobat etc..) - Pitstop Pro allows full control/editing of PDF files in Acrobat - Filemaker Pro (database management and customization) - I really like iTunes and iPhoto - FREE, very convenient and easy to manage/customize your music and...

Interesting....

Yeah what they all said.... http://bigpicture.net/index.php3?channelnum=52&content=3669&displaynow=yes&openchan=yes

You might try downloading the demo of Genuine Fractals. I have used their software numerous times to enlarge. Does a far better job than anything else I know of.

imagep, I am in the same boat as you. (15+ years prepress and offset printing background and recently started my own sign business on the side.) If you can get by with what you have, then so be it. HOWEVER, I feel there is indeed quite a bit of difference between fonts used for signs and...

Hmm, does it need to have any specific features? Size limitations? What kinds of things will you be doing with it? Do you know what kind of software you'll be using? $1,000 might find you an older used Roland or Graphtec...I stress might.

LOL, didn't mean to shock you... See this for more details: http://www.fellers.com/index.cfm/spKey/products.wrap_equipment.htm?spId=CE107EDB-D559-5B14-1A09B1C78D7CD9E8
