IMO this is way too busy, not enough contrast and too many small/thin fonts for a typical yard sign. If the purpose of this sign is to gain attention from passing traffic it will be unreadable. If it is meant to be used on a sidewalk area where people are strolling past it, it might be OK...

Very nice, thank you!

For bourbon I really enjoy Maker's Mark, Gentleman Jack, Jack Daniels single barrel and of course Crown Royal. Not a huge scotch drinker, but I do indulge in some Glenfiddich now and then. Goes great with certain cigars. (Any cigar folks here?) Last but not least, I have friends that hook me...

$10,000? No, not for new equipment. $18,000-$36,000 is a ballpark figure and realize you will need a printer, a laminator and a cutter along with software and another few grand for materials to start. Of course even this is just guessing. The question is, do you have the knowledge to use...

I know the main consensus seems to refer to Graphtec or Summa, but I've had a Roland for just under 3 years. Has been a very reliable machine, tracks straight and is very quiet. I'm sure you could find a used GX-24 within your budget, and IMHO you might even find a used GX-300 or CX-300 (30")...

Welcome fellow buckeye!

Mac user since 1994 when I started doing design and electronic prepress. Worked with both Macs and PC's and still do to this day. The RIP for my printer is a PC running Wasatch, all my design stuff is on the mac where I also run VMWare Fusion with Windows XP for my Quickbooks and the...

:U Rock: :clapping::U Rock::clapping: Rick, for 14 years I did design and prepress for my family's print shop. (Saw the writing on the wall years ago.) I switched to the sign business BECAUSE of the big bottom feeder print shops killing small shops like ours. I felt the sign industry...

Jim, if you do a search you will find numerous threads on this topic. You'll need to give more specifics as to how you will use the machine and the needs of your business. You also didn't say what size, and you also didn't say which model for the Mutoh. FWIW - only you can ultimately decide...

Merritt should be able to handle it. (They have a 120" Vutek and a 132" Scitex)

Sounds to me like you already have/had other issues with this employee above and beyond the bogus files. If this weren't the case, I would try to work it out with this guy - especially since he won't be easily replaced. However, if you've already made up your mind to terminate him, then do so...

A lot of threads on here already about the various types of printers you can buy. I would also take a good look at the Mutoh printers as well. BTW - might be helpful to list your criteria for choosing a printer; type of work you will use it for, size restrictions, etc. Service will be VERY...

I have built a good relationship with the Fellers rep. for my region. I know her extension and dial it every time I call in an order. I don't like/want to deal with anyone else, so if she can't answer my call I leave a message and she calls me back. She knows me by name, knows the type of...

Yup, I was going to suggest Folder Express as well. Pricing on short run probably won't be anywhere as cheap as Vista, but you get what you pay for.

Cutting Force/Pressure; Best bet would be to use the manual (should be able to download from Roland) to setup the cutting pressure. Also, there should be a test cut button on your machine that you can use to eyeball how your machine is cutting a specific material. Based on the results of the...

I pondered that question long and hard for the past year while I researched and learned about many different printers and their strengths and weaknesses. Basically, after all was said and done, the money spent on an older Roland didn't make sense to me. I settled on a used VJ-1204 and couldn't...

Just curious as to where other Mutoh 1204, 1304, 1604, etc. owners are buying their user replaceable items. (Sponges, wiper blades, waste tank sponges, maintenance stations, etc.) I know Fellers has a few things, Signwarehouse seems to have a few things, but nobody appears to have everything...

I recently got a 1204 myself and was told that the USB port is not capable of receiving print data. It is used for updating firmware only.
