READ.... my friend.........READ. THOSE MACHINES ARE NOT WORTH MONEY. Unless you want a $2200 doorstop. Plus you can't just "jump" into the printing field, it's a big learning curve.

For under $2200? Sorry, you won't find a machine of any quality for around that price, even used. I'd suggest save your money for the right equipment, and until then... outsource your printing to a wholesale printer. The PC600's are a nightmare. Don't even go near them.

Been there done that. Triple lam the print or if it's cut vinyl then auto clear. The vinyl will shrink eventually, but look good for a while.

Welcome! Sounds like you're having fun. ;)

Man, you're right in town. Amazing how many Vancouver guys come on here. Welcome!

Gerber Solara is less than that new. I think in the 60K range? Saw one run, only downfall is it's a touch slow.

Welcome. Ignore Ken, he's sleepy. :Big Laugh

BS. This is still a business for designers. If you cannot make a quality design, you will not make good money. Your vendors are simply trying to sell you equipment, I had almost 3 years into vinyl cutting and making signs, and when I bought my first printer it was a month before I made my...

Ah.... it was on RGB. I'll try with everything under CMYK and see how it works. 4 little cute colored dots, not 2, right? :)

No spot colors, just using a CMYK color palette and a Corel color palette. :( :( :( :( :(

How much detail do you need? I could draw one up for you...

The colors I chose were all CMYK... I'm using a CMYK color palette.

It didn't do this before I reloaded the program, so it has to be something simple.

Ok, so I had to reload Flexi 8 a couple weeks ago. Now I have a big issue. My gradients don't print out right. I can print out 100% cyan, and it comes out ok. But when I print something right next to it that is a gradient from white to 100% cyan, it comes out as a goofball greenish-blue. Any...

Agreed. My apologies. He still might find it useful though. :cool: On with the newbie initiation! :Big Laugh

How so? How does autocad help you become a better designer? It gives you an idea of lines, but it does not make help you become a better designer IMO. Very few of the functions cross over. I almost went to college to learn CAD design, I got a good look at it. Not for the sign industry.

Autocad is vectors, but doesn't really have any real world sign purposes, so doesn't help all that much. Sorry, it simply doesn't. Q series is made by Graphtec. I currently own one and it is not a bad machine. Some features are dumbed down, but it works very well and is incredibly reliable...

Oh... sorry. :(

It's a valid question. Some of these would never fly in the real world. So is this a test of pure creativity, or real world designs that we try to sell everyday?
