  1. White foils

    I miss running Omega and the Edge, this thread is so cool info wise it makes me want to pull the one I have for sale and set it up just to print whatever for no reason, lol. Whenever I sell one, I usually have to tell people that there is one feature that you don't usually get with other...
  2. Shipping question

    Hi Jim, I do move a fair bit of equipment. Most local stuff I try to hire a few guys and do it myself. Between truck rental, fuel charges and hourly pay for the guys it can cost not much less than what you have been quoted, as a matter of fact $250 sounds like a terminal to terminal type...
  3. Shipping question

    Make sure they lock down the head and use ALL original packaging they can possibly find. Insurance is not worth a bent penny if they can claim that it was not packaged correctly. Ask the seller to get you a quote on having an Authorized Roland dealer in their area do the shut down and...
  4. Fun with a scammer

    Oh Gosh, I would so love to have the same opportunity that you do...And to have taken the risk and gotten your just reward from the Nigerians too! I have in my possession the "Golden Spike" from the ceremony joining the East to the West by railroad. I can send a picture...if you want to just...
  5. MASTER Vinyl Cutter Plotter (Desay Canada)

    I sold Gerber for years, then Mimaki and a bunch of stuff in between. I am in the same city as Desay. They are of course a small distributor, and they try hard over the phone, but they get stretched out when it comes to really trying to go the extra mile or especially if there is an issue where...

    Hmm...I can't find the delete button... Craig
  7. I have a Graphix Advantage dongle

    You should be able to call Gerber Tech Support and they can tell you what the dongle is good for. The number is 1 800-222-7446. I don't know if they will want you to pay for a "support call" but you could suggest that once you figure out where you are at you are, but you might end up buying an...
  8. Contact Manager Software?

    The synch to a phone might not be so important to a shop based operation, but to a road based rep, it is probably my primary tool. Outlook is also still quicker to look up simple info as it is usually already open for email. Its once you get into managing info that Outlook does nothing for you...
  9. Contact Manager Software?

    Hi Gary... In answer to your question, yes that is exactly what I am doing, the reason being that it is easy to synch Outlook with the Blackberry, it is easy to synch ACT! with Outlook but I have not had the time to look at any of the 3rd party software for synching ACT! directly to the...
  10. Contact Manager Software?

    I use ACT, its great for me, you can also track opportunities, so basically if you want to follow up when people tell you about upcoming projects, you can call and remind them to consider you. Sage has salesreps that will go over the product with you over the phone, but compare the pricing to...
  11. Merry Christmas

    Merry Christmas to all! Hope the New Year brings prosperity and renews the creative juices! Craig
  12. Vehicle Graphic Training Courses.

    Contact John Leavers at ND Graphics, they do the most #M Wrap training in the area. His email is john.leavers@ndgraphics.com They usually do a deal where the pricing is pretty much refunded on your next 3M bundle order. Craig
  13. transporting printer?

    Whatever truck you rent, check with them in advance that you will have a wooden floor and rails down the side...some don't and you have nowhere to tie off or nail down to. Craig
  14. Grounding - Static problem

    Either would help but there are grounded mats as well, yes carpet is bad, I have found ceramic is best. Some people have just laid some snap flooring over carpet. Craig
  15. where I can get this tradeshow hanging round banner?

    The company I last worked for used the exact same type of setup. The guy that produced it is a great source for fabric printing and dye sub. http://www.iacgobig.com/ They ship all over... Ask for Kurt, tell them Craig Nelson sent you, Craig
  16. Grounding - Static problem

    Just asking the obvious question as well (others have suggested good fixes) but your printer is not on carpet, nor do you walk on carpet from where you store the vinyl to where you load it? I have had customers put Anti static roll mats under their printers (like the ones that office chairs roll...
  17. Cutlines don't match my print

    Hi, had no idea who I was speaking to. :) A couple of things to look towards...non of this is equipment I sold, so I am just going by what I have experienced as the competitor...First, I believe the FC4000 has the ability to compensate for stretch, since the cut line is bigger, maybe...
  18. Hello from The Equipment Guy

    Wow, thats not an easy answer... Yes I have shipped to the US. There are no obstacles that are insurmountable. Tariffs/duty is the main issue (if there is any) as equipment manufactured in different countries can have different duties. This is in theory, for the most part, used equipment...
  19. company holiday party

    Yeah, I was thinking of arranging mine for lunchtime today and heading to the pub to get myself wings and a beer. :) Craig
  20. Cutlines don't match my print

    What materials, sometimes heated lams can cause that. Is it just the one job or on anything you send? Craig
