Hi Doug. I have an SC-500 EX .. I've had it for over 3 years now. It was converted to EcoSol (with heat assist) last year. The biggest downside to the printer was the original proprietary Sol Inks wich limited me to printing on coated media. This was fine just three years ago since the...

If you think you can afford the payments now id say go for it! Buy yourself a Mimaki or anyother competing printer. You'd be surprised at how much more work would come in because of it. I presently have 4 print jobs lying on my tables and each of them are for 4 individual sign shops. It's...

I was also wondering about where you heard of bad Roland tech support. If anything the bad service comes from independant supplyers and that applies to any brand of equipment. No complaints here .. Have an SC-500 EX AND Camm1 24"

takes all kinds of people to make a world :cool: ... unfortunately!

Hi Micheal. If the printer is in good working condition than yes its a good deal. At that price im not sure if it is converted to eco-sol inks. They originaly used proprietary Sol Ink. These inks will be discontinued in september. You will have to switch over to eco-sol. You will be able...

I worked in a sign shop for 14 years ... this was mostly monday to friday with the odd weeknight. The last 7 of those years i also worked out of my house. So i worked days, evenings and weekends. After quitting my job in early 2002, opened up my own shop and worked 7 days a week and not...

Check out Goldsmith script from letterhead fonts. It's got the same feel.

Same here .. I dont understand ... I contour cut and i only have to have 2-3 inches extra. Look at your settings.

I bought my plotter based solely on the best deal i could find back in '98. I got the Roland Camm1 24". I'm sure there are many other "better" plotters than it but it has certanly given me many years of great production. It certanly cut 100% better than my old shop's 3 gerber gsx 15" plotters...

I think of a professional's identity on say a door or glass entrance window. The first thing that come to my mind is Palatino. Ever since i asked for a font recognition and it turned out to be Trajan ... Im seeing it ALL OVER THE PLACE !!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

As a test ... increase your the size of your object by 2.5mm .. see what your output gives you. It wouldnt be the perfect solution. But short term it might get you out of this problem.

Its definately the heat reacting with the vinyl. Try different kinds of vinyl. They dont all react the same way. I'd still be worried of the increments being off also when applying the vinyl onto the substrate.

Serpentine bold

If there is one thing i miss from my old days using graphix advantage was the <> kerning keys in composer. I sure wish other softwares had this kerning capability.

I first started in my basement ... I think its natural to start from home. Just dont undercut your prices to much because of that .. Always stay competitive with other shops. This way once you do get out of the house your existing customers wont freak out with any price increases. One of the...

Here are the ones i use regularly for fast good looking layouts. If a customer gives me an ok to do an extensive desing i'll spend allot of time going through my fonts to pick out something specific. Light Sans Serif - Univers 55 roman, Futura Medium Bold Sans Serif - Univers 75 black...
