You need lamination on anything going outside, and sometimes inside. I'm not sure what an "arrow wrap" is, but anything on a vehicle 100% always laminate. If it's cut vinyl, not needed, but printed...ALWAYS. I really think you are jumping into something you need to do some more research on...

Ok, no problem...just thought I was gettin' spammed or something. Sounds like you are lookin' on eBay. That's risky business not knowing anything about the items. It's hard enough buying new from a vendor, and them backing up the product. There's a huge learning curve there. I'd REALLY...

Didn't you just ask this exact same question like an hour ago? And why are you hitting me w/ PM's asking me about stuff?

Pretty sure there is no such thing as a "low cost" RIP, and if there was...pretty sure you wouldn't want it. It's the key to your printer actually giving a crap when you print jobs.

Now that's a GRAND format printer...GEEZ!

Did you check to see if your pump is just out? I wasn't getting two of my colors in a test print, and it's just because my pumps were shot...replaced them, and about 30 mins later was back up and running...didn't have to have anyone come out. I deal w/ Advantage.

I just started using Bordeaux. So far so good. Didn't have to do any fills and clean out the old lines, just stick the new one in, and let er rip. Haven't replaced all the colors yet...but like I said, good so far. Since my warranty is up, might as well check it out.

UNLESS it says "Admin" then it's got a little meaning behind it!

I'll do ya one better...use Eric Schmidt (The Vector Doctor) and you can get the same thing made in America, w/ a real person that will help you out for about the same price.

Welcome! Also, another good idea is...if you aren't a graphic designer yourself, but want to run the "sign" aspect of it, and just do the grunt work, hire yourself one. I know enough to get by, and when we have to create something from scratch, or do logo creations, I call in a real designer...

We didn't get our extension either...I'll let ya know if it pays off...

Yea, if you don't want to do it that way, I use Fine Cut. Don't know if I'd pay for it, but it's what Mimaki uses I think....not 100% where it came from.

Long as you have a bunch of staff to cover "drive by's" or "tire kickers". Ya know, the guys who want stuff for nothin', and waste 30 minutes of your time explaining that. That's the worst part about us moving to a high visibility area. Bein' a one man shop, it really sucks.

I'd think you would bust your machine up if it isn't industrial. If they are indoors, we just use the banner hemming tape Feller's sells.

9' office/work area ceilings, and (4) 12' X 14' doors in the shop. I'd probably do 14' X 14' if I could have my choice...just a little bit limited...but the depth has been my biggest problem so far. The shop was an old service shop before we bought the place and gutted it, so not real deep for...

I thought that was just for sending LOW RES pictures to customers for proofs. The pudding I'm using I'd NEVER use for a screen capture program...maybe it's got another function that I'm missing though. I'll have to research this tomorrow. You got my wheels spinning.

Is it free to move on both sides of the plotter? I had it bunching up a little behind the plotter once cause I was trying to cut too much, and I just should have moved it away from the wall. It wrinkled just enough to make it start tracking bad. I assume you would have noticed it doing that...

Oh man, I wouldn't flush the system just for leaving a week. Although I don't promote it, I have had an instance when I couldn't have anyone around to clean it for a week, but it isn't like the heads were going to dry up. It still keeps pumping ink while your gone. I just cleaned it really...

Humm...I saved all mine for about a year, then decided to trash them. I'll start takin' them to Staples if they'll do something w/ them though.

We just don't do customers front car windows. If they want something on the back, it's usually a business, if they want something up front...what I want to charge them for the job is usually more than what the car is worth. I've just started sayin' no to some of these guys cause they get too...
