  1. Hosting custom emails since google is gone

    Yes, you can do this. I have several different domains I send out of using one account. You add the domain to google apps, then add the account in your gmail as a new "from". Once this is done you'll have a drop down similar to outlook in the Account field. Unfortunately, email as it is is...
  2. Looking for a portable printer

    Before you buy the BN-20 make SURE the speed of it will work for you. I'm honestly not sure how you can make much money with that machine, it is REALLY slow. The edge on the other hand can crank out a lot of decals. Combine it with the tractor feed Envision plotter and you can cut a huge runs...
  3. Hosting custom emails since google is gone

    Another vote for Google apps account. You don't need one for each email address you can set it up to use multiple aliases and it works well. I've used it for a long time now. It is also works well if you use an android phone.
  4. Roland vs Mimaki

    You'll have to be a little more specific to get some helpful info. Are you looking at Mimaki latex or Solvent? The JV33 is rock solid and proven, but does have some disadvantages to new latex options (no smell, instant dry, print quality). Since you know roland machines well you may be ahead...
  5. If you prefer Summa over Graphtec or Roland. I'm curious why? Fill me in

    Why do you assume I'm talking about atomic accuracy? I'm not. A cutter is useless if it won't cut predictably accurate, at best horribly frustrating to use day to day. We would cut entire 54" x 150' rolls of vinyl decals with borders/bleeds in 3'-6' sheets and toss out a lot of random sets...
  6. If you prefer Summa over Graphtec or Roland. I'm curious why? Fill me in

    I personally would never buy a Graphtec going forward. Used the FC5100 and then the FC7000 MKII for several years. My biggest gripe is the cut accuracy, I can't even begin to explain how many jobs we've done on the 7000 and had to work around the cut accuracy limitations. Don't get me wrong...
  7. UV Screen Printing Question?

    You should be asking your lawyer and or possibly insurance company that question but most likely yes.
  8. Cyrious - Online Design & Ordering

    Design online is big business. I've developed a lot of tools like this one and have been involved in online design for many years now. However, pitching online sign design tools to local shops I do find a bit curious though. One of the few advantages I see to this is that your customers can...
  9. home printing business, 3dmuralls wallpapers, posters and anything in between.

    Probably asking the wrong question, focus on Make/Model machine rather than print head. The heads are just one of many factors to consider. The real issue I see is that your are talking about printing on wallpaper, canvas, suede, vinyl, and paper. You're also looking at doing art reproduction...
  10. Rastek. Seriously???

    No, the Rastek line is junk. I continue to be shocked to read the people that have these. A simple search on this forum shows years of negative posts about these machines including the H650 and T1000. I can't recall a single positive thread on these machines. I believe EFI is even dropping...
  11. Good small format decal / label printer?

    The Mimaki CVJ30-60 is a great machine , print and cut in one and built on proven technology. A friend has one and it is a very nice machine. He actually purchased a 24" ebay laminator, no bells and whistles, just two rollers and a foot pedal and it has worked well for over 2 years. Before he...
  12. Hosting emails

    As far as webmail goes gmail is the king. I use it for personal and have an apps business account. If you are wanting to cut down spam then you need to keep up on your unsubscribes and tagging spam. Gmail as a whole has one of the best (if not the best) spam filter available. Google also...
  13. Roland or Mimaki?

    The CJV is a nice machine if a print/cut all in one is what you are looking for. The inkset, head, and platform are all around very well proven now. Many of the ink system components are shared in the JV33 and JV5 among others. The Mimaki take up system is similar to the JV3 if not the same...
  14. The most overused font in 2013 is.....

    Opened this thread thinking it would be Lobster, yep! I agree
  15. Race Car- Dirt Late Model Wrap Vinyl??

    It works great for that. Honestly the cheapest air release vinyl you can get would be fine on race cars. Most of them get pretty banged up after a few races.
  16. Anyone run a sign shop like New Belgium runs a brewery?

    You've got to start somewhere. I co founded a business 6 years ago with a $500 worn out vinyl cutter working evenings after my day job. The business now has two full time employees and does well. You can still do A LOT with just a vinyl cutter. I guess what I'm saying is that you're going...
  17. Onyx 11 - Anyone else find it unuseable?

    Those types of issues are the worst. Nothing like queueing up a huge job over night and discovering they all printed wrong. Sorry I have nothing useful to say other than I've used Onyx since version 6 and I would never recommend it to anyone. Used to deal with Onyx headaches weekly on...
  18. JV3-160 SP cyan overspray and odd test print

    I've seen 2-3 of these heads do this, every time the head needs replaced.
  19. NAS For Small Business

    Matt-Tastic summed it up well. I've used a few of the small to mid range NAS units like what dlink makes. Once I purchased a Synology I'll never go back. They are great! The interface is awesome and features you can't beat.
