Yeah, I think that's the problem a lot of people are having with the machine. The stand isn't insanely rigid so it seems like it wouldn't take too much to twist it just a tiny bit and throw it out of wack. The good thing there is quite a bit of adjustment built into the takeup reel position so...

Awesome stuff, you've got a good future in this business! I especially like the wrap design, very different but very good.

You might consider jumping to CS5, if I remember I had similar complaints about CS4, like it wasn't quite "dialed in" or something and seemed clunky. For me, CS5 seems much smoother. The same goes for Photoshop, CS4 was very hiccuppy but CS5 is much improved.

+1, make sure you build in PLENTY of time for the installation, very slow is an understatement! And make sure if this is not something you do a lot of that you build the cost of the install tools into the price.

Both pretty much flawless, and excellent presentations too!

Are these self adhesive? We've done some similar to this before, self-adhesive, we printed on a 6 mil vinyl and laminated with 3 mil polycarb lustre laminate, and then contour-cut. Being on thick vinyl with a rigid laminate they were pretty easy to install. Any thicker than that and they'll get...

PM sent!

Give General Formulations' 203 gloss a try. We replaced 3651 with it a few years ago and haven't looked back. Prints great and has a bit more "body" to it so it doesn't get nearly as soft. However, if you're hand applying and not mounting through a laminator, premask may still be needed. And...

Trisolv dries slowly, you need to either slow your print down or crank the heat up (or use a heater), or both. We run Trisolv pretty fast but we use an infrared DigiDri dryer in front of it. I can't say if this will work for you or not since we don't have Roland machines, but we get amazing...

Jesse, we had that issue with 7.3, so I think any upgrade for us would be positive. Obviously we've only been on it for 2 days but the install was absolutely smooth which is the first time I've ever had that happen with Onyx, usually it's taken 2 or 3 installs before it gets it right. 7.3 hated...

Honestly I'm hoping my opinions of the Epson improve. Prints amazing, otherwise it leaves a lot to be desired, so far. But again, maybe because I'm just so new to it. So many of the RIP settings are vastly different from Mimaki too that it's very confusing. We're working through it. The good/bad...

Jaime, I talked to my tech about your take-up issues, he said you need to make sure the take-up is exactly parallel with the print platen. There are some allen screws on the left side of the takeup and a thumb screw, loosen the allen screws and adjust the unit up or down with the thumb screw...

I thought I'd post up a quick thread about this, it seems like a lot of people are considering moving from a JV3 or JV33 to the GS6000. We just installed the Epson yesterday next to our JV3 and JV33 so I thought some may be interested in our initial thoughts and a side-by-side comparison...

Most of their stuff is rebranded Orbus, FYI. You're probably better off becoming an Orbus dealer.

We've got a GS6000 being installed in about 30 minutes here, I'll ask them what's up with this to see if I can get an answer for you. I've been reading about the belt issues and the take-up issues so I'm actually a little nervous about this machine. We've always run Mimakis as well and never had...

Good job Doug, looks good!

Anything designed by someone named Tinker is questionable...

Dear god they have the worst A/R department I've ever seen. Whatever system they use is wacky. We cannot get any running record of how much we owe them at any given time. We've begged them to start sending us a monthly statement and they don't even understand what we're asking for let alone...

Aaaaaand we have a winner! Wow what an operation!

We need another printer and I just today got a quote on a new JV33-160 for $15,300, not including delivery/install/tax (expect another $1500-2000 for that, and frankly unless you've never seen a printer before, install it yourself, it's about the easiest thing in the world to do). Paid $16,800...
