  1. What sells the most ?

    Go bang on doors and get your name out there. If you're in a commercial area you should be able to get started. However if you're planning on trying to do it on weekends and in the evenings then it may take a while. Good luck
  2. JV33 inksets SS21 or ES3?

    Still wrestling with the plotter issue. Trying to justify the extra 4.5K for the Summa against a weekend of fun and frivolity in Vegas. hahaha We have lots of solvent options(all vented) I was just thinking if the drop off in quality, colour gamut, drying isn't too bad we might go with the ES3...
  3. JV33 inksets SS21 or ES3?

    We've ordered a new JV33-160 should be here next week. Initially I had intended to get SS21 ink, 2 x 4c, but I'm kind of leaning toward the ES3 inks in the last few days. All our other machines are full solvent and we don't have an ecosol machine. Anyone have any inpuit or thoughts on the ES3...
  4. Omega 2.6 users (question)

    It's pretty simple really. Omega 2.6 can open all GA or Omega files. But earlier version can not open 2.6 files. That's the same as any of the major software pkg's, Adobe, Quark, etc... Rather than messing around backwards and forwards the best thing to do is get all your software on the same...
  5. Printable Vinyl

    That's because you don't have a market. You have a dumb idea. Did it occur to you if there was a vinyl/ink combo for simple printers that no one would need to come to you anyway? Silly rabbit!
  6. Live or Die

    Kill the gator I could use some new boots!!!! Think of it as a food chain. A**hole gets eaten gator wins and we win, gator gets killed I win new boots, it's damn good to be at the top of the chain and armed...the circle of life I can hear that catchy Disney tune now lol
  7. First Time purchase/set up

    If you are already familiar with Illy you can buy a plugin program to cut straight out of Illy. Signlab seems like overkill for a one off shop making a few banners. I could care less if you produce your own product chances are good you wouldn't pay me what I want anyway so I've lost nothing...
  8. Any Deals for 2.5 Omega Upgrade?

    Check gspinc.com Gerber usually runs some sort of special.
  9. Print and cut machine. which one?

    I read it Richard. :thumb: You are certainly a master of making friends whenever you post. Even without a picture or the makeup I can tell you're a clown. Good luck.
  10. Print and cut machine. which one?

    I don't know I think you're being kind of rude right now. Why not try "thank you" for those who tried to help you? Good luck with your purchase. For the record you DID receive excellent advice and information. However you seem to be overlooking that fact and bent on pointing out small negatives...
  11. Avery vs ?

    Mostly 3M with some Avery / Oracal thrown in for vinyl cut. We do quite a few emerg vehicles and use mostly Avery reflective and haven't had any trouble. We print to Avery's digital product and haven't had any problems. Everyone will have a diifferent opinion depending on whether they had a...
  12. Print and cut machine. which one?

    Apples and oranges. Not even worth comparing one to the other. I believe Fun Signs wants to do small decals. The flexibility of materials provided by the Edge and the ability to print spot colours would probably fit his need best. Especially it the machine is going to see limited use. But I'm...
  13. Print and cut machine. which one?

    Actually the Edge 2 is discontinued. You can probably pick one up with a plotter and the software for under 9K. Maybe less. look around you might be surprised what you find. I saw a Versacamm get auctioned last week for 5K.
  14. Print and cut machine. which one?

    Well the Edge will require specific software and any printer will require a rip. Most printers come with some sort of basic rip, but now you're going to get into colour correction and profiling. As has already been said this is not as simple as "I want I need I push the button". Do some due...
  15. Print and cut machine. which one?

    If all you want to do is print decals look at a Gerber Edge 2(used) or an FX, good for indoor or outdoor. For the most part it won't require lamination. But each has it's own unique quirks. What you asked gets asked almost every day. Search the various sign sites, check all the manufacturer...
  16. New JV33-160

    Less than 25K
  17. New JV33-160

    We already vent the big ones directly outside. The JV5 didn't seem bad at all with the filter on it so I hoping the 33 is the same. Can't be any worse than the Vutek lol. We'll probably add the new infrared dryer as well that Pattech is putting together for this printer..
  18. New JV33-160

    I had a demo today and I think we're going to add this printer along with a Summa cutter to our collection. Just wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts or opinions, rumors, conjecture or idle speculation.:rolleyes: Sometimes it's fun to gossip. lol Feel free to email or pm if you want to...
  19. What mac to buy??

    You seemed interested in combining both family and business into one machine. But the above is probably the best advice you'll get.
  20. What mac to buy??

    The Macbook is nice but unless you need the portability why bother. Plus limited screen size compared to the other options especially from a graphic design point of view. 17" vs 23-24" that makes the decision easy for me. I would go with the 24" Imac for your needs. It has all the power, ram...
