    I find it useful, more for purchases than selling though. But I did use it to get rid of some boat anchor printers, a truck cap and a few other things. My wife recently tried it to sell some of her art, that was a waste of time. Nothing but scammers.

  6. Trailer graphics - old

    Yep, gonna look like crap. How about an .063 aluminum overlay, glued and pop riveted. Probably cheaper than the time it would take to clean.
  7. Gold leaf flaking issues

    I prefer slow size, besides the extended window I was always led to believe it was the superior product That being said, I do use fast size on some jobs, like trucks or boats. I haven't seen this exact problem before, it does look like the size was too dry, but If it was the size that was the...

  18. Buying New or Used

    I use HP aqueous printers for a lot of poster work. Last 4 or 5 I bought refurbished from dealers with one year maintenance contracts. They have worked fine.
