The city has a warehouse that once a month it sells things from different departments. Today their signage department sold one of their plotters and I snatched it up.
It's a Graphtec FC7000 64" cutting plotter. Everything works fine on it, came with those bag things that the vinyl falls into I...
I am working on increasing my equipment and doing more in house manufacturing. This is not a sales advertisement as I don't do a whole lot in house right now and don't sell wholesale.
In the future I will become a merchant on here, but I want to find out what people have a need for. There are a...
Only 15 hours left, if anyone is in Florida, this is an amazing deal for you. I would buy one off someone if you can remove the ink and flush the lines, but I don't want to have it shipped and the print heads seize up on me over the course of 3 days.

Has anyone used Arlons new Flite Technology vinyl? Apparently it hovers above the surface until you are ready to apply it. Sounds like something to do with static or something. Curious if it's good or junk.
A couple years ago I saw that Roland sold a LCD screen setup, it included a monitor or TV and a control box. You could input information from a computer and it display on the screen.
I cannot find this anymore, does anyone know if Roland still makes it? I can't remember the name which makes it...
Now I see why so many sign shops stay small and have little to no employees. I've had the worst luck of employees. I've had 12 - 14 employees totally, currently have 4 not including myself.
They screw up nearly every job, they aren't friendly, they don't care about their work, they have no...
GR Series Large Format Cutter | Roland DGA
That is the brand new release of the Roland GR-Series plotters. It appears it can cut through anything from cardboard to PETG. But there is nothing that gives any examples of what kind of materials it can cut.
Is it possible to contour cut magnets on...
This shopping center had to go and ditch the standard highway font and used something completely different.
So I believe the Speed Limit part is Times New Roman, but I am lost on the numbers, any idea? Thanks
So there is a restaurant down the street from my shop called Afghan Kebob. They got in a lawsuit and had to change their name. So we've done work with them a few times and every single time they complain about something.
Such as when we put in brand new flood lights to shine up at his sign, he...
So I believe I am growing too fast for my own good. I've been taking large jobs from a corporate account of doing pylon signs at car dealerships. Yesterday we worked 16 hours to remove 3 pylons, the biggest at 35 feet tall. 3,000 lb sign/posts. We are using a 55' shooting boom forklift with a...
So for years I've used Tapco's handheld nail slot punch to punch oblong holes in real estate riders 0.40 aluminum. It used to work and then the punch got dull and I bought a new one. The new one didn't last long and now both won't punch. I went to Lowe's to try a Kobalt one and it was worse and...
A sign shop in North Carolina has gone to auction and they are selling everything from their Roland printers/cutters to laminators, heat presses, vinyl, furniture, etc.
But what gets me is like their Roland Sol Jet 54" printer. It has 6 print heads, the machine has been turned off and the lines...
I have a Roland VP540i 54" eco-solvent print and cut. When I print gray or 100% black, under my shop light it is the correct color, but in sunlight or other lighting it has a green tint. Even when I print CMYK 100, 100, 100, 100 or 0, 0, 0, 100 it's always green tinted. Any ideas?
My black...
So I've been learning about vacuum plastic forming and know how to do it. However I am confused with how to create the object to actually form from. Such as Gemini's formed plastic logos. They have details and at only $84, I doubt they are making a hard copy out of something expensive to create...
There was a shooting in my shop parking lot this morning at around 4:00am. One guy was killed. Still waiting on more details, luckily no buildings or my bucket truck were damaged.
