I'm looking at getting a demo Epson S40600PC2 and it will come with a FC9000 64" Graphtec cutter. So.... I do not have room for a 64" cutter.
If someone is interested... I would sell the cutter for $6,000.. has a warranty.
Let me know. you can email me at herrinsigns@gmail.com. ..or post here.
ABOVE AND BEYOND!! Thanks! Removing the cover and taking a pic!!..THANKS!
I sent images to Grimco along with the LOT# of the Laminate (per their request). They think it may be a bad patch.
I will let you guys know. THANKS!
Alright kids..... here is what happened,
I went back in and put some slack on the chains to allow more pressure. I ran the laminate (BriteLine UV shield Intermediate) through and...same thing!
So, I used sample laminate that came with the printer (3M 8518 performance) almost no silvering! I am...
This was laminated 5 days ago. It is not going away.
Is it the Brite-line laminate from Grimco or is it a pressure issue?
BTW...Thanks for the help....This can be so frustrating.
This is the adjustment that was made after speaking with Dave.... When it showed up the chain was off the sprocket on the right side and just hanging on the left.
He told us how it was suppose to go over the phone. We took a sprocket off on the left side and got everything the way it was suppose...
I am 5 days into this Ustech Laminator and I almost have it running right. It showed up with the chain off it's sprockets. I think I got the chain too tight. With the laminator loaded, the roller all the way down, there is still a slight space between the rollers (they don't touch).
I have...
I just got a call from Kyle at Grimco about a laminator deal that they have.....
A Royal Sovereign 1401CLTW 55" laminator for $3,500.
Sounds like a good deal.
My Epson S30675
So, I GOT THE EPSON!
I am very pleased with the quality of this printer!
My next purchase is a laminator. Right now I am looking at a USTECH.

Not used, New-Epson S30675 Comes in this Thursday! Grimco threw in a boatload of banner and intermediate vinyl material! Plus, I ordered some sample materials from Ultraflex. I just have to pay shipping.
I REALLY appreciate the feed back...good and bad!
I was about to pull the trigger on a used printer for $6k plus driving 3.5 hours one way to pick it up. then Monday I got an email from Grimco
for a special they have on a Epson S30675. It is $7,995 delivered, set-up and training. They are...
Alright.....
Finished getting my taxes ready and I was way off on my original post!
I spent $19,420 (not the $7,000 as first mentioned) on banner and vinyl printing and $3,220 on poster printing. Not that anyone really needs to know that, but since I started the post with an incorrect...
WOW....ok.... Lots of sarcasm there! Of course you have to pay for ink and material and such.(Rent, electrical, internet...) I should not have used the word "profit".
You have to be careful what you say in here!
5sq ft x18ft (6x3 banner) = $90 customer price I payed $36.52 for the outsourcing...
I appreciate everyone taking time giving me their opinion.
I have been making signs now for 9 years and have been outsourcing my prints from day one. Each year I have grown more and more.
I pay $1.49 a sqft for banners (plus shipping) and $2.49 a sqft for intermediate vinyl and $4.98 and up for...
I'm paying $1.50 a sqft plus $10-$25 in shipping for every order.
please help me understand..
I will have less quality and pay more in shipping with my own printer?
What am I shipping?
Are you saying the quality of the banners are probably not any better than the printers I'm outsourcing...
I payed Signs365 and B2Signs a little over $7,000 in printing and shipping of the work I needed and an additional $2,500 in poster printing.
So, How much in outsourcing do I need to get to in order to start printing myself?
I thought that having my own printer would also open the option for...
