  1. Printing on HIPS?

    I bought a printer a couple of weeks ago (solvent) and it came with a dozen or so rolls of material. Two of the rolls were HIPS. I've never used and needed this material before, what would be some common uses for it? One roll is 64" and the other is 54". Thanks, Scott
  2. FedEx expanded their sign capabilities?

    FedEx has had wide format printers for a long time (36-48"), but I didnt know they're subbing out "signage". Just seen this video showing Magnetic's, cut vinyl, plastic/metal signage, large-format "up to 10' wide" and lamination/mounting. Damnn...
  3. Switching from Sam to OEM on a 9000s

    The Sam ink is suppose to be "plug & play", but what about going back the OEM? Can I just put the OEM cart and the charge the ink? The sub tanks are big, I would hate to have to pump out that much ink. Thanks, Scott
  4. HP 9000s Ink? Who is using what??

    I getting back into the printing business after 5 years off and settled on getting a couple of used 9000s to get my feet wet. One of the negatives that come along with the 9000s's is the ink cost. Found a couple of printers for sale. Some of them have only had OEM inks in them, but most have...
  5. Newer printer with an older Flexi??

    I have Flexi 7.5.5 and if I get an HP 9000s, how the heck do I get the driver and ICC's for Flexi? I looked at flexi's web site and there is nothing. Their site is close to useless IMO. Can I email them to add it to my 7.5.5 or are they going to tell me to upgrade? I know, I know, "pay the...
  6. Whats a fair price for this printer?

    Seiko Colorpainter 64s that been sitting for a year with clogged heads? Im thinking its close to being worth parts only. I have a price to offer in my head, but I thought I would ask some of your guys for your opinion. I'm really kicking my self for selling all of my sign equipment, in the back...
  7. Im baaaaack!

    Im a newbie here, this decade. :banghead: I was here for a while, but was working full time and running a 2 man sign shop on the side. I was busy with the sign stuff, but my full time job was still making me more money. Both jobs was taking too much of my family time so I decided to close down...
  8. Pro's & Con's of the Arizona 180...

    Can some of you please gave me some of the pro's and con's of the Arizona 180. I see a lot of them for sale, is that because they are that out dated? Thanks, Scott :smile:
  9. Edge2 or a Easy Bake Oven?

    I got the crazy idea to get a Edge. It will have to be used, so what do I have to know when looking. The good, the bad, you know. I have 7 years of wide format inkjets under my belt (60" and over). Other than a few months of using a Roland PC60 back in 97' or 98', I know very little about...
  10. ISA is in Orlando, Florida this year. Anyone going?

    I was wondering if anyone is planing to go to the ISA show this year in Orlando? I asked last year, zero people said they going to the 05 show in Vegas. Im just asking to see more/any people where going to make this years show? ISA can cause infomation overload. :) Lots of fun though.

I was thinking, mybe we could get a...

  14. 7.6 Flexi for Mac OS/X Tiger is very unstable?

    Ive been hearing that Flexi 7.6 has many bugs in Mac's new Tiger OS. Has anyone heard the same? I was about to buy 2nd Flexi Pro for Mac and I am a little freeked out about the things I heard. When I called to ask about Flexi for Mac, and the flexi dealer said she has had a ton of unhappy...

  16. I need help!

    I have a couple of Illustrator files that are saved in a version that is newer than mine. If I emailed the files to one of you, could you re-save them in version 9 for me and send them back? Please please please? I dont know what version they are. Maybe CS. If someone is willing to help...
  17. Flexi Upgrade?

    Fred, I just got a 7.5 upgrade 3 weeks ago, and NOW 7.6 comes out. Do know off hand if I can get 7.6 w/o kicking down $550 more dollars? If you dont know, Im going to call Monday. And one more thing, can I get Flexi to call up the dongle over the net? I would like to sit home and design sometimes.
  18. Colorspan 98SX or Mimaki 250-SP

    Any body have input on these two printers. Im going solvent in a big kinda way. The Mimaki is cheaper (get what you payfor), but the Colorsoan has faster print speed, and an onboard camera for making ICC profiles on the fly. The 98sx was 700 feet/hr at 600X600, but the new one is going to...
