Wow, you guys are a bunch of sweethearts. Yes, that's part of it. I also want to be able to be able to make things for nieces, nephews etc., and if things go well with the truck, then I can try other things. Excellent. It'll be advertising for myself, at least in the beginning. I may offer...

To put letters on the side of my truck. Not a whole lot. I've read some online about them and watched some videos of guys applying lettering to their stuff on youtube. It's my truck, so it wouldn't need to be perfect. It would be website related advertising. Thanks

I recently bought a GCC 24" cutter that I'm going to use for lettering for a box truck. I wondering if someone can point me in the direction of a good starter vinyl application kit. I see one on ebay, but not sure it is what I need. I'd like to pay for it through paypal rather than having to...

I see that the resin ribbons cost about $55 each, I guess it is that they just don't last very long at all if you do much printing. I'm looking at only a month or 2 of outdoor use before fading, when using pigmented ink like Permachrome?

I don't know much about the commercial printing business at all, but from what I gathered in one of my previous posts, dye and pigment based ink is not going to last long at all outdoors (even Permachrome from Colorspan?), especially with no lamination. How about resin ink from a Roland pc-30...

Ok, I see what you're saying now, I think - that if the banner is for a water park, it probably wouldn't be very useful in December. I really don't know what the banners will even have on them for sure. I'm hoping to get a couple businesses to advertise on them, and advertise for myself as...

Well, hopefully 3 years, I guess using 13 ounce vinyl banner material.

Thanks for the replies. Would a ColorSpan DisplayMaker DM XII with the PermaChrome outdoor pigmented ink work out, and last? It says up to 3 years outdoors, but not sure how acurate their estimate is. For a large banner of about 7 x 15 feet, the wholesale cost is about $2.50/sq ft, correct...

Hello everyone. There's a HP Designjet 500 42-in Printer at a local auction coming up, and I'm thinking of bidding on it if it will print for outdoor use. I think that I understand that the solvent type (and not aqueous?) of inks are much better for outdoor use, is that correct? For the...
