Currently running a VP-540i but considering a new machine given the Roland pricing in conjunction with the ISA show. I'm used to running 4 colors with my current machine, so any insight into the benefits of using 8 colors with the VG540? TIA for any insight.

Just started having this problem. After running about 10" of a print the machine goes into a cleaning cycle. I only use Roland Eco-Sol Max inks and manually clean the machine weekly or as needed. Printer status in VersaWorks shows no issues in printer status. Thank in advance if anyone has a...

I got tired of cleaning our stainless kitchen appliances. Between the doggie nose art and our two-year-old granddaughter's handprints it was never ending. And I know a guy! Besides, it's the lowest maintenance aquarium we've ever owned. What have you done around your house with your sign shop...

Big shout out to Michael and SignCenter for a quick turn dye sub banner they did for me. Customer placed the order as I was on my way out of the country for a week. I was able to dropbox the file to SignCenter on the road and they delivered a great finished product.

New seafood market in Boothbay, Maine. Customer had the logo already developed and wanted two 6' circular signs for the side of the building. I talked them into a scallop-shaped outline and digitally printed the shell ridges/logo and applied to 6mm dibond routed to the proper shape. Interior...

I purchased a 60W Epilog laser engraver a little more than a year ago to enable us to cut acrylic letters, etc. in house. And while we certainly use the machine for that purpose (general signage and letters), I'm finding a really big opportunity moving from B2B to the consumer market. Anybody...

Was asked to bid an installation job that will use Duravinyl 263. Never used the stuff before -- anyone have any experience with it? I did a quick search and looks like a wet application. TIA.

Customer called today and asked me to wrap their transom with mahogany Di-noc. Anyone use this stuff in a marine environment? The tech specs I was able to read from 3M made this sound like an interior only product. TIA.

Another boat job just completed. Angler by cwade440 posted Apr 23, 2017 at 1:01 PM
