Solidworks, Alias, & Cinema 4d are others you may want to look into. I went to school for industrial design so we used solidworks for modeling and c4d for rendering. Haven't touched any of these programs for 4 years now but wish I did because I feel like I forgot most everything.

$3500 for both the printer and laminator?! Well last night I found a local one about 3 hrs away. He is asking $5k with no software. I think I'll try offering $3500. Yes I agree if I had to spend 7k I'd be better off finding a jv33 for 9-10k. But if I can find a jv3 160sp for $3-4k I think it'd...

I appreciate your reply and explanation. I am a newb to large format printing so your assumption is correct. What software are you using with your jv3 and how do you like it?

I asked the seller about the condition of the print heads and any banding issues. He said that the heads are calibrated and 100% working properly. But he mentioned that the printer has always had light banding issues on certain colors especially pastel colors. He also said when banding occurs he...

I found a jv3 -160 SP for sale about 3 hours from me. Coming from a Fast Signs still in operation. Now I saw the price for print heads being expensive and I don't want to have to change print heads righ after buying a printer. Is there a way to check the print heads to make sure they are in good...

Thanks brother!

Anything specific to ask the seller when buying one? Any known problems?

Sorry, but I have ADD and couldn't finish your post but I skimmed through it. Have you thought of buying a business condo in an industrial park? There are some going for $150k. If you are looking for a live/work space, becareful...because I don't know if I'd want strangers coming to where I...

What's the difference in the S and SP? This is my first solvent printer. When I bought my first automatic screen print press I only bought new because of the factory warranty. The warranty has save me some troubles. Is it wise to buy a 7 year old printer that I have no idea about for $7k or...

Thanks guys. I'm not strictly a sign shop. I'm adding this to my exsisiting screen printing shop. So I dont want banding!!! I've almost always hear Mutoh with banding but i think this is the first time someone brought up banding issues. They're asking 7k and I've seen some on eBay selling for...

I found a 2004 JV3-160 SP for sale for $7k. I hear lots of people recommending Mimaki printers. I'll be using this in combination with a fc8000 cutter. Will the fc8000 be able to recognize the registration marks from the Mimaki? Looking to do car wraps, decals, stickers, banners with this...

I just missed Rolands vehicle wrapping class held here in Portland. Anyone in Oregon or Vancouver WA that does vehicle wraps and wants to get into screen printing or just learn the ins and outs in my shop (i can teach you auto or manual) want to trade lessons? I go to your shop one weekend and...

Ok thanks. I found that some are weatherproof. Just signed up.

Thanks! And there kind of local to me (I consider Washington local). Have you used these guys with success? I took a look at their site and it doesn't say these are weatherproof. Do you know if they are laminated?

Good job! I made my own payment schedule so I could pay off my credit cards (back from when i was in college). Im using the "double stack" method, where I pay $100 on each card then when one is paid off, I put that extra $100 towards another card making it a $200 payment and so on. My wife and I...

You can't do a highlight white because you don't have enough print heads. I'd go white underbase, flash, white underbase, flash, yellow, black, & red with your situation. Do not underbase the black. Only underbase the yellow and red.

Are there any wholesale Flexograph sticker printers?

Thanks i'll check that out. Here is my original post on something I'm looking for. http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80277

I check equipused.com, craigslist, rtrservices.com for used equipment everyday. Sign shops must be doing well? Because I don't see many printers or cutters for sale out there. What other sites are there?

Do you guys hire a subcontractor installer for wraps or do you DIY? My shop is a couple doors down to a large car modification shop and they hire subcontractors who install their window tints whenever they need them. Seems efficient but curious what you guys do.
