Not taking anything away from outsourcing, I still like my hand in the trade as the "sign maker." Much of my gear is old-school and so is really only meant for a lower volume trade, which at present I am okay with. (Ioline Classic-Vinyl/ Edge for die-cut/ HP for wide-format-Z 5xxx Series-Roland...

Fred, Craigslist is where the rubber meets the road in humans trusting one another and playing fair and legitimate. If there is a high degree of symbiosis, (i.e. you really want what they are buying or vice versa) then it is pretty much slam dunk; meet up exchange cash for merchandise. You are...

The guy I started with at 17 used and swore by Rich Art...hefty price tag too. Hey thanks so much for the info; A lot of good feedback from teachers and artists on this higher grade tempera from Blick!

Greetings all, Amidst my multi-use bag of plotters, printers, laminators and engravers, there still exists a hand-painter. Guess that is something that just never goes away, profitability notwithstanding. It's in my blood. Back in the day there was really only one choice for tempera for...

This engraver has seen little use as the focus of our business has taken us in more vehicular directions. Installed self-stick/ healing SEKLEMA table matte, so no taping is required. Asking $1800.00 Pick-up in Fremont, CA. or will ship within greater USA. Please specify zip for a shipping quote...

As an almost exclusive Gerber edge user, the Daige solo 55 cold roll laminator has gotten little use. Tested with footswitch. 1 large roll of laminating material installed. All functional. Local pickup only in bay area (Fremont) that's in California. As these are a standard for wide-format...

Greetings fellow sign folk, Have finished converting my CJ-500 over to an SC-500 and the heads were not able to be saved. Have been at this conversion for a few months between jobs...really like to finish it up. Thanks for any help! Randy

Strip Tape Heaters/ Controller Hi there. Looked at both the Heater tape with controller and the JLD612 Dual Display PID Temperature Controllermeter. Did you rig these together/ and how ? Also the tape ...how is that adhered to platen? Is there adhesive and is it heat resistant? Seems like a...

CJ-500 Conversion-tiptoe-ing through process Greetings all. Have been putting my conversion of a CJ-500 on hold until I had all data and parts together. Other than heater, will now be proceeding. Upon opening the pump and capping station cover, there seems to be no way of getting those items...

CJ-500 Conversion-tiptoe-ing through process Greetings from California. Congratulations on getting your conversion done! Got everything needed for conversion except heaters. That's down the road a piece...and have doven in. Lucked out that the printer was already using pigmented inks, so have...

Dumbfounded by the Detail Fred, This response is above and beyond anything I expected. :thumb: Thank you so much for the care and detail. Best Rgards, Randy

Specifics on re-filling Edge cartridge with DC replacement foils...Please!! Fred, :banghead:Taking your advice on the quality of DC replacement foils I just dropped several hundred on a CMYK pack from Hyatts, but I thought the price good considering they are 100 yd rolls. I'm pretty savvy...

Did you convert? I took the plunge and bought a nice used CJ-500 and am also getting ready to go Eco. Printerconversions.com seems to have the most consistent system, but the 1770.00 price tag stings just a bit. I'm okay with taking my time and doing it right Computers/ printers all require...

CJ-500 additional question Greetings all... I also have a Roland CJ-500 and will be converting from pigmented aqueous in the not too distant future. In the mean time, have just been testing this just-acquired unit to print and cut via Signlab 8.0. Quite a learning curve there- but got stopped...

mouse moves quicker than brain. This is just an accelerated addition to the built in contour with corel and not an SL plugin. My bad.

Eureka! Signlab places a csc file in application scripts (tools/options/customize/toolbars) so that you can under customize, select the (Accelcon.csc) script and then select/move an icon of your choice over to the toolbar. The contour script will work when clicked. It is just different than the...

Probably right...Corel needs upgrade Software is sometimes like an old shoe. One gets comfortable with navigating while not realizing that other programs have moved forward and will be incompatible. I dropped several hundred to get into Signlab so perhaps its software month here at the shop...

Greetings all, I have downloaded Signlab 9.1 Trial to get up to speed with a purchased version of Signlab 8 coming shortly so we can rip to a newly acquired Roland CJ-500. I use CorelDRAW 9 and in the help files Signlab 9 trial states that when installing, Signlab will search for Corel and will...

You could sell that setup if you provided instructions and heater elements. Printer convesions wants $1300 for conversion box and tel support. I'd love to have it integrated without that big ol' box on top. Not all of us have the savvy to do this mod. Additional details would be great. I'm ready...

Why sc 500 Thanks for reply. But why would one change to an sc 500 on switches? Is this required to move to eco? I'm totally green about all this just having acquired my cj-500.
