I'm thinking of buying a used, well-maintained, Mimaki JV3-160sp. It's 6 yrs old and was used in a high-production environment. Any ideas what a fair valuation would be for it? Thanks in advance. Paul
Artbot: Yes. the white backers are 2s taped to the columns and the 1/2" (18"x18") blk pvc is siliconed to the backers. But pvc doesn't behave like acrylic in the heat. Acrylic will expand and contract evenly ... returning to its original shape. PVC will warp like a potato chip and stay...
My 1/2" thick Komatex (pvc) 4-story-open-air-parking-garage signs are warping in the So Cal desert heat (probably 115 degrees at peak). The signs are NOT at all exposed to the sun. ONLY exposed to the ambient air temps. 1/8" thick white pvc backers are mounted to the garage columns and the...
I'm in the market for an engraver/router that I can use mainly to fab ADA signs. Wondering what folks recommend. So far I like the Gravograph IS8000 and the Vision 2550. Might go smaller. Considering buying a used machine. Any advice, comments, suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in...
Gino,

Paul

All great points. Thanks. I do have great ambition and will be constantly on the lookout for ways to differentiate myself in a meaningful way. I welcome the challenge to take my business to a level where skill and quality and intense customer focus and satisfaction is valued. It won't be easy...
Thanks Fred. I really appreciate the advice. I'll look for those mags. I do plan to be in Orlando. I went to the very underwhelming ISA conf in San Diego but I have heard that the national show is quite different. It's also gratifying to see that people read and respond to these posts. I know...
Thanks Rick. My plan is indeed to start basic but to advance quickly and to quickly find a defensible, and hopefully substantial, niche. I have limited graphic design experience. I'm hoping the hours I put in and the dedication to ramping up will pay great dividends. Your recommendations would...
After 20 years in the high tech field in various sales, marketing and business development roles, I've decided to embark on my own and jump into the sign business. My sign store will soon be open. I'm either going to startup a new business or acquire an existing one. I'm very much looking...
