An Art Degree Does Not An Engineer Make!

[fitnesssuperstore]

Hi Everyone, I'm new here. My company just purchased a Roland SP-540v and me being the one with the art degree, they said hey you make it work! lol We are trying to use it to make are own stickers instead of purchasing them from someone else. Lots of trials and tribulations, but we are getting there. Mostly watching a lot of youtube videos to education. Does anyone have recommendations for where to buy vinyl and laminate? I've been dealing with the company Denco and they are horrible. I've heard the name Fellers dropped around here.

So the company you work for wants to make their
own signs instead of having a sign shop make them?

I don't have a problem with that, but, as an in-house
designer, you would think they would get you some
training.

Have you tried http://support.rolanddga.com/_layouts/RolandDGA/productdetail.aspx?pm=SP-540V

There are old webinars too (I think a few specific to that machine)
that might help at Roland Academy...

^^ What he said.

No slight against you. But ever think not knowing how to "make it work" would imply that you don't know how to "ask for help". Just saying...

All the vendors listed by others are great.

+1 for Grimco.
