I like it when sign people invent time saving devices for our own trade.
I like the concept....but I think it should be a lot larger so that it can accomodate at least a 48" piece of substrate. I figure that you can still use smaller signs in a larger unit. This size would be very limiting for my needs.
Good idea, I hope it makes you a million!!!!

Funny you should mention that it should be larger, it is on it's way. At present we do a lot of screen printing on the 18 x 24 or 2 up on 12 x 18, our main problem was on small orders like 10 signs or under where we could not justify charging $30.00 for each screen. This is where this machine comes in. So if I can print it out and apply it in a few minutes each, it is just easy money. This is also great for applying 12 x 24 magnetic signs or small metal signs.

Slick.. like it but agrees 48 inch + would better able to do smaller... myself I may do areas like hand letter the larger but vinyl a smaller area of the same sign.
In this area they sell the 18x24 so cheap and other types does not pay to even think about.
But I think you got a good product for sure.

Nice concept it would be good for newbies but I also like the bs. I also think the cost is little to high.
Good luck with it.

If you could make a version that could be mounted to a shopfront window/glass to hold a big/long cut vinyl graphic to make 1 person installs easier, i could see you selling more.
most sign shops will have a laminator/mounting machine that work the same way essentially. They sell 1400mm wide mounting machines brand new for $800 here, and that's on a stand with wheels, and you can mount up to around 20mm thick substrate. When I had one, I could easily laminate up to 2 or 3 metres length with it (usually 30" media out of my sp300v).
I have been thinking of fabricating some sort of "bridge" type device that holds a graphic up in the middle while you get your act together (hold everything with one hand), then let it go so you can do your thing.
Having said all that... I know some guys who specialise in small format graphics - POS items, countertop displays - and they work in limited space - This device would be suitable for such an operation - and I would say moreso for cut vinyl than prints (I can imagine there being some failed mounts with prints - cut vinyl is more forgiving with these systems).
Best of luck and let us know how you go.
