Ravenwind / One Off Grafx

The sister in law picked me up one of these HP DesignJet 755CM for a grand total of $2.50. The wife wants me to do huge coloring books. I would like to get into printing of some sort with it any ideas? It will make for a life size paper templates for foam signs.

Yeah there was a ton of stuff there like that. a newer printer plotter went for 25$ she just missed that.

I have a customer that wants a adjustable wrench on a door decal i know i have some but we moved and the office is still not all there. Still finding stuff that was lost and misplaced. Just a simple vectored one.

there are a few refurbished ones for around 6000 i paid 2000 for mine. I have a ton of work for it once i get it up and running. the programs look simple to use. all i need is a new print head and cap station about 600$ total and i am off and running.

It seems to be working out good had to get some new cables and rearrange some but we are doing good. Chomping at the bit wanting to get the DTG up and running. but orders are coming in so that helps kill the time.

Got one just had to get my mind off of looking and relax a bit and it all fell into place. Thank you though and sorry i have not been on here lately. We moved and bought a new place. Now working on getting a bigger shop to play in. Did get a DTG printer needs a print head and it will be up and going.

it was 111 here today in montana. all i could manage to work on was a nap lol have 2 transplants to do soon going to suck.

Hello from Montana

Had mine just over a year . The only trouble i had was the pinch rollers. US cutter did not stock them. So went to a site in china and got just the wheels for about $5

do you have a friend that has a small spot you can lease from them for cheap and plop one of the sheds there

This is more of the type i was thinking if you move it moves with you http://oldhickorybuildings.com/

the wife is expecting to get kicked out of my room anytime for the just cause of my vinyl and other stuff needing room. lol

Can you get a portable shed and turn it into a office space. Or what about a cheap camper gutted out to serve as a office and show goer.

If it is from the heat press you need to get a shirt pillow. There has been some talk on here about them before.

Also look at the wheel travel. I bought a LP2 1 year ago and all 3 pinch rollers went bad. Sad thing is US cutter had them on sale for 19.00 but never any in stock. once they came off sale shot to almost 40$ and had less than 3 in stock. Yes we tried customer service 3 times. went on line and found the 3 of the wheels for 14.00 shipped and fixed all 3 pinch rollers. But i noticed that when they start to travel even a tiny bit, it will start to wrinkle the vinyl.

You need to go into a bit more detail on how you will use it. I bought mine to Airbrush with and do a few decals for cars. Now i am doing full cars, airbrushing, sandblasting, glass etching, signs, and a ton more.

Looks great.

It is on a Ford DOUBLE your price. LOL I do $7.00 a foot so this would be about $180.00. Less if they remember to bring me a Monster or two. Barter is always good. As for them getting more stuff in the future is all good but i have found people say that to get a good deal then you never see them again. I tell them if you come back you will get a discount on your next order.

One other thing to check is to make sure you have the right color profile. I had a update one time and it reset my profiles took about a day to find the issue. Once i fixed that it was fine.

also make sure you do a head cleaning and a check

I had a walk in customer yesterday and he wanted a Boss 302 mustang stripe for his Ford truck. I have a few stripes but nothing like that. I was wondering if anyone had the eps file for it as i dont want to have to buy a new cd just to do this job. My second part of this is what vinyl would be the best to do it with? I normally use only 651 but this will be a customer that will give me a ton of repeat business if i do it good. Any help will be of great help. I will post a pic of what i am looking for. The side stripe mainly and over the hood.

No he never came back so just never thought of doing any more with it.

Spell check messes with everything

yeah if you lock it down and then run some vinyl through it will be off by as much as a inch. the pressure is right but the wheels shift left and right on there axle. sad thing is there are none in stock even when they were on sale.

I have a LP2 and the rubber grip wheels are loose they move left or right maybe 1/32 to 1/16. just 2 of them the third is tight. Do the wheels normally go bad? this cutter is only about a year old.
