Anyone out there printing with Pigment ink? I got a Canon imageprograf 8200pg for next to nothing the other day and was wondering if it is good for anything besides taking up a huge chunk of office space. I was thinking about using it to make up some short run political yard signs by printing on vinyl and sticking it onto coroplast. Any suggestions as to what vinyl to use?

Mine was just dumb luck. I bought the cutter to cut templates for my Pottery business. A construction company asked me about making 75 license plates, DOT numbers, and Door decals for their fleet of vehicles. Needless to say this first job more than paid for my cutter, software, and all the supplies I'd bought up to that point. Good Karma....I guess.

I'm making some large banners to go across a busy street. The banners will be 3ft high by 48ft. long. I've done some of these before but had some trouble last year with a pair of 60ft banners that came down during a storm. I don't want that to happen again. My question is... what thickness of banner material is best for large banners like this. I usually use 16 or 18oz. material for large banners like this. However, I wonder if at some point the weight of the heavier material starts to work against me. Is it possible that lighter weight material should be used?

I bought a used Canon imagePROGRAF w8200pg recently. However, it did not come with ink. I bought some w8200 compatible ink for the printer but to my dismay it was dye ink. Does anyone have a Canon w8200pg, or know of a place to buy the pigment ink for it at a reasonable price?

All the time. I wouldn't recomend metallics (chrome, brushed aluminum, etc.) though. They tend to release from the banner after the customer unrolls it.

Does anyone have the template for the Ford "Super Duty" inserts that go on the tail gate? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thank you so much!

looking for a stretched chopper (motorcycle) vector. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NGlantz sells Lexan in various colors I would recomend .177 thickness (less than $100 per sheet) or better for lightbox signs. Acrylic panfaces are the most durable but are much more pricey. You can also by clear Lexan or Plexi and cover the back with translucent vinyl but it is less expensive to buy the already colored Lexan.

How many of you are dealing LED signs, and who are your suppliers?

Ok, ok let's see....... get magnets from the fridge, apply four small pieces of tape, align the vehicles suspension, adjust air pressure in each tire so the vehicle sits perfectly level, calibrate eyeballs, measure once/cut twice, then apply the vinyl wet or dry and it won't make a difference. Got it! Now i'm ready to apply vinyl.
