    Welcome to the signboards. I’m sure you will find a wealth of information here from willing signmakers ready to offer advice and pass on their experiences. These boards are a great resource for any independant signmakers.

    If I was to summarise the PC600 in a few words it would be:-

    A good machine – cheap to buy – but must be carefully looked after. Use it in a clean (dust free) environment at all times and ensure the substrate being printed on is well cleaned.

    The major downside of this machine is it’s high running costs. Therefore it’s good for producing small items and “one off” prints, but not cost effective for volume work or large prints.

    It’s also a vinyl cutter – a useful secondary feature of the machine that people tend to forget.

    A good way to learn more about digital without spending a fortune.

    Their poor reputations for reliabilty result in low prices which make these machines an absolute bargain for anyone buying second hand 😀

    “A good way to learn more about digital without spending a fortune.”

    This is what I had in mind…If This is the way forward, its probably best
    to learn on something mid range with short run capabilities…

    Do you Know any supplier details…So I can send for information…
