printer .. what do you recommend?
OK i recently opened my business ,and i must say that business is quite good but at the same time i somtimes have to turn down jobs because of the design (print job).to be honest i think it is time i bought a printer so i think now is the time to invest.
What do you guys think would be the best to go for but please keep in mind that im new to the printing and also i still have to watch the price :lol1: -

Our decisions are normally made at SignUk… plenty on offer and you can see what they can and cannot do.

Get the VersaCAMM, I have had mine for..days now..and it’s great. 😀
Joking aside, like Dave says check out all that is out there. A trade show is a great place to do this. Also, do like I did and find people that have the printer you are looking at and talk to them about it. The end user usually has more “truthful” answers than the sales rep. Although, I was lucky with my rep and he was very helpful.

did you get software with yours?

Yeah, well the RIP program. It’s called VersaWorks. I just design everything in Illustrator, save as an .eps and output from VersaWorks. It’s really simple to use so far. I use Gerber Omega software for the Edge, but it doesn’t have an easy time importing Illustrator files so I usually design in Omega. I haven’t turned on the Edge all week though with this new printer.
