SAD NEWS BUT TIME TRY AGAIN iDEAS ON XR640
OK guys I have not been here a while. Sadly for good reason!! My husband and I started this industry a few years ago and then stopped we had year or so break and then i became pregnant so we put the business on hold. Our intention was to start up again but never could imagine how our lives would have changed after the birth. Cutting a long story short in may 2012 i gave birth to a healthy beautiful boy Vasili and came home only for the next day a student midwife made a serous error that resulted in my son becoming blind deaf with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, it was in national news papers. This has taken us by shock and it has been very hard to come to terms with whats happened. Only recently my husband and I have talked and decided to set up a design and sign business very small scale me and him. we need to earn a income and it is both what we enjoy but think we will steer clear of big jobs that require large signs fitting and prefer to sub these out. Life at the moment is hard but we feel a void and wish to try this once again. i would put his website up but its against the rules. but put it this way my husband refers to him as ‘ my little spartan’
We are debating jumping the gun on a XR640 roland print and cut machine
reasons being time is money
space as it print faster more jobs can be done etc
quality needed for certain types of jobs so dx7 twin heads sounds good.
I was wondering of your opinions on this machine or shall i just save some money and go VS640 or similar.
We want to get ourselves back to a ‘as normal’ position as possible we had great plans before and sadly we will probably never be able to push the business in a direction we would have originally liked because of the situation with my son. We only feel confident now to start this now we have some carers come in to help and even so my husband will be the driving force like a one man band but I would like to come in and help a little. Its also about pride and we always wanted to set something small up for our children to have if they so choose in the future. We want to try and carry on being positive although this has been hard and to be honest I feel my husband needs a challenge and something to focus on separate to the home life for sanity reasons 🙂
Any help appreciated on the machine opinion
also costs of inks is a big question as they are £80+ for 440ml each and i Use to buy 1litre for £60 so what are your opinions on this???
