Use a trade printer for your digital stuff while you save up. If there were a cheap way of doing it then why would people bother with expensive printers.
I don’t get asked for digital stuff a lot so most of what I do is done inhouse but when I do need something printed there are plenty of trade only printers who I can use.

yep sub out the print work untill you can afford a versacamm or equivalent or if you can finance one do so it will generate enough to pay the monthlys

I like that John ! sounds optimistic ! I seen one in UKSB shop for £4,500 but is gone now 🙁 I hope someone from Rolland will be on Sing and Digital with good deals !

try giving grafityp a call and speak to nigel on roland printers, nigel or neil i think that both deal with these machines. they sometimes have ex-demo machines. worth a go…
also, i see the new Roland advert is pushing brand new machines from £41 per week… http://www.rolanddg.co.uk/content/publi … Takes.aspx
personally, unless i knew/trusted the person selling the machine, or from a realiable source, i wouldn’t buy a second hand printer. its a bit like buying a car without the mileage clock. 😕

:yes1: explored the second hand route tricky unless you get lucky better through a dealer – I ended up buying new and not regretted that choice 🙂

I would agree with the comments about buying 2nd hand kit.
Although if you spent money on getting an independent inspection on the printer first you should removed the chance of buying a lemon.
But you still have to be realistic with what you would expect from 2nd hand kit.
Just saw this on ebay….

but Justin, You specialise in machinery and know your game very well…
Its a bit like a mechanic buying a car. he will know what to look for.
for the average sign maker, he is the spotty kid in a baseball cap, buying his first ever car… flicking thru auto-trader looking for the biggest car with fancy wheels. :lol1:
