Intros argh I’m so bad at them.

Hi All

i’m paul based in Devon I have thriving business making decals and signs for a well known company and their staff.
I make vinyl graphics and sublimate a few things also.

I'm looking at going into eco solvent printing for stickers and banners along with T-shirt’s and posters.
Sadly I signed up here in 2016 but never actually posted until now as I have never felt I had anything to offer.

I am happy to answer any questions I can and will offer my services if they are required.

Thanks for reading and sorry for the rubbish intro.
Paul.

Welcome Paul.

Welcome to the forum Paul. Do you have the eco solvent machine yet?

Not yet.

im a little put off the bn-20 just because of the max size of the printing area.
i would like a bigger machine but space and costs are just a killer for me.

I work from home so I have a workshop/garage and £5k is my limit

[Justin]

Yeah, I've never been impressed by the BN-20 (personally) mainly due to the incredibly slow speed. I knew it was slow but when I saw it, wow. If you've been looking at the BN20 I would personally suggest looking at the Mimakis.

I have a 54" latex which is leased, I'm looking to sign the lease over, I won't get bogged down here but if it's something you're interested in send me a PM, fabulous bit of kit.

That’s a 54” so too big for my space allowance sadly otherwise I would have taken that.
I have actually been looking at Mimaki machines but I can’t afford new and 2nd hand scares the crap out of me with printheads being £1k plus I don’t want to take the risk.

Welcome to the forum Paul!
Lots of people will consider the Roland SP300i and SG300, and on the Mimaki side you have the CJV150-75's. All a little more expensive but as Justin said leasing is always worth considering.

[Justin]

Yes, bear in mind machine sizes, my 54 inch machine needs a good 90 inch space and then you have the 6 foot cutter!
