      Here are a few test prints I did for my office. I didn't wrap them, but they show the capability of the printer pretty well. Can you tell I like Lambos?

      Also, I have a camera capable of taking pictures that are suited for high res printing such as this. I am no professional, but these new cameras make it very easy to look like you know what you are doing.

        My first job was running large format printers. Would be cool to have some prints done once I have a car worthy of a photo shoot.

            Honestly don't remember too much, but its relatively simple stuff. My biggest pet peeve is people (ahem OfficeMax staff :rolleyes:) handling materials without gloves. The oils in your fingers will soak into the paper and the bleed through the ink hence ruining the print. Otherwise you're only as capable as the equipment you own!

                Is there a minimum resolution you would recommend for prints?

                  Or some posters for the shop!

                    I have seen quality prints as low as 53 DPI on canvas. I have never tried lower than that. That being said I like staying above 100.

                      150-200 dpi would be preffered.

                        Even for canvas?

                        The picture of the Lamborghinis was 72DPI and even up close it looks great.

                          I meant to add not on canvas as it can't convey the detail. I guess what I did was art gallery quality prints so might be a little extreme for this stuff. Either way the higher the better is what I should've said.

                            Anyone entrepreneurial looking to make some extra money?

                            I am moving in a few months and don't want to take this. Wiling to give a stupid good deal to someone who will use it. I made my money back on this thing in 6 months and next to 0 marketing. Comes with a ton of extra ink and paper. I can even include some wood/tools that allow you to make your own frames very easily.

                            More info below:

                              I was interested in this good deal until I saw the price. I figured these wouldn't be cheap, but damn.

                                    PM me - this would be a great addition to your setup. You can print on the vinyl you cut then transfer that to a plotter and cutout anything you want. Think fatheads.

                                      Good deal is relative. Also, I would let it go for much less to a forum member that will put some use to it.

                                        Not doubting that it's a good deal, just too rich for my blood as well. Looks like an awesome piece of machinery.

                                          Damn, this would be awesome to have. Wish I wasn't dumping a ton of money into an engine right now.
