CMart Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I have a 44" large format printer I bought to tinker with. I can make gallery wrapped canvas prints, banners, posters, etc. I made this for someone over the weekend. If anyone wants something similar done contact me for pricing. Thanks, Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 This makes me want my car done so I can have a nice big picture above my bed=) I wonder how the girlfriend will like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMart Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Honestly don't remember too much, but its relatively simple stuff. My biggest pet peeve is people (ahem OfficeMax staff ) 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 pretty awesome i cant imagine how much ink this goes through, my hp prints a 4 page document in black and white and runs out of magenta B C, m42b32, mkoepp and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Is there a minimum resolution you would recommend for prints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I may have to get some large prints of my car...Or some posters for the shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMart Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Is there a minimum resolution you would recommend for prints? 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. I may have to get some large prints of my car...Or some posters for the shop! Let me know and I can get you a quote!

YoungCR Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 150-200 dpi would be preffered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMart Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Even for canvas?The picture of the Lamborghinis was 72DPI and even up close it looks great. 150-200 dpi would be preffered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 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.

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.

You can print on the vinyl you cut then transfer that to a plotter and cutout anything you want. Think fatheads. suspenceful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REKIII Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 PM Me the good deal price. Looks like a neat unit to do some large format prints for my wifes place. Great marketing as well.

CMart Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Just counted and I have 3 full rolls (BNIB) of canvas for gallery wraps, one roll of photo paper, one I didn't open to see what was in there, and a roll of canvas on the printer. Decent chuck of $$$$ in paper alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
