Trade Show Video

Posted by adamyukish on November 2, 2009

Hello all.  I exhibited at the NBM Printwear Show in Charlotte a couple weeks back and shot a video with the folks at NBM in our booth.  The video was limited to three minutes but you can get an idea of the products I represent at Imprintables Warehouse and also get a chance to view a bit of our Trade Show Booth if you haven’t made it out to see us at a Trade Show before. 

Here’s the link to the video:  Imprintables Warehouse Booth – Charlotte.

Also, if you’re interested in coming out to a show, the Trade Shows page on the site has been updated with the shows Imprintables Warehouse will be exhibiting at next year and the shows which I will be attending.  As free registrations are posted, I’ll add them to the site as well.  Keep checking  back!

Introducing the Roland Versacamm SPi Series

Posted by adamyukish on October 8, 2009

In early September Roland launched the latest update to the Roland Versacamm’s – the SPi.  Available as a 30″ SP-300i and a 54″ SP-540i, the “i’ series has brought the original Roland Solvent Print/Cut machine in to more modern times. 

Some key improvements from the SPv series:

  • Printing quality has been improved by bringing Roland’s revolutionary Intelligent Pass Controltmto SPi series.
    • Ensures high speed printing with virtually no banding.
  • 50% faster printing in Standard mode.
  • Improved media handling
    • The SPi now accepts rolls up to 66 lbs
    • Additional pinch rollers added to help accomodate the larger rolls.
  • Improved Drive system
    • Belt drive system replaces the previous cable drive system making the accuracy and quality of Print & Cut rival that of the VP series.
  • Ethernet connectivity replaces USB
    • The faster Ethernet connection can work off of any network allowing an entire office or work area to have access to the same machine. 
  • The larger maintenance bay allows for easier access to print heads for cleaning.

Even with all of these improvements, the SPi series is in the same price range as the older SPv.  The SP-300i lists for $12,495 and the SP-540i lists for $17,895.
