We interviewed our Product Support Technicians to find out what their favorite products are at SignWarehouse.
Timothy, Leif, and Jason, experienced and talented Senior Product Support Technicians at SignWarehouse, let us know their current favorite products and equipment.
Timothy's recommendations:
EnduraLAM 24 inch Cold Laminator
Why Timothy recommends it: Size
- It is a great size for start up businesses or small businesses
- Since it is smaller, there is less of a chance for skewing (depending on lamination length)
- It can go on any desktop that supports the weight -- which is great if you have a small footprint
Banner PRO Hemming System
Why Timothy recommends it: Versatility
- Having the option for different material for different jobs is always a plus. Banner PRO can be used with vinyl, PVC, or polyester banner materials
- You can use it to hem your banner to look more professional. Also can be used to make pole pockets so you can create and hang your banners on curtain rods, giving your room some flair
- Great productivity - once you have it dialed in, the process takes only a few seconds to get the material welded together
- Uses a foot pedal, so your hands are not near the heated elements
- It has an additional height extension bar so you can use it for additional applications
Frog Juice
Why Timothy recommends it: Personal experience
- Customers get UV protection without having to have a UV printer
- Even if material is rated for outdoor use, Frog Juice increases protection from the elements
- Timothy enjoys making stickers and finds Frog Juice to be very helpful. Frog Juice keeps the edges of the decals down so they don't lift and peel
- Frog Juice provides protection without affecting the colors of my design. It prevents fading and dulling and goes on clear.
- "The mascot is absolutely one of my all-time favorites!"
Leif's recommendations:
EnduraPRESS MF15 Multi-Function Combo Heat Press
Why Leif recommends it: Great value and a real workhorse
- Can be used for a variety of items, including mugs, caps, shirts, and other flat items
- Small form factor will easy fit in most beginner work areas
- Great price
- Leif uses the EnduraPRESS for most of his projects at work and plans to buy one for his personal projects at home
MUSE ARTisan Best Cutter Package
Why Leif recommends it: Package is a steal
- What a value! Customers get a $499 entry level cutter and $1699 worth of software. It's like they get the software at almost half price and the cutter for free at that point.
- The Artisan cutter is a robust piece of equipment that is easy to learn and use
- The LXi Master Plus software is the highest tier in our LXi cutting software and has ALL the tools available to learn on
- Getting the Master Plus software is fantastic for customers looking to eventually expand their business, as it is compatible with a wide variety of larger, high-end cutters
- The cutter consumables are low cost (e.g. blades and cutting strips are each just $10)
- Boasts some very consistent and precise cuts with some more intricate designs
- Lint free
- Solvent resistant
- Keeping these, a pack of lint free wipes, and a bottle of cleaning solution on hand will allow you to do the preventative maintenance needed to keep your printer in production
- These are a must-have product for almost all recommended maintenance practices
- See these helpful articles about preventative maintenance
