    New Printer ordered also!!!

    Took the plunge and ordered a Roland VersaCamm 540i. Have some ideas that hopefully will give me a good return on my investment. Can anyone recommend a good software package to design vehicle windows and wraps? Thanks.

    I believe that printer comes with the VersaWorks RIP software, so all you need is a graphics program powerful enough to handle the file size. I have done many wraps but never bought a printer because I have a guy that does just printing and uses me for laser work. We even trade at times. He is using Adobe Illustrator for the artwork and AVA RIP for his HP printers.
