Local print shop was updating it's hardware and got a nice desktop Roland with some supplies for $850
Gotta buy an Adobe Illustrator 10 software package for about 200 bucks....unless anyone has a package they don't use no more....kinda doubt it.
Gonna try and do onsite race numbers and side scripts at the track....looks like it only pulls about 1-2 amps and my converter can handle that draw....
Anyhow...thanks for all the suggestions....don't have to rely on my jail bird supplier anymore....
