Thank you Ronny Axelsson Also thank everyone else for the feedback. It's much appreciated.

HISTORY: We are replacing our Roland SP300v with a mimaki ucjv300 so that we can expand into a wider market. However, we do not want to loose the capability to do print and cut type t-shirts. We also from time to time may need to cut (none printable vinyl). I wouldn't want to put that in...

I am attempting to print on some concept 250 (wall frog) wall decal paper. It was originally a 54" roll which I had cut down to a 24" and 30" roll. While the 30" roll works fine. The 24" roll seems to raise up on the printer. I'm afraid it will case a head strike. I roll the paper down...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. As I said I replaced the caps/dampers/wiper. I also have cleaned the encoder strip a little. After reading here I went back and gave the encoder strip a thorough cleaning. The printing is much better. I am able to print a decent green now. I will go ahead...

Does anyone have any idea as to why I have been having trouble printing decals that have large areas of green. When I started getting this issue I immediately changed the cap tops, dampers & did the usual maintenance cleaning of the printheads (see first photo). It got better but it is...

Yipee, I'm back up. 2 Ladies (my daughter and I) got it done in about 3 hours. Would have taken less time but one screw striped and gave us a hard time getting out. Hubby helped us get the screw removed but we did the rest. It was a very tedious job I got a quote from a company that told...

Hi, My versacamm SP300v is having problems. It begin earlir this week giving me a 0.0 for the media width in the morning. After pulling the level up and down a few times it go from left to right and then register the correct with. However this morning it has consistetly given me either a...

Hi All, Ok wanted to come back and let you guys know that I have sorta solved my grainy/dotty issues. I never got to plan with my heat settings as i decided to first "upgrade to the lastest" version of versaworks as i had 2.6.1 installed. So figured that could be part of my problem...

i'l play with heat settings tommorrow. Thanks

Hi All, Thanks everyone that offered assistance with this. First, i found that "8300 mactac" isn't eco solvent based material. It's straight vinyl that can be cut. The installer used it to test print to make sure the printer was printing and said he was leaving it with me. So I assumed it...

I am trying to test printing stickers using mactac 8300 pro vinyl. It's not a preference it's just all i have as the installer left it when he did the install of my versacamm sp300. In november the prints to that material looked grainy/dotty but i wanted to focus more on other types of...

Thanks for this suggestion we are actually considering them too. Our delimma at this time is "imprintables/stahls" offer the t-shirt end which we are very abreast with already vs Nazdar (i'm wonder what their training involves) i'm assuming (more of a sign makers aspect). So i was trying to...

Thanks for the advice i have "Updated my post" to include a brief about my biz and a list of equip used. Signed, Calvinh

Hi, I am considering the versacamm and have a Nazdar and a Stahls rep both talking to me. I wanted to get feedback on your experience with either company once you purchased your versacamm from them. - How was support (I know these machine are well built but what if? i know some...

Hi All, I'm new here and need some feedback. I'm in the process of considering purchasing a Versacamm SP-300 (before anyone says get a 540 or a VP model money is tight and i'm trying to get into this now not save up as biz is so slow i need something to boost biz). Anyway my question...
