we always get a target color, whether that is closest pms color (picked by customer) or they give us a swatch to match. then we will make a couple sample color swatches for them to pic from. first go around will be figured in the cost but each additional will cost extra

just throwing stuff at the wall to see if it sticks but... could something be out of alignment with the cutter. maybe the bed or the cutter unit. something off level or not running on the track properly. based on all the trouble shooting you have done already might want to have a tech come in...

i wrapped a couple vending machines for a customer who told me he had the material already. got it on amazon and it was this vivid vinyl. i didn't care for it. luckily it all flat surfaces so wasn't too bad but it's definitely no 3M or Avery that's for sure. i told him going forward if he wanted...

we have a fuji/acuity UV, EFI pro 16h uv and roland uv. i found that the roland uv inks have been the best all around as far as what they stick to and the fuji/acuity is worst of the 3. the fuji ink if we run it on coro we need to run the sheets through our silk screen uv dryers to cure them a...

probably want to use the R-tape vinylEFX it's a vinyl coated polyester material so it's a little thicker and won't rip so easy. if you get the polyester material that tares real easy and you want to try and stay with a simple font like helvetica or Ariel. anything with fine seriffs will also...

i did a big sign job for a car dealership last year and they were adamite about not needing permits. basically they didn't want to wait and go through all the red tape so i drew up a contract that had all kinds of wording making them liable for any fines and or costs if we had to take it down...

we have had rolands for 20 years and we are also disappointed in the truvis line. the only thing i would say also having an LG-640 is you are comparing it to the XR machine. one is a UV and the other is an eco-solvent machine so i do agree with a lot of your complaints not sure you can compare...

we have always had print/cut machines. first off we have never had an issue with the machine getting backed up due to one machine doing both print and cut. (you have time in between with outgassing and laminating)when it was an issue it was because we had enough work to justify another print cut...

have a customer that needs some window graphics that they change every 6-8 months and they requested IJ180 so i found a clear version IJ180mC-114. just wondering if anyone has used this and how the removability is?

sorry to hear that but definitely agree with you. it's not just buying the printer it's what happens after you buy the printer. local reliable tech service is as important as the machine itself.

what type of printer were they run on? i use a 13oz ultraflex smooth banner material, printed on our roll UV printer and don't have any issues. maybe an ink issue?

PMS colors will probably become a plug in you have to pay extra for. have to pay for everything NOTHING IS INCLUDED ANY MORE...:mad: i remember when i started with illustrator we bought the disc loaded it on the two computers we had and good to go for like 3-5 years. basically we didn't update...

that's what i thought also...haha

i would demo them both and see which unit will best fit your needs with the least amount of headaches. when you demo the roland see if they mention the issue with the inks and if not then ask, see what they know about it. we have a mimaki solvent machine also and it's a great unit but it has its...

not sure where in PA you are but you can try tyrrell tech in Flemington NJ, that's like 25-30 min from PA they might be able to help you

the current roland eco-solvent machines are slower than machine like the xc and xr (xr might be the best machine they ever made) the UV machines are generally a little slower than the solvent machines. we were looking to replace the first truvis machine we bought like 4 years ago when they first...

just a heads up, we did end up purchasing the LG-640 and it's a good machine but they are having issues with the red and orange ink. we have been waiting for like 6 weeks for roland to ship out the new ink. the did give us a work around by putting cleaning cartridges in those two slots but i am...

best way, buy a UV flatbed printer..haha. actually the way signheremd explained is the best way that's how we used to do it (till we got a UV flatbed). maybe you can set up tables on each side of the laminator just to run this job or if this is something that will come up again build some tables...

also once you get it going properly write down all the specs/settings so if it runs again you don't have the same issue setting it up
