Anyone please, I have tried to find a service manual for the SP-540i and I believe it also covers the SP-300i. Thank you.

No one?:(

Anyone here have the sp540i service manual, please? I just replaced the heads today and the manual I have has the wrong calibration settings. Thank you.

And to think I did his letters 14 inches wide. He has yet to bring me the screen printed shirt that he wants me to emulate. I almost bet you the letters wrap around to some degree. I measured a guy today that had a 3XL on and 14" looked fine to me.

Yea they were 18 3XL Gildan Ultra Cotton shirts and smaller sizes I haven't done yet. Its just simple Arial Bold text on the back that he wants wider. Im using white Easyweed vinyl, and he has loved the shirts I have done for them earlier, I guess next time I know to do one before do them all...

Guess I am going to ask the customer to get out a yardstick and tell me how wide he wants.

I did 18 shirts for a fire dept. and I made the text 14" wide and the customer is asking why I did it so small. I do know that is a lot of real estate to cover, but what would you do?

Ok I have found Texsource in Kings Mountain, NC They sell Workhorse, Hix, and Vastex presses.

I am next to Asheville, NC. Is there any dealers that sells presses, conveyors, etc in this 3 state area? I know of KolorMatrix in Atlanta. They sell Vastex. May look into a 6 color press soon.

Was reading over on the t-shirt forums that the Colorprint PU is much like the Stahls I use. You MUST yank the image from the carrier, not slowly. Must be why they are making this "Easy" HPV.

Would you say it feels like the Siser Easyweed? I see they also have a Colorprint PU that is supposed to be thinner.

Anyone tried any of this vinyl? Appears they just came out with this back in March. I have used Stahls Express Print and it is a bear to remove from the carrier sheet.

I have a SP-540i that is a great printer, but I was wondering how much more trouble or upkeep is there in a VS540 with the white ink.

Is the vinyl on a roll or is it a sheet? It will go left or right if the vinyl is not square to the machine.

You can setup a self cleaning in the menu. My SP-540i comes on ever so often, even surprises me once in a while.
