  1. Question Everything I've learned about perf cut/die cut stickers

    Interesting! The empty edge around the stickers is where the perf cut will go? And then the kiss cut is to avoid disturbing the crop marks, then weed the stickers, switch the blade, and run it again with only a perf cut? I'm going to try that, thanks! I wonder if doing just the perf cut on that...
  2. Question Everything I've learned about perf cut/die cut stickers

    I'm also curious about how often to replace the cut strip. How hammered is too hammered? Often after a run of perf cut stickers, there will be a small cut across the strip under the cutting area. I don't usually change it until I notice a blade tip snapped off, then I replace both, or maybe one...
  3. Question Everything I've learned about perf cut/die cut stickers

    Great tip for breaking down the rows. I will try that, thank you! I've been printing the single rows with crop marks just for all these tests. When I do adjustments between those, and get it dialed, I take them off and put on the job, printed with regular size space between the crop marks...
  4. Need Help VG3-54 - Starvation issue?

    ah the mysterious Truvis bands! We used to see those a lot. This is a longshot, but if this easy trick works you'll be stoked! We had kind of similar banding issues with of VG-1 and VG-2. Tech suggested static, starvation etc. What ended up working for us was simply removing the ink cartridges...
  5. Question Everything I've learned about perf cut/die cut stickers

    This post is specifically focused around using the Roland VG-2 Printer/Cutter for laminated, die-cut stickers. I've been on the perf cut journey these past months. Learning a lot, but wouldn't say I've got it 100% dialed. I have more questions now than when I started, but have completed some...
  6. Versaworks Contour then Perf

    Yes, if you import the same file twice, one with a contour cut and one with a perf cut, and every other setting identical, that should work. first cut the contour file, then line the media back up from the top, and do the perf cut. I had a Roland engineer here a while ago, and I asked if there...
  7. Need Help Any Suggestions on Laminators

    bought a GFP about a year ago. We use it every day, zero complaints!
  8. Is Briteline comparable to Arlon?

    We use Arlon SLX cast (54"x150') for most of our printed vehicle wraps, and Arlon Fusion for application to flat surfaces like box trucks. Someone called offering us Briteline WrapCAST Vinyl Film that's about $200 cheaper per roll. When comparing kits with laminate, We could save almost $400 if...
  9. The amount of memory required to use the RIP could not be secured.

    Thanks! The computer has 8.00 GB (7.37 GB usable) installed RAM. It appears apps, documents, stuff on the desktop is using next to nothing. In settings, under storage, it says I'm using 650 of 819 GB on "other" stuff: dropbox, creative cloud etc. not sure what, if anything I should be deleting...
  10. The amount of memory required to use the RIP could not be secured.

    Thanks! There's a couple big files in there still that are unfinished, but I deleted all the other old stuff and still can't get these new ones to rip past 1%. But if I grab another random large file, like a full vehicle wrap side, those will rip fine. It's just this one job with the layered...
  11. The amount of memory required to use the RIP could not be secured.

    Versaworks 6 , Roland VG-2 My graphic designer just gave me these monster print files for a food truck wrap. The dimensions aren't more than one of our regular vehicle wrap jobs, but I guess it has of layers of glows or shadows or something, I don't really speak illustrator. In preferences I...

    that's my old thread derp! lol thanks
  13. Roland VG2 how to drain/refill the dampers (service mode)

    Does anyone know the street fighter code to put the vg2 in service mode? I'm seeing some drippy symptoms that I remember resolving once by doing a damper flush. I had a tech on the phone who read me the button combo that time and I forgot to write it down. Thanks!
  14. Looking for laminator recommendation

    Here's a video of me running some paper through the machine as a test before running these precious prints through it. I think I have a halfway decent grasp on the knob for the backing takeup, but I still have no idea how the knob for the upper supply shaft functions. In the video you can see...
  15. Stuck on a setup step w/ brand new Gfp laminator

    Update: After getting stuck on some super basic steps, we have run some jobs through it and they look great. not comfortable with the machine yet though. These four clutch/brake knobs on the sides are completely new to me. Our old cheaper one didn't have any of that. Any tips on how those work...
