Does anyone have a print profile to use with Versa Works that would work well with the Convex vinyl and a Roland VG2-540? I'm having troubles getting a good print with different profiles I have. Thanks!

I bought this printer brand new in 2006. I just got a new printer for my business, and no longer have a need for this unit. New Roland heads were installed roughly 4 years ago. The machine has run flawlessly throughout the years. The only issue I ever had was in 2009 when an ink pump went out...

I have a used SP-300V for sale. I'm located in New Mexico. Let me know if you are interested.

I recently got a new Roland VG2-540 and trying to find a good media profile for the 3M ScotchCal 220 series clear vinyl. Any one have a good option for this? I've not been able to find a download for this vinyl on the Roland Profile Center. I've tried the generic media profiles that came with...

Yes, it is intermittent. Some print jobs will be fine, others will have some yellow streaks. It does seem to usually be in the center of the print job, about 15" in.

Had an odd problem come up with my printer yesterday. On some print jobs, light yellow bands are being printed. It's not in the artwork, and usually when I print again, they won't show up. This is appearing randomly on my print jobs. Any idea what the problem is?

It looks like we got it fixed! Turns out the up/down sensor needed cleaning. Hope this might help someone in the future!

Yes, I did do a alignment just a few days ago.

I'm running off of Winplot on my Summa S2 T75 plotter, in tangential mode. It starts cutting just fine, then the blade will start to hammer the vinyl, it is quite violent, with a lot of pressure, then go back to cutting okay. I've double checked my artwork, and even tried new artwork just in...

Great, thanks so much! I'll use this as a starting point and go from there. Sure am excited to try this out!

Thanks. Any chance you were using a Roland printer? I was curious to what vinyl profile to use along with heat settings.

I just ordered some Convex High Bond 6mil vinyl and Pro-Shield 12mil Laminate to make some graphics for me and my husbands dirt bikes. I don't normally do graphics like this, so I have some questions. I have a Roland SP-300V printer. Any recommendations for print/heat settings? Since this...

I was hoping someone could tell me where the Roland GX-300 plotters are currently made? I'm hoping still in Japan? My 3 year old Graphtec CE-6000 (made in China....argghhhh) just went out. Apparently, the main board is shot already. This seems rather poor quality to me. My Roland SP-300V...

Thanks Guys! I just talked to my local dealer and he said he'd be out Monday with the updated pump. I'll be sure he cleans out the lines when he's here just in case.

This is all great information! My first fear was that I'd have to buy new heads. Even if I have to pay for parts and labor on the pump, it won't be too expensive! I'm definatly out of the warranty period!
