I can't get information from Rolls Rollers to save my life. I called in December and got a voicemail that stated he was out of the country for 10 days. I followed up 10 days ago with a phone call and email. Have yet to receive pricing or info to my inbox. He did call stating email issues with...

I saw the DIY make your own mat video ... ehh ... too much work for unwarranted result. I did finally see on speedpress where they mentioned custom sizes available and have sent them a request. If they have 6'x12' mats im hopeful they can make one 4 feet longer. We'll see! Thank You all for...

I linked the wrong adapter ... doh. I too have a graphtec FC5100 which is RS232 ... i had been using and identical Keyspan Adapter but we recently retired that machine. I can't imagine keyspan being the only option. The one thing i do remember from the day we received the plotter was the...

We have an Epson S30670 For Sale. Original owner. Purchased in May of 2014 from Grimco. Selling because we jumped on the latex train. It has had a head replacement under warranty as Epson had an issue with their Cyan ink that cause nozzles to clog. Epson came out, flushed line, replaced head...

I had this issue with another printer (non roland) and for us it was a heat / humidity issue. It was winter and the temp in the printing room was lower than normal along with the dry air. We upped the printer heat and pumped some moisture in the air and the ghosting cleared right up. Not sure if...
