Hello, has anyone using a Roland VS-540 found a suitable Eco-Solvent ink profile for the 3M 7300 printable reflective vinyl? https://www.3mcanada.ca/3M/en_CA/p/d/b5005047254/

That's interesting... could explain why our labels tend to screw when we do a print, lam and cut, and sometimes it even screws on just a print and cut.

Thank you for this info. Our VS-540 was bought in Canada in 2012 through All Graphic Supplies (now Spicers Canada) and the S/N starts with VAX, so I'm assuming it would not accommodate the new board :(

Interesting - hopefully this will be all we require as well. Our tech from Spicers (Canada) indicated that it's getting harder to find parts for these now. Sincerely hoping it's nothing more than the cables. Do you happen know at what serial number these machines are no longer upgradeable to the...

Hello, and thank you for your response. Much appreciated! We are going to replace all four of the long cables while they're in there, as if one went, I'm sure the others are not far behind. We've actually had this machine since 2012 and have been extremely happy with it. As we are only a couple...

Thank you for this information -much appreciated. I have new ribbon cables on order and hoping this will resolve the issue.

Hello, we have ran this file successfully on a few occasions, but last night our Roland kept inserting these random marks in the artwork. Has anyone ever had something like this happen to them before, or what could this be a sign of? We had the head replaced about a year and a half ago and...

Just went onto ND's site, and... holy... but I did find something on TCT's site that looks promising. I always like to use the right material for the job, but I'd need 48", and didn't factor in the additional for mask. Live and learn, hey!

Thanks so much for the info, I will look into that 992U, and hopefully it's more reasonable than the other. Wouldn't mind, but I really don't need a whole roll of it for the price.

Thanks for the explanation on this, "Snydo" - I did not realize all this about the mask when we took on the job. We have decided to go with our standard Medium Tack mask, as I can only get that air egress mask in very large rolls, and we didn't factor in the cost of that when we bid on the...

Does anyone know if we still need to use a special mask for this air-release film. We recently watched (an old YouTube video) that indicates there could be issues :( One supplier has indicated... ... from my experience, you can use something called AirMask 510U Clear Premask for Air Egress...
