Yeah, because that's what we do in our spare time... LOL

Thanks so much for sharing that!

I feel for you! After 30+ years in business I try to just let this kind of stuff roll off me. We are not mind readers and while they just have their "one" project, we are always in the middle of many such projects. Sometimes peoples expectations are just too far out there... might be time to let...

Thanks for your suggestion :)

Can anyone tell me if it's normal for the platen on my VS540 to be a different temperature on the left and the right sides? I'm having a lot of problems with skewing when I print, lam and cut decals, and am now wondering if possibly the material is stretching more on one side than the other...

Thank you everyone - I will have to check out the pinch roller frame/assembly, hopefully that's all it is, as I've recently dropped over 4 grand into this piece to have the print head replaced and it prints beautifully, but this recent cutting issues has really screwed our production up. On...

Thank you for your suggestion... unfortunately, that did not fix it. Appreciate your message though.

We have a 54" Roland Verscam that is about 12 years old. Our problem is when we print, lam and then CAD cut decals, they tend to skew a lot. We are not sure if it's a heat issue from the dryer that may be causing the material to stretch and then shrink (we tried turning the heat down, turning...

Thanks for your suggestion, Pete - I might give that a try. I'll let you know if I'm successful :)

I am cutting printed media with rounded edges and some intricate shapes so I suppose we'll just use an Xacto knife as it's not a lot of pieces. Thanks for your suggestions - much appreciated.

Thanks for your suggestion - it's just a few pieces so will hand cut with a knife, but if I do find a better solution, I'll post and let everyone know. As we are located on the west coast of Canada it probably wouldn't make sense to have these done at your shop, but sincerely appreciate your...

Thanks for your suggestion - it's just a few pieces so will hand cut with a knife, but if I do find a better solution, I'll post and let everyone know.

Thanks for your response - yes, it only a small amount of pieces that need to be cut - will try a utility knife and see how that works. If I find another solution that works better I'll post and let you know :)

Can anyone suggest a power hand tool (aside from a CNC) that could be used to easily cut semi-complex shapes out of a sheet of 4mm chloroplast?

We allow the print to degas for a minimum of 24 hours and then apply the over lam with rollers (we have a Royal Sovereign wide format cold laminator). Area was thoroughly cleaned with an alcohol mix and installation was done indoors at +10C as recommended.
