Oh ok, this is how it works for versaworks. I can do the same for use in production manager and it will see the cut contour?

I have designed in CorelDraw and printed/cut through Versaworks on multiple Rolands for 10 years. I started at a new shop this week. They have an HP latex 365 and a graphtec cutter. They have never had an in house designer, and have gotten Corel set up for me. They have always set up prints in...

Did you ever get this issue resolved? I have had the same issue off and on for the last year with a VG-540. It comes and goes, but I have never gotten a solid answer from a tech or from Roland. We went through ink lines, dampers, cap tops, Ink line filters?, encoder strip, feed motor. They...

I attempted this install all in one piece. I couldn’t split it because the pin stripe contour was solid all the way around. Thanks Texas....I will message the seller and see if I can get anywhere. Andy, that would be a great idea, unfortunately I pulled it off before he left the garage. That...

I was pretty suprised myself to be honest. Which is why I incorrectly assumed I could get it on there no matter the vinyl. I wrap cars with wrap vinyl however, and this stuff was definitely not wrap vinyl. Anywhere it touched the car, it was stuck, no squeegeeing air from under it, no pulling it...

This is where it was before trying to pop any bubbles. The line of air bubbles is where I tried spraying it. The vinyl stretched in the back from trying to reposition it. And wouldn’t stay down in the dips after being wet. It had a heavy paper transfer tape on it. The guys brother married my...

Number A: You're correct. I couldn't pass up $50. The struggle is real, I don't make much money. Letter B: He's not my uncle. He's my uncle's brother. I had never officially met him before this job.

He doesn't seem interested in being paid back, he just wants this decal on the hood of his car. I don't think another one from that company will go any differently, and I don't have the means to produce it myself. I don't know how to help him. I've never been rude to him or blatantly refused to...

I think the product may have came from the same company as Unclebun was referring to. "Graphic-Express" was the name of the company. Any trace of a stripe kit for that car leads back to them. Thanks everyone for their responses. A lot of people wanted to insult my intelligence, and perceived...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I mean I would like to think of myself as professional, I have been designing, printing, and installing for 9 years. Been through many wrap classes and done many full car wraps. He may have "hired" me to do the job, but he hasn't paid me either. The way I see it...

I manage the graphics department for a printing company, but sometimes I will do installs for people outside of work. I have been doing this for years, never had a real issue. My uncle (by-marriage) 's brother, has a 1973 Ford Maverick. He bought a graphics package online and had me install the...

I meant to say bad roll of film, not laminate. However, I've printed several rolls of the same material combo with the same settings, and only seen this problem once. I had to use application tape due to floating elements in the logo, and when I went to peel it away, it pulled lam. and ink. It...

This happened to me once before with 3M cast film and laminate. The laminate peeled off with all of the ink. I never got an explanation outside of a bad roll of laminate. Have never had it happen again.

So I finished the job yesterday. I was only hired as an installer for this one, so I installed what they sent me, didn't laminate it. I was unaware that it had a protective layer over it, and was finding minor scratches no matter what I tried...(Soaped felt squeegee, Big Easy roller). I realized...

I have been designing, printing, and installing car wraps for 8 years now. I have never had anyone willing to pay for a chrome wrap, so I have never seen this stuff in person. I have a crazy rush job for a state agency this week, and they are drop shipping me some of the Avery SF100 Conform...
