Well we are in an air conditioned area. I haven’t ever looked into the humidity in the area but I will get something to check what it is at.

Thank you everyone for your help. I learn so much from everyone here. I slowed the head speed to 700 and ran uno-directional and it turned out beautifully.

I have never slowed the head speed down so I’m not sure how to do that but it is running 720x1440 in versaworks with I think 8 passes.

What would you like to see with the artwork? It’s very simple, vector based in illustrator, just black with a contour cut line.

So I am trying to recreate a vehicle graphic for a guy and have the design down but can’t get us to print clean enough. I am printing on a Roland xc-540 with Gerber metallic cast vinyl with the generic cast vinyl profile selected for the print below. I have tried different profiles but they...

So I have it looking pretty good at this point. My only thing now is the little bits seem so have darker edge which I’m guessing is from the ink settling to the outer edges. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Turned out much better. Probably just a little more tweaking but I’m happy with the results. Thank you!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have an Roland xc-540. With Roland inks, Roland heads, using versaworks with an the Avery mpi profile for high quality. Sorry I am kinda new at this. I have read about running more passes but wasn’t sure how to do that. I have not messed with calibration on anything. Our tech comes out when...

So I’m trying to recreate a old car graphic and need to print a black design on some scotchcal 3m marking film. My first run went pretty good except I have some black banding which I haven’t got before, printing on white vinyl. Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will try the head soak and see if it changes at all. Otherwise I will change the head. I had one head changed out earlier last year but that was because it just stopped working. I’m still pretty new to this stuff so not aware of what different test patterns mean. Thank you for your replies...

This print head has been kinda week since we got the machine. Now this is where it is at. I have tried cleanings and a head soak ( maybe 20mins). Is this just at the point of needing to be replaced? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I have a fc8000 and have had it for many years now and the media rollers are extremely hard to slide back and forth. I have taken them all apart and cleaned and lubricanted to the best of my ability and they get a little better but nothing like they should be. Anyone have any suggestions on...

Does the exact same thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well if I do a mark test from the plotter it works just fine and reads all 4 marks, but then if I try the exact same print, it see the one side of the registration mark and spits out about 6 inches of material and stops. Then asking if I want to retry. Will do it every time. Sent from my...

So I have a sign warehouse q42 and have cutting master 4 with illustrator. I’m trying to cut some decals I printed from my Roland xc-540 on it but every time I go to cut, it tries to read the first mark and fails and asked if I want to cancel or retry. I know the marks are good and the arms is...
