  1. WARNING TO PRINT SHOPS – DO NOT BUY A ROLAND PRINTER

    I have a VG2-540 and a VG3-540 and have no issues at all. We did have issues a couple years ago with banding on the VG2 with blues but nothing else. We print wraps on the VG3 everyday and they turn out great. We run Versaworks with both printers.
  2. Colex SXC1732 vs Esko X24

    I have had my Kongsberg X24 for almost 3 years and love it. Only down a handful of times. Their support is good as they have talked us through issues. I have preventative maintenance done every year and that helps too.

    I'm in Webster. Sent you a PM.
  4. Buying my next printer

    We had a Roland XC-540 for many years and it was a work horse. Finally retired it an got another Roland VG2 and then a year later got a VG3. The VG3 is hands down my favorite. It runs all the time without issues. The VG2 had banding issues.
  5. Colex SXC1732 vs Esko X24

    LOL
  8. Printing United This week.

    I got sample prints from both the trufire and agfa printers and went with agfa as I felt it had a better print quality. All subjective.

  10. Printing Backlit Signs Face's?

    I would sub it out to B2sign. They can do a single layer for daytime or a double layer for nighttime. I've got an Agfa and print white color on translucent vinyl
  11. b2signs

    I ordered a bunch of back drops with black backgrounds and they also came out like yours. You can not get a rich black with sublimation.
  12. Roland Truevis VG2-640 - Banding issues

    I had the same issue with my VG2 when it was under warranty. They replaced the head along with all of the lines and many other parts. I still have issues especially with long prints of solid blue backgrounds, I bought a VG3 and use that for most of my prints now. The VG2 is used for simple...
  13. AGFA Anapurna H3200i-LED streaking issue

    I did have issues printing on black acrylic. We don't do much acrylic and when we do we just print on clear then mount.
  14. AGFA Anapurna H3200i-LED streaking issue

    Wow that's crazy. Everyday we flatbed print on Max Metal and then laminate with Arlon cast laminate and then router cut on the Kongsberg with the graphics facing down. No issues at all.
  15. AGFA Anapurna H3200i-LED streaking issue

    Interesting. I've had my H2500i LED for 2 years and do not have any issues you are talking about. It has been a good machine for us.
