So I'm still having this issue unfortunately. If I print on HQ with HD white, I can get a decent result, but if I do 32p Artistic white HD I get some slight banding. Standard non HD white, has a lot of banding - not sure if that's just standard. Waiting to get some samples from someone else who...

Thank you so much for your helpful advice. I'll take a look at the assembly with some care when I next go in and try the feed compensation you suggested. If it's still not 100 percent, I'll check with them about the other tests you suggested. Much appreciated.

Hi Thanks for replying back to me. I always do the adjustments on the printer itself and set Versaworks to use the printer feed settings. I would set the calibration correctly but noticed that they would drift slightly if the tests were repeated in succession. I have Roland care warranty in...

Hi, I recently acquired an LEC2. I've been having some issues with white lines showing up when I print white. Please see picture below - is this normal? or any suggestions what can be done to correct it. The lines can only be seen at certain angles and lighting. Feed is calibrated but have...

That's good to hear. How do you think it might fair for my use case? What I'm looking to do is apply a UV printed graphic with lots of small transparent section to the back of some clear acrylic. I wanted to then back with gold mirror to fill those sections. Some of the ones I really like are...

Thanks for replying. I'm trying to find some decent mirror gold polyester vinyl that I can mount onto the back of acrylic and laser cut. The ones that I've come across here in the UK have a short durability.

Hi, I'm just wondering, if vinyl has a low durability rating of say 2 years what would happen to it after 3, 4 or even 10 years if it was applied behind acrylic. The acrylic blocks UV, so would it still fade? What exactly would happen over time in this scenario since it's well protected. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I should have clarified though that these are injection moulded polycarbonate pieces so no film to remove and air out. The substance film that I tried is supposed to be really high tack but barely stuck on! I'll try primer 94 and see if that might help. I'll give...

Hi, I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I want to apply some UV printed graphics from a roll to roll printer onto polycarbonate/Lexan and would like to achieve the strongest possible bond possible so that the edges can never be picked away at. I recently got...

Wow, really that bad even with the BOFA? It sounds like this printer needs to be buried 50 metres from the earths core and I need to purchase a hazmat suit. More worried now about how customers are going to react when they receive the prints themselves. I've decided to go ahead and look into...

Hey, thanks for responding. My thinking is to use it at home for the short term so I can take my time to get familiar with it and the other equipment I'm looking to buy. Also it gives me time to try and hopefully get some sales for the products I'm looking to make, and if they don't, I could...

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. After speaking with someone via DM who has an LG, I think they have improved and reduced the amount of wastage thankfully. Still not the best though. Thank you for taking out the time to give me such a helpful reply, I really appreciate it. What's amazing...

Hi, I'm currently in the market for a roll to roll UV printer. This is a huge investment for me to make and I don't want to get it wrong. I've been split between the Roland LG and Mimaki UCJV series of printers. I'm based in the UK and leaning more in the direction of the Roland as I've heard...

I'm not sure why it would be senseless. I need to position the ducting over the print head which would allow me to catch any emissions. I could also put in a carbon + HEPA filter in between the in line fan I suppose so the air extracted out is also filtered. UV inks according to environmental...

Thanks for replying back to me Troy and Gino. That's a good idea, I'll ask them, although I would probably still be sceptical coming from China. I'm planning on a simple design for the enclosure an open front and no base. Technically not an enclosure I suppose, a box with no front or bottom...
