I am reading your thread with interest as I also have an older machine (VS-540) running VersaWorks 5.51 on Windows 10. Here are my thoughts. VersaWorks 5.51 seems to be an update of VW 4.0, so use 5.51. I found an old Roland site with a trail that linked 4.0 to 5.51 but all the links are now...

For large helmet orders, I would look into hydro-dipping. I don't have experience with it, but just saw it at a trade show and it does a professional job. Unless you are just sticking numbers or simple decals on a helmet, that would be the way to go. At least it deserves a look. I understand you...

Check the weather! I almost never work outside but we are in Maryland, not far from you and the weather has been grand recently... If you want to drive the truck to Maryland, we'll rent our shop to you over the weekend. 18 foot high door, 80 feet long (50 useable).

...And I just commented on a five year old thread.

There are a lot of easier and safer ways to earn $500 a day slinging vinyl...Unless you plan to charge $5,000 a day to remove it. Run! This can't end well.

The Daily Telegraph, in its early days, was owned by a Jewish man, a printer named Joseph Moses Levy. Today, it's owned by a bank (though which one is in dispute), and one of those banks is/are apparently shopping it around...Anyway, I don't even like climbing ladders anymore, much less hanging...

Got it. Embossed. Per above. Clean well. Use adhesive accelerant and/or heat as necessary.

Or...Re-Wrap. Remove the SUPER DUTY badge carefully, along with any other badges...But don't clean the adhesive...at least not well. Re-wrap the hood. Apply the badge over the old adhesive with two-sided tape. (That 3M VHB stuff or equivalent.) Or just remove SUPER DUTY, clean the remaining...

So you wrapped the hood using the super thin stuff (with soapy water I imagine) and it came out ok?! I think you are a better wrapper than you know! You'll be fine with dry applied Avery SW900, though that running board will be a pain to get around.

I'd like to know exactly how the magnet dented the door. It doesn't seem likely be there it is. Don't want to repeat the faux pas in my shop.

We've moved couple of Rolands. An SP and a VS. We locked the head with the little blue plate. I don't remember the procedure. But in both cases, the printers, for whatever reason, didn't work very well for the first several prints. My advice, if you experience the same thing, is don't panic...

They own the wrap or decals that you put on the vehicle after they paid for it. That's it. In my opinion, you should spell it out. Unless you made a previous agreement and/or they paid extra for it, you own the wrap design and the digital design panels that you used to run your printer. It...

The really silly answer is don't laminate longer than eight...or 10 feet. We laminate off of a table, as it appears you are doing. What we have found is that if you go longer than 10 feet and are even slightly crooked, the weight of the material pulls on the laminate and bad things happen. Our...

It's strange your USTech won't laminate the 30" vinyl. Our 54" USTech won't do anything past 30" without bubbles, so we keep it loaded only for the shorter rolls. If I'm not mistaken, this was a common problem... My rambling aside, we replaced the USTech with a 60" Dmais about three years ago...
