Have a customer with aluminum tank trucks. We've used regular #M vinyl and has peeled in the past. We also digital print 3M an it too peeled off within a year. Anyone have any ideas on what else we could use that will not peel? We have this Arlon sticky vinyl but it tends to shrink and then you...

Using latest VW and illustrator Cloud subscription. All of a sudden now every job I send the machine is double cutting; even using previously used files that worked fine. Roland is saying to save as a PDF instead of an eps file. I've restarted everything but it seems to be a know issue...

Installing snap trim on a sign. I don't have a 45 degree cutter. We do so few that's it's not worth it. But, cutting the 45 can be little challenging. I get it close but I was wondering if anyone has a better way of cutting the corners more precisely.

A nearby competitor, actually one sweet over, is retiring and has asked if we'd want to buy his whole business or part of it. Thoughts, concerns? He has a stable customer base which is probably the strongest selling point for us. His machines are older than what we own now.

Alternative to Gemini? Has anyone noticed their process sucks? We'd like to use a different source to get acrylic letters.

Really? 2 1/2" more waste on this new machine compared to the SP (see pics). Can I drill out another hole for the sensor? What a waste!

First we now have a new SG-300 using the VersaWorks Dual. So far so good, but - 1) there are no profiles available and the four that came with the machine really aren't enough, where can I find the "stock set" like what came with VW? 2) when the sheet cuts and I feed it back through to...

Looking at purchasing a printer mainly to do labels and our smaller sized stuff. We already have a Roland large format printer and large laminator. We still have our 30" laminator. Apparently the SG model uses the 500ml bags which you save about 20% vs buying 2x220ml cartridges for the VSi...

We been ordering a few rolls a month, or more sometimes, 48" 3M ij180CV3. We try to have enough on hand but sometimes we need to get it in a less than two days. My question is - Is 48" an odd size and not something they stock? Am I the only one using 48" here in Maine or the Northeast? Just...

We've been getting 3M-IJ180Cv-3 10 gloss and using Oraguard 290 cast. So far we've had pretty good luck installing this combination. We recently tried a new rolland for some reason as we installed a panel the edges wanted curl in or up or whatever. It seemed like we were spending a good deal of...

Colordyne 1600C roll label printer. Any feedback on this machine?

I get windows 7 launched but as soon as I launch FlexiSign the creeps to a crawl. Takes forever to open a file, move, delete, etc. Planning on reinstalling - any thoughts?

Well, stupidly or not I went with FlexiSign upgrade. As I stated before, I am trying to run this on a Mac using Parallels/Windows 7. As I suspected the Key, or dongle, is not being "seen" by FlexiSign when I launch it. I have tried to get the machine to recognize the USB dongle but there is...

Whoa - doing a huge upgrade of a new MacBook Pro to FlexiSign (on a Mac running Parallels, El Capitan (10.11.1) Should I go with Windows 7 or Windows 10? And, has anyone even done this?

How do you get this curve? Other than endless trial and error method is there a better way? Also we have different vehicles that we're doing lettering on that top curve.

Looking for a estimate for how much peeps charge for site visits/milage? We went with .20¢/mile. Thoughts?

I have a Roland 540i. Wondering if anyone has made an inexpensive take-up reel. I can think that I would use an empty tube and probaly tape the lead edge to it and turn the tube as it comrs off the heater. I'm looking to do this without drilling a bunch off trial and error holes in my pretty new...

This was an install job for a customer. We had a hellofa time installing this stuff. It wasn't air-release and the first panel we laid down had a bunch of bubbles. Ended up using water as we saw no other way. Came to us masked, which we removed. Anyone have any experience with this stuff?

We had a hellova time applying 3m screen (pre) printed vinyl with a liquid lam. It was very brittle (about 2 years old) and wasn't air-release. We ended up using water but the deep channels didn't hold very well and hate using water but couldn't get it to work without. Any suggestions, tips on...
