  1. Any Roland shops using Flexi for RIP?

    We've got a VP-540 and have always used VersaWorks. I'm perfectly happy with it, but wondered if anyone uses Flexi instead? We're running Flexi Pro 8.6v2. Any advantages or disadvantages?
  2. Vinyl applied to walls

    Oracal 631 exhibition cal.... matte finish, removable adhesive, lots of colors.
  3. Jetrix 2513RQ and CET XPress FK512

    Is anyone familiar with either the Inktec Jetrix 2513RQ or CET XPress FK512? Quality, price, print durability?
  4. Magnet problem

    Had a customer with a dark blue Dodge Ram stop by today. He's had his set of magnets for about 6 months. He just noticed this problem this past week when he was washing his truck. He said he has never noticed it before and that he takes them off every week to clean them and wash the truck...
  5. New competition!

    We quoted a small job a couple months ago for a local bridal store. I just noticed they had a new sign up and are now offering: bridal wear, travel services, novelties, lingerie and you guessed it.... SIGNS! It must have seemed like I was going to make a heaping piles of cash on those two...
  6. How do you deal with vistaprint customers?

    This is the second occasion I've had someone who has used Vistaprint in the past come into our shop and be baffled why were SO expensive. The first one wanted full color business cards... We gave them a quote and then they say, "Wow! Those are pricey. We can get free ones from Vista." Did...
  7. What type of digital banner do you like?

    What brands of digital banner are you using and like? LG? Herculite? Key? 3m? Utlraflex? We're looking for some different options to run on our Roland. I really like the print quality of the Roland ESM-LBV, but it costs a fortune :) We're currently using LG.
  8. VersaWorks quality setting

    In VersaWorks under the quality settings there is a drop down mode menu with a couple options: CMYK(v) + PASS and CMYK(v)W + PASS. What's the difference? What do they controll?
  9. Desktop color laser or inkjet printer?

    So it looks like our current desktop, multi-function inkjet is on it's way out. I'd say we go through one of these every couple years. For my replacement should I go with color laser or inkjet again? We are printing our color design proofs on this printer. What's your advice?
  10. Vp540 vs RS640

    What about one of the XJ Series printers? It would be a little less expensive that the XC-540 because it doesn't have the integrated cutter.
  11. Rastek h700 vs Legend72

    Does anyone know what an Rastek H650 runs. EFI doesn't have any price information on their website. They just say its "affordable".
  12. VP-540i verses XC-540???

    We debated the same thing. We ended up going with the VP540 instead of the XC. It is not as fast, but we didn't really need something that prints several hundred square feet an hour, and running a four color machine costs less per square foot than a six color with very little difference in image...
  13. Roland Printing Posters?

    We run a lot of the Roland Solvent Glossy Paper. Like some others said... it is more of a satin finish. It images very well, even at high speed. It does take a little while to dry with heavy ink loads.
  14. Thick outdoor plastics

    Has any one had experience with products like Color Core, Polycarve or Rowmark's Heavy Weights? I'm looking for some alternatives to HDU. If you have used and sold signs made from this, does it seem to retail about the same as sandblasted/routed HDU?
  15. Question for Photoshop whiz...

    Can someone explain this error? -- "Could not complete your request because the parser module cannot parse the file". I got this when i tried to open an .eps file in photoshop. Also tried saving the vector file created in Flexi as an .ai and .pdf file. Same result.
  16. Photo-tex Profile for my Sp540v?

    www.phototexgroup.com (it's about the worst website in the world, but it has the info you are looking for)
  17. Photo-tex Profile for my Sp540v?

    I believe they have recomendations for settings on the phototex website. I think it's the MCVP (matte calendared vinyl).
  18. Roland Intelligent Pass Control Upgrade Available for the VP-300 & 540

    What is everyones firmware version on the printer after installing the upgrade? v. 3.0?
