The cookie’s tips video is bang on. We’ve been doing this for years and it works awesome. Drastically easier than scraping it off. I just laugh when I see competitors scraping away..

We are an Xpel dealer, we stock a few rolls of material at all times and have their dap software for cutting patterns. We actually sell quite a few kits a year - mostly high end vehicles, we’ve had a few $3000+ packages in the last year. I actually just priced a $7400 package for a new Escalade...
We have a L365 and we noticed the same thing.. the trick that has worked with every adhesive backed media we print is to wrap the leading edge with painters tape before we load it. We haven’t had one jam on any material since we started doing that. I can load the material now and not scroll any...
Why can’t you send to versaworks from Flexi? We run the newest flexi and theres a button right by the print button at the top of the screen that exports the file we are creating directly to versaworks with zero effort but clicking the button and hitting ok.. we use the flexi rip for our latex...
You won’t get any true matte finish on any vinyl without putting a Matte laminate on it.. there is no special way of printing matte or gloss, print is print - the finish of your ink itself cannot be changed

If you are using 3m frosted or dusted crystal you can overlap and double cut it like tint , we do it all the time and it turns out perfect. Use the same solution you use for tint with a turbo squeegee - works the same.

I second catalinJ - all Roland printers come with versaworks rip software that works pretty damn good, we used it for years. Whenever we got a new computer we would just reload the software and it would see the printer on the system and just re-register itself and away you go.

There is no way that printer can't print what you want correctly - we have an old Roland vp540 4 color in our shop (along side a new hp latex 365) and we've printed miles of vinyl on that old dog with perfect coverage that looks almost as good as straight coloured vinyl. Sounds crazy, but go...
What we do with terribly bad faces is print on clear and apply to the face and then print on translucent white with matte laminate and layer over top the clear print. Keeps prints vibrant and you won't see any ghosting. We've done tons like this and it Works beautifully. Overlap an inch, let it...
Disagree 100% - they're killer for wraps.. we found it drastically easier to install wraps printed on our latex vs our ecosolvent printers

Buy a filmhandler.. they come up to 72" wide and you mount them ontop of a ladder and it cuts film beautifully - we have two of them for on site film install

I've got a 2008 jv33-160 running dual cmyk on oem inks that's running and shows a perfect head and I'd send it out the door for 3k if anyone wanted it.

Purchase vector magic, it saves us days worth of redrawing a year. Best vector trace program I've ever seen and usually requires minimal tweaking after

If no lam is required use a 3m IJ35 matte vinyl - thick enough to stick without lam and can be written on easily as well

Use a oraguard 210 matte lam - we use it for HEavy duty service decals on orajet 3651 and everyone loves them - we sell them to several fleets and everything writes on them and they hold up awesome

You will absolutely love a stand alone cutter - we have a Roland VP540, as well as a HP Latex 365 with a summa S1 T160 and the cut accuracy with the summa is FAR superior to the Roland print/cut - and easily twice as fast at a normal pace. We also have a Summa D140 and its accuracy is far above...
