high impact, Are you referring to the RIPing, rather than the printing portion of Flexi?

goodgirl, Mason's on to it. Flexi is not faster than VersaWorks if all the printer settings are the same. Generally, Flexi defaults to a faster head speed than VW. Check every setting and you should find that there is a "scientific explanation" :) to why Flexi seems to be faster.

Call Roland in Irvine, CA with the serial numbers so they can track the life (or at least the birth) of these printers. That should help settle a few questions. If the owner balks at that - walk away. You should also be able to do a Service Report in Service Mode to see how many times the head...

Hotter can also indicate a higher level of VOCs, which may require ventilation to meet OSHA standards.

Make sure the menu is set to Stop when ink carts are empty. Menu - Sub Menu - Ink Control - Empty Mode - Stop; be sure to hit Enter after choosing Stop. If it is not set to stop, it will continue to print when the cartridge is empty.

Roland's ESM-PGCT is repackaged IJ180 so the Roland profile should work well.

SA International (formerly Scanvec-Amiable) has a Competitive Upgrade path to FlexiSIGN PRO 8.5. If you turn in your VersaWorks disc, Flexi is available at a significantly reduced price.

Roland's ESM-SGP2 Solvent Glossy Paper

Bottomline, I don't think you spoke to Beacon about SignLab. We (Beacon) are a Flexi Dealer, which does have a Designer version we often recommend to VersaWorks users.

The speed should be independent of the RIP you are using with one exception. Speed will be dependent on several factors including Head Speed. We recommend that every one of our customers install VersaWorks, even if they don't think they will use it. Eventually, users may find that they have to...

Baz, The printer's buffer should be able to spool the job before printing so the computer doesn't have to be a monster.

Chris, It would be a shame if you can't do the latest Firmware upgrade. Most print modes will realize an increase in speed with the Standard (360 x720) moving from 75 sfh to 150 sfh, a 100% increase in speed. Banding will also be greatly reduced or eliminated in most print modes.

You're right about 2 machines. Generally, you can get another activation if you wait a while and call to say one of your hard drives had to be reformatted or had a bad crash. Also, if you are going to make a change in an activated computer, make sure you deactivate CS3 before you make the...

A take-up reel may be a better option as you may have problems when ink touches ink. Do a quick experiment with a sample print before trying it on a paying job.

If you put cleaning carts in you'll have to flush the cleaning fluid and waste a bunch of ink. Put a bucket under the drain bottle just in case. How long will you be away, 6 months?:Cool 2:

The image should be sent to the RIP as an RGB colorspace (eitherProPhoto RGB or Abobe RGB 1998). You'll get wider color gamut this way. What RIP are you using?

3M 680 with cast lam

Use Roland's ESM-CCV2 that has an optically clear adhesive, which is the result of the clear liner. The liner keeps the adhesive perfectly flat and, as a result, optically clear. This is the way Oracal keeps their 290GF optically clear. The liner can cause excessive static on the vinyl, so...

Check the head scan speed in your RIP software. It may have defaulted to a slower speed than your original job.

You guys are a tougher audience than the old Fillmore East - and that's hard to top.:Big Laugh
