  1. Separate cutting carriage from print-head carriage

    I operate a vs-540i and I have a 0109 error, I know all I should have to do is move the carriage down and move the wipers until I hear the telltale click, but my wipers are in such a position that the print-head carriage can't go past the wipers. Isn't there a way to separate the cutting...
  2. Cutting Issues

    Hey all, thanks for the suggestions! I ordered a new blade holder, a new blade protection strip and new blades - but the answer to the problem came with my tech's suggestion of putting a drop of liquid silicon lubricant into the bearing, then replacing the blade and twisting it around a bit to...
  3. Cutting Issues

    I'm beginning to agree, with all the combinations of blades/force/depth I've tried it has to be something else. Is there anyway to check the bearing myself or do I have to make a service call?
  4. Cutting Issues

    Recently we've noticed that instead of getting a nice clean smooth line cut in the vinyl we're getting a series of dots - what could cause such an issue? We've replaced the blade a number of times and I haven't had this problem before. It makes it especially difficult with smaller lettering. I'm...
  5. Print/Cut Troubleshooting

    So I checked, resaved and reimported the file Friday to no avail. When I got to work today I rechecked, resaved (with different name) and re-reimported, and it worked. Why it worked is a mystery. Why it wouldn't work to begin with remains one as well. Thanks for the suggestions!
  6. Print/Cut Troubleshooting

    I did the repeat in Versaworks - my supervisor said it may have made more than one pass but I've checked that as well and watched the cutting take place - one single pass on each decal, just the first one gets cut completely out.
  7. Print/Cut Troubleshooting

    I recently replaced the blade on my VS540-i, then sent a set of 2x3 oval decals to print/cut. For some reason, the first decal gets cut completely out of the vinyl - the rest are fine - I made sure to decrease my pressure after replacing the blade but I'm not sure if I installed the blade...

    Any takers on this font? I've been meaning to find it out for a week but have been swamped with other jobs.

  11. Egyptian-esque fonts for museum exhibit

    Hey all, I have a job involving a King Tut exhibit and, while able to keep the client from wanting Papyrus, they are still insisting on one of the fonts I've attached - does anyone know what they are? I think one may be Optima but not sure. Thanks!
  12. VS 540i take up reel?

    So we got the VS 540i last year and it's great, but there was no take up reel option, so we fitted it with the one that we were using with the SP 540v. It works for the most part but is not ideal - has anyone heard of a reel for the vs 540i?

  17. VS-540 Suddenly Leaking Cyan

    Foil? Yea that's weird. My gut thought was the cartridge wasn't fully inserted or came loose some how, but you said earlier they were all fully seated. I don't recall ever seeing a foil cap - maybe they sent you a cartridge for a different machine?
  18. Print, Laminate, Cut Tips & Tricks

    Wow, thanks for all of the input everyone! Once our tech comes out to install the new head I'll start going down the list using this info to help me figure this out. I've gone through the manual's procedure but before I wasted anymore time on it I wanted to consult you all - I think the machine...
  19. VS-540 Suddenly Leaking Cyan

    Yea that's one thing I like about this machine - the person I heard that from made it sound like if you only use your metallic or white seldomly - once or twice a month - even the periodic cleaning/circulation may not be enough. If you use them once a week or more I'd bet you're fine.
