Edit: on cut vinyl, you shouldn't have this issue if you're feeding straight, have the starter sled and have the pressure right. We do it daily. It won't track very well on 15 foot runs though because you can't get it aligned well enough (unless you're really good or lucky) to be able to push...

15 year daige user here - these laminators are finicky, but not impossible to use. We don't use one as our main laminators but as a masking machine they are good. Roller pressure should be cranked down to where they just touch each other, watch as they come down on each side and then adjust to...

Here's what comes to mind with this situation - I doubt Roland would push it to get this kind of negative media attention: https://www.wired.com/story/john-deere-farmers-right-to-repair/

We have stuck by rolands side for 10+ years and that loyalty is failing by the day. They are clearly pushing quantity over quality, releasing machines like the vg that clearly weren’t tested thoroughly, only to quickly release a vg2 to try to fix all of the problems they encountered. Their pro...

Even when this machine is working, it's not going to be worth much in terms of print quality. The modern machines do it so much better with so much less banding, that a lot of stuff off that machine won't be too sellable. It's also REALLY slow.

We are long term Flexi users too, but the way the company is run, and how many little issues we have that effect our day to day production, makes us look elsewhere.

We have an extra version of Flexisign and wanted to sell it, no big deal, did it before, so I sent an e-mail to Sai to get the license transferred. Come to find out, you cannot sell an extra version of Flexisign without completely transferring your whole account to someone new, which costs $450...

We have a version of Flexi Pro Cloud for sale if you're interested. We are flexi users too, but decided we can manage with only 1 Flexisign Pro version. We have been in touch with Flexi and know how to transfer the license, which is a forever license. Message me if you're interested in it. We...

You'll need to get into service mode and print the head bias alignment test, then mechanically adjust if it says so, after the mechanical adjustments, you will want to do the software adjustments, vertical, horizontal and bidirectional last. All of these are accessible in the service mode. I'm...

It's probably something with the scan motor. The scan motor is what initiates the movement of the head, and the head is the first thing that moves when you turn on the machine, if the code is getting thrown that soon, the scan motor is throwing the error. Try to replace it, or see if the...

Did Mimaki fix your issues with your printer banding once and for all? How has the machine been running? I talked to you on the phone a few weeks ago about it when they hadn't figured out the issues yet.

Saw that OEM Summa blades went from $132 per 5 pack to $199 per 5 pack overnight, Summa machinery is getting more and more expensive to run based on their ever increasing prices for consumables. Anyone have any alternatives to their blades?

Check all of your ink cartridges manually by pulling them out of the machine and shaking them and feeling if they are empty, one may be empty and the machine isn't telling you so. A test print that's dropped out (not printing in one whole section) will confirm this as well.

After years of fighting with Rolands take up reel system on our XR640, we finally invented a solution that works. We've had everyone from Roland try to figure it out. We've adjusted the silver dancer bar a million times, we've tightened, re-tightened, adjusted, etc. - the take up simply...

Always trying hooking it up to another computer, the software is free and easy to install of course so try that first. If your motherboard has issues, which you won't actually know (we had this issue), you'll see problems like this. This will eliminate that it's not your computer and you can...

Anyone in the industry knows that if you want cutting accuracy or consistency on a long run, do not use a Roland machine for cutting. They make great printers, but their cutters are not accurate, not consistent, and they simply cannot tell you why, only send you into a loop of "software...

The problem is way deeper than any alignment. Mark my word :)

Edit: Looking at this again, the h1 AND h3 test print that looks super inconsistent misfiring showing these heads are dead. You need to replace these two heads then align everything together. Looks like you did a bidirectional adjustment, this will fix very little if you have other more...

I doubt adjusting it will help if it's worked in the past on the same material, the cut carriage cable moves back and forth with the head and is basically a wear part on rolands after a couple of years of use. When ours went out, it was almost like the sensor was totally blind to the crop mark...
