  1. How to convert PLT to DXF?

    Gerber .plt files are different than generic .plt files and you will probably get mixed results if you get any results using anything other than Gerber software to do the conversion. Gerber used to give out, or sell at reduced prices, layout stations with upgrades as an incentive to upgrade...
  2. Need Help Mimaki CJV150-75 / Parallels 11 Mac mini M4

    If you're doing production with software that is designed for Windows, you're going to be best off using a good Windows computer. As stated above, the cost is not much and is probably less than the time spent so far trying to make the Mac work if you calculate your shop rate for the amount of...
  3. Question Software for signmaking anc cutting as alternatie to SaiFLEXI ?

    I'm a big fan of Flexi and for most things it's great. The big thing is training. If you're comparing it to something that you know well, like Illustrator or Corel and you haven't been trained on Flexi, you'll get frustrated. If you're doing cut only, you can use the plug in from Summa with...
  4. Need Help Roland BN-20 Pain!

    The temperature sensor is on the print head and if you're getting temp errors and it's within spec, then your connection to the head is bad or the head itself is bad. It's very easy to get the cables inserted incorrectly on those if you don't know what you're doing. That can fry the head, or if...
  5. CM4 - hairy tabs on one side of sticker

    You can try cutting both length settings in half, this will give you tabs that are half the size and twice as many so you still have the stability needed to cut the rest of the shapes out. First, go in to cut line pattern and set it to 1 and save this. Then go back in and change the Type to...

  8. Print on Latex 335 & cut on Roland XC 540

    The marks are generated by the RIP. The printer just prints what is told to print. In Flexi, just set up the job in Rip and Print on the cut tab specify the XC as your cutter and Flexi will generate the right marks for your XC
  9. Why do I have to press PAUSE to get my Versacamm to print?

    Pressing pause bypasses the heater warmup. If you wait till the heaters are at the set temperature it will start automatically. If you print before theaters are at temperature you could have print quality issues. Good luck
  10. Need Help VG-540 Print Head Issues

    I dint think the ink on the bottom of the head is a huge red flag, but I would be looking below the head for a solution at this point. Start with flushing position adjustment, then check the thing from the caps to the pumps. Make sure all joints are tight. Then check the pump to make sure it's...
  11. Need Help Service Call 0002 Roland VG540

    This is a problem with communication between the main board and servo board. You can try unplugging all of the cables from the servo board (keep the cables that connect the main board and servo board plugged in) If you get a different error, then it's something downstream from the servo board...
  12. Rj900x printhead question

    It sounds like your ink may be growing mold. Is this dye sub ink? You may need to flush the ink system. Your ink manufacturer probably has a cleaning solution for this or a recommended solution. Good luck
  13. Roland RF-640 Shortening Prints

    Have you done the feed calibration on the banner material that you're having the most problem with? Also some banner material trends to stick to itself, so try unrolling the material before the printer has to pull it. Same thing if a full roll is too heavy for the printer. Have you replaced...
  14. Fine Black streaks on images whilst using a Roland SP540i

    Clean your black printhead. Look closely - with a flashlight- for any fibers hanging off of it

    GS2 and GR2 drivers have been released. Roland is still working on drivers for the older plotters.
  18. Avery 1105 wrap vinyl on awning

    Will this be backlit? If so make sure you evaluate the print in the same conditions. You might want to use a translucent or transparent film. If not the 1105 should work fine.
  19. Can I switch/flip the Black (K) head cables on an XC-540

    The manifold is the part that you replaced on the printhead. There's a gasket on the underside that seals the manifold to the print head. Make sure that's installed correctly. Also, there should be an o-ring in the bottom of the damper. Make sure that's in properly as well. They can become...
