So last night my machine started sounding a little noisier than usual, specifically when the carriage moved back towards the start position when printing. I know the motor has been replaced in the past, whether the counter was reset I do not know. But my suspicion is the scan motor, it has...

So I'm considering getting a summa d140 to help increase productivity a bit, but I was told the flow would be a bit wonky as I'm running a Roland SP-540V. (Which is in good shape and I don't want to get rid of it and I cannot afford a new print system) Does anyone use this kind of workflow? I...

So I've been trying to finance new equipment for the last couple of months. I'm really leaning towards and Epson machine. The company I tried with gave me a rate of 24% interest rate over 4yrs with $5k down. I told them I didn't want to take it because of that rate. They kept trying to tell me...

I mainly do custom cut vinyl stickers. it's approx. about 90% of the work I do. One request I get a lot is for metallic/holographic vinyl. I've struggled with Rtape and using it on my SP-540V. Sure I can print on it but limitations of having a 6mm clear edge if it's going to be cut is rather...

So yesterday everything was printing fine and has been for quite a while but I came in and did a test print like I do every day when I startup the machine, except the cyan was pretty much non-existent. I did a cleaning and it got a little better but it's still not coming out out it. Haven't had...

Now that I'm transitioning into a regular operating business I'm finding I need a better way to track and schedule jobs. I need some direction and tips for organization as I'm not highly organized myself and this is a whole new world learning the business side of thing. Right now for...

My SP-540V has really been giving me a hell of a time. I had encoder strip problems a few weeks ago and I bought a new strip, installed it and everything was fine. Now a few weeks later, I started a print the it started fine and then went to a blurry mess. I cleaned the encoder a couple times...

I'm looking into upgrading in the next 6months and I'm not sure which direction to go in. My space is rather limited but I could fit the Epson 40600 and a cutter I can move around easily. It would be tighter but doable. So i've been searching a reading reviews on the SG, which most are from...

So i just replaced the network card in my machine a few weeks ago and it's been running fine in that respect but today I just got an encoder error. Turned the machine off and when it came back up it says it's not connected in Versaworks. The lights on the network card in respect to the machine...

Not quite sure what going on. The start of the sheet and all the print is fine until it prints the last couple sets of marks and they had get skewed/blurred. It's done it on two different jobs. Really not sure what is causing this. I don't think it's encoder because the entire print would be...

My machine is down and no idea when I will be able to get it back up and running yet I need someone preferably in Maine/NH/Mass who could help me with sticker work. Thanks

It was fine sunday and I just came in and started everything up and I can't connect to my SP-540V anymore. InterCon-Net Tool doesn't show anything even if I rebuild, refresh...etc....I reinstalled it and nothing. Really not sure what happened....I'm guessing maybe a windows update threw it out...

So I've been asked a few times about doing these. Just for small products and small runs (50-300). Now I'm thinking 12mil is pretty substantial but not sure if it's quite thick enough. I'd be printing eco-solvent but I'm sure my SP-540V just wouldn't be able to handle the cutting. So I'm eyeing...

My encoder strip on my SP-540V is definitely bad. Can I still cut jobs that I've already printed??

Not really sure if it's something I can fix, but it drives me crazy. I do a lot of smaller sized round labels. (1.5inches) It's kinda hit or miss when I do print and cut because I'll get some the are great and others the cut is off more than I think it should be. For instance I did 2 sheets this...

Yesterday it was working fine and when I came in this morning. Now the bi-direction is way off. I've cleaned the encoder strip and calibrated it. and this is where I am now. Now sure where to go other than a new encoder strip but I'd think it would all be off not just the first two adjustments...

I still haven't been able to resolve this silvering issue. I know it's usually due to cooler laminate, but it's been up to 75 degrees in here and I still get silvering. It goes away after a couple days but it's frustrating that everything is coming out this way. Any suggestions on what I can...

I'm not sure but I don't remember the yellow being dirty like this. Could this be a sign for damper replacement?

I've been doing lots of stickers and labels. I'm on a limited budget and have been using the same material for both but would like to switch it up and use one vinyl for stickers and another for labels. What do you guys use for product labels and do you laminate them?

So this morning I noticed the I'm getting magenta in my yellow printing. Bad head or something else? Can't afford to be down at all right now. I'm running a SP-540V
