Can someone tell be the difference between Oracal 3640-G and 3641-G They are both 4 year life calendered vinyl. I have used Oracal 3640-G in the 30" size for over ten years and now it is becoming harder to find so they tell me 3641-G in 30" in available instead. They are telling me the...

Does Roland make their own cap tops? It seems like they are almost $50.00 each now. I have been using original Roland cap tops for years but I also have tried the aftermarket cap tops and had some that worked fine and others that did not last very long. I would like to ask others what they are...

Not sure if this has been posted before. Vector has sold out to KKR another private equity firm for One Billion dollars. Vector paid 124 million when they purchased CorelDraw and they then spent another 30 million to take the company private. Total investment $ 154 million and profit on...

My Roland SP-300 is printing fine but today when it is time for the cutter to cut out each image with the Roland Magenta color it moves to the first image and just cuts though the image over and over until I hit the pause button. I forgot how to fix this problem which I had years ago and I am...

I have been trying Inkscape and was wonder the pros and cons from others who are also using this software. I realize the problem with using CMYK colors and have a work around for that for my Roland printer. I was reading that the learning curve is steep but so far I find it a lot like...

I have made the choice to stay with X-8 and not upgrade to the monthly subscription version. It's my understanding I can do this and I will no longer get any new upgrades in the future. Wondering if I should move X-8 to a off line computer and was just wondering what others are doing? Thanks Jim

I was at a sign shop that also sells and services Roland Printers and the guy who is the manager of the service department told me that my SP-300 is considered a legacy printer which means Roland no longer makes the servo board or the mother board. Because of this he told me they would not...

My question is when I am in the Service Menu I do not see anything for the Linear Encoder so that I can do the calibration. I have already completed the environmental match with no problem. Is the Linear Encoder calibration listed under something else? Jim

I just changed the scanner motor, encoder strip and the part the sits on top of the encoder strip, and the knife blade and holder. When in service menu the print head starts to move to the left about 10 inches and stops and I receive the 0110 error message. I have wiped down the encoder strip...

I contacted the Roland Dealer to have a service tech come out and service my SP-300 and he told me this would be the last time they would come out to service my printer because Roland classified this printer has a legacy printer which means they are no longer making parts for it. I was...

I have an SP-300V which I have owned for years and today I received my first scan error. I had just printed something and when it started to cut the magenta colored line it just kept going around in circles instead of moving on to the next image to cut. I cleaned the encoder strip and replaced...

I print using a Roland SP-300V and was wondering what type of vinyl to use for decals that will be used on the inside of glass. It would be great if the customer could just remove the front and stick it on their windows. Thanks Jim

I was just reading the Manuel for my SP-300 and just wondering if I am reading this correctly. It say's "you can connect either tube from the cap tops to either tube of the pump" Thanks for your help Jim

When my printer sits over night the next morning the printing looks bad like there is not enough ink. If I connect my tapered syringe to the hose under each cap top and pull ink through the lines it prints perfectly. My question about the capping station what are the signs when it is going bad...

trying to figure out why the yellow damper is getting magenta in it. I have replaced the dampers a few times along with New Roland cap tops. My printer is sitting perfectly level. I have always used Roland Inks. One question when I replace the damper I always pull the ink through the hole on...

I have an SP-300V that works just fine but because I have owned it for a number of years I am considering maybe buying an BN-20 I only use my printer a few times a week and everything I make is between 3.5" and 8" and I really do not do any production runs for decals. I would like to hear from...

I notice that each year it seems to be getting harder to find Roland SP-300V cap tops and dampers and other parts that routinely get replaced. Because I service my own printer some dealers will not sell you the parts unless then can install them. Looking for places to buy parts. Thanks Jim

I have used syringes for years when I had to pull in from under the cap tops. Recently I had an ink cartridge run out of ink and my SP-300V no longer let's me know when this is about to happen. When this happens the ink flows from one damper into another damper and the bottom line is it creates...

Still looking for an air leak on my Roland Versacamm SP-300V I have now changed cap tops, all dampers and O rings and pulled ink into each damper and they have the correct colors in them, both manifolds, all drain lines and the drain tank, New ink pump, and yet I still cannot pull ink from...
